the only thing im really happy with is my daughter works in corsicana, i put together 2 emergencty bags for her, one at her desk one in the car, they have water flashlite whistle asprin, hand powered phone charger, bandages, knife, jerky, etc. and a map to sherrifs office, city police, AND all our relatives within the radius of corsicana, my thinking (disaster) is for her to survive, to make to sherrifs office, or family thats close, not trying make 18 mile trek to us,

which brings up, im lacking fishing supplies, lacking camping supplies, i do have a good truck w camper, and good trailer, i need some type of portable solar power, just to keeep batterys charged at least, this is really really tough to prepare for any of the scenarios we think about, but i think any preparedness will put a guy ahead of the curve,

If you do invest in a portable charger, the best bet would be a 12V DC charger that's high quality. You can easily step down from there for various devices. 12V DC can be used to power any portable device, your car, trailer, etc. AC really doesn't have as much significance if you're going to be moving.

you know i just dont see it ever being a winning situation for most people,

The reality is that it's not a good situation by any means. However, it's better to try your best.

this is a great question, one i pose to myself regularly, i live 6 miles from town on a fm road, my wife is handicapped, i have several dogs, now i have 2 ar-15s a shotgun and what i consider enough ammo, ive got a few cases of bottled water in the trailer, my place is fenced, ive got a garden, no meat supply though, a couple generators, but no stored gasoline, i do have a couple of vehicle options for bugging out, but im thinkn ill have to bug in, for awhile, then im thinking my best option, is then to travel about 12 miles to the trinity river and try and set up a base camp as secluded as possible, you know i just dont see it ever being a winning situation for most people,

The only people that will be in good shape will be those in very rural areas, far from cities, and beyond the scope of interest for anyone to seek them out. With the exception of Sleeper, yourself, and a few others, we're all in the city. And that's going to be a pretty tricky predicament to navigate out of.

I have maps showing me how to get to each location using as many backroads as possible already and avoiding any town over a few thousand people.

Smaller the town, the greater the chance the community will be working for itself. Which means they will most likely not be trusting of outsiders

In case you didn't know it, most gun owners are responsible law abiding citizens interested in protecting their families. They are not would be assassins going on a rampage.

BS If it comes saving themselves (and maybe their family) the once unthinkable and unconscionable will become a daily occurrence. In a lawless society the foolish and weak will become victims.

I think the better question is where are you planning to go? That you won't just be shot by an unseen shooter for whatever you have on you.

Probably better to try and hide and let most people kill each other off first. To increase your chances

It is a great question and the answer depends on a lot of things.

For one, you need to either get out before the shit gets really bad or lay low and let the first round of murders play out. I have 3 places I can go. Two are friends and one is mine. One is north, one is south and one is east.

First I have to rally my family at home if possible and then pick a direction to go depending on the situation. I have maps showing me how to get to each location using as many backroads as possible already and avoiding any town over a few thousand people.

I have to admit a lot of my plan counts on country folks maintaining their cool when the cities have gone to hell. It's not failsafe, but it's better than staying in a fed controlled mil taken over city. If you are in town when the blue helmets of the UN arrive, you are screwed that's for sure.

If the shit ever happens, it's not going to be a free for all shooting anything that moves (at least not at first). In case you didn't know it, most gun owners are responsible law abiding citizens interested in protecting their families. They are not would be assassins going on a rampage.

Figure out the signs that say you need to bug out and communicate them to anyone you care about. The sign that tells you to get the F out of the city is the most important thing to know. I know mine. What's yours?

I have a Midway range bag that has a center pocket with that has two Glock 19s, one with a threaded barrel for the SWR Octane 9 suppressor, and a Streamlight TLR-1 650 lumen weapon light. The other is a stock Glock for either double wielding or spare parts.

One of the sides has magazine pouches for 8 fully loaded magazines. I also have 2 fully loaded mags of defense ammo in the center pouch with the guns and 2 spare Glock 19 mags with defense ammo.

The other side has 2 pockets, one for a gun cleaning kit, and the other can hold a box of 100 rounds.

I would grab my work AR since it has a mag in the well, and my leg pouch with 6 loaded mags.

Also my tactical first aid kit and a couple of water purification straws.

Of course I'd grab a couple of my trusty Fenix 850 lumen flashlights and my 10 pack of CR123 batteries.

Grab ar go inna woods

[TeeShock]

This scenario happened in a dream last night and the only items I had time to grab were a pistol/rifle and my gym bag. Another thing that held me back was not keeping more fuel in my vehicle.
