Some musings on SHTF, etc   September 20, 2003, 11:59 AM
Thursday night when the wind was blowing a steady 75 mph, the
rain was horizontal and the power was off, I was thinking...
here it is, a true SHTF situation where anythig could happen and
not a lot of it good. Sure, I had flashlights, candles, matches,
weapons, ammo, bottled water, etc., but there was so much I had
forgotten, ignored or overlooked. I had a strong sense that
looters, vandals or other vermin might use the storm or it's
aftermath to prey on others, incluing my family. Fortunately
this didn't/hasn't happened and the only intruder was unwanted
water in the lower level of the house.  Can anyone recommend any
books or manuals that illustrate the steps necessary for
effective preparedness in the event of situations such as this?
I hope all THR members caught in the face of this hurricaine are
safe, healthy and secure.  If you enjoyed reading about "Some
