Hint: Divide your stores into discrete packets. Store these packets
in different places (a couple buried, one up in a tree, one in the
attic, etc.). When the person with all the bullets demands - on the
life of your youngest child - food, give up one of the packets.


Prepping ain't just about storing food. Taking precautions as far as
defense is part of it too. If the **** hits the fan, do you just think
you can walk up to my house, threaten me and take my preps? Do you
think you will be the only one with guns and ammo?


If you live in some jurisdictions and you were formerly the law-abiding
type, the chances of you having a gun are miniscule.
