Lets say you end up shooting someone.
Imagine how these signs would be taken by the police and DA's office!

Could be taken as giving them more than ample warning.
TEOTWAWKI...What does it mean to you.

Inventory your supplies
It is gonna be a bumpy next 2 1/2 years.
Be prpared for civil strife
Be ready for food and fuel shoratges
Be ready to defend your AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE
because you just may have to.
I am planning on getting a small motor home so I can get to JJ's place.:biggrin: On a serious note I have done some preparing but not where I want to be yet.

I told my son (buying in together) that we needed a name for the farmstead and his response was "How about KTFO Acres"? Stands for "Keep the F Out". I'd have preferred a more wholesome name but I like his style, and it does suit my mentality exactly. :biggrin:
DH and I already have a 35 ft. motor home. Let's put together a Caravan to KTFO Acres! :laugh: Actually, in a TEOTWAWKI situation, one thing is certain, the motor home will be of no use to us in a bug out situation, as it would stick out like a sore thumb, would be useless "off road" and would need gas that probably will not be available. IMO, if one has to bug out, on foot is the best scenario, making it easier to move undetected. We have a crossbow for "silent" game hunting (don't want to attract attention while in the woods).
Acquiring "barter" items is a good idea. At present, we're buying batteries every time we go to Sam's Club. We also have boxes of "strike anywhere" matches to trade. Ladies (and gentlemen) don't forget that gold and silver jewelry could come in handy, too. Even broken sterling silver chains can be added to your barter items! THINGS NOT TO USE FOR BARTER: food and/or ammunition...best NOT to advertise that you have a supply of either.
As with the rest of you, our "planning" is on-going. It's impossible to prepare for EVERY possible scenario. Just do your best to get yourself prepared -- and don't forget to prepare your best weapon against TEOTWAWKI--your mind!
Nice Tip: The "fluff" in your dryer lint screen makes great campfire tinder. It can be balled up and used to start fires quickly . I've been saving ours in small zip-close food storage bags. Easy to stuff in bug-out bag and VERY light weight.leasantry:
