Russia - Should We Be Alarmed Yet? :)

[space otter]

Armap
think of it as a fire drill
where would you go, how would you contact your family
where would you meet up with your family
do you have a bag packed if you had to head out fast and what direction would you take is there a safe location you could meet up with family
really  i don't think we will be nuked  (well i didn't till bolton came into the picture yesterday)
but i think we are in for one helluva ride with the earth because it is in transition
i'm fortunate.. i've been getting this place prepared since way back because i plan to stay here.. only thing that has changed is the age of me and what i can handle so you adjust where you can

and yeah Maverick i agree family first

guess we should be in one of seekers bug out threads
but when i hear of bombs and services being cut i think of
what to do in those situations .. so i guess it's all connected

Never did or even saw one.

We don't have any of those prepared.

Also, living in an apartment building in the middle of a large (for Portugal) city doesn't give as many option as living in an independent house.

We don't have any of those prepared.

just because you don't have as many options as in a house..
you still have options
just think of what you would need if your building was going to fall down and you were evacuated..
what would you need to take and what info would you need to have with you...
i.e.  ID, bank info, insure info.etc. and maybe some cash and clothes..how fast could you get out of your apartment and where would you go
how would you contact your immediate relatives or find them

it may seem morbid but it'a always better to have a plan
then you can act instead of mostly react

You're right, specially because I live in a relatively active seismic area, I felt (if I'm not mistaken) seven earthquakes, one of them strong enough to damage older buildings.

well think about it

if you woke up in your jammies and had to run fast out of there

wouldn't a packed bag by the door be a blessing...

and an already communicated plan with your loved ones of how to reconnect?

plans are good things.. so a secondary one is also good

A long time ago  in a galaxy not really that far away I started a whole thread on getting prepared... NOT to be a survivalist but just to be ready..

Seems when we had that first forum snafu that was all erased.

I will do it again soon Am working on it now in the coffee shop 

I had started with a house fire...

Many people sleep naked or in just thin pajamas.  So it's the middle of the night and there is a fire in the house or apartment building... you need to evacuate NOW

So the power is out because of the fire and its dark

So you run outside naked or in thin garments and its the middle of winter...

Had you PREPARED   you would have a set of clothes and shoes and your wallet and car keys in ONE SPOT so you can grab it on the way out the door.  ID is hard to replace... wouldn't want to leave that to burn

Your bedroom is on second floor?  Well buy a FIRE LADDER just in case to climb out the window (there are other amazing options for higher floors

Point is if your a little prepared you won't find your ass out in the snow without clothing or a wallet to get a hotel room

I deleted the response I was initially going to make to this thread, as I felt it was excessively vindictive; but your picture here, Zorgon, is worth the proverbial thousand words.

Awww.  Is being a survivalist such a bad thing?

No it isn't  but 90% of people wouldn't know how and need a little help starting out getting prepped

The survivalists don't need help   They figure it out

One example...  if the brown poop hit the proverbial air moving device... now many people would survive without this ONE item?

I don't think the lack of that particular item would kill them.

You don't know SNOWFLAKES

You don't know SNOWFLAKES

I know I am supposed to resist the urge to go down to their level; but that was so, so glorious.  That was the reason why I wanted Trump to win.  Not because I believed he would do anything good for the country, but simply because I wanted, so very badly, to see the Millennial SJW Left get collectively kicked in the face.

Show me one case.
