for field mice doc try a good whiskey it kills the taste buds.

bill,

you pose a great question. And thinking back to when I wrote this article out I realize I never took into consideration the city dwellers. When the balloon goes up you have to decide what you are doing fast cause you have maybe 5-10 mins to either get out of dodge or barricade yourself in and fight it out till you can run but by then your chances are down greatly. I live out in the sticks where my time table is higher but only to about 15-20 mins either way city folk need to think about all the possible threats fire is one I never thought of cause again I am removed from city life.

my EDC bag is a 5.11 tactical bag I bought on sale for 30 bucks. It was a great buy and has made me think more on multi purpose items to save on space. I also was thinking about having my team get them so we all would have them and be ready to go at a moments notice.

one thing you might want to think on is even though you are young and inexperienced as you say you do have something us as older people don't have. The ability to learn fast and true the older you get the harder it is to stop bad habits and listen to the younger generation. Just remember that all of your team is not alone there are many preppers/survivalist groups and listen to the old timers talk you can learn a lot from them. Never sell yourself short.

thnaks T.J. i am looking into Survival quarterly sounds like my type of publication

hey chef thanks for the tips and i love my camelback pack for short day or two jonts

those are nice but in my group we are looking at the 5.11 tactical gear i am doing a review on their push bag which is like a shoulder bag for my guys right now.

that is a nice thought that some will ask but you know as well as all my guys do that asking is for the guys like us not the ones that will survive in the cities I have thought on this many times SCUM survives when many decent folks will die its not right but it is fact it seems the ones that will thrive are the ones that need to be put down like a rabid dog.

its a reasonable way to look at things its not harsh

Mike
I tend to agree with you but line Ken said its a possibility that this is just a recon to judge what you number is and to find out if their group is bigger its always going to be a risk meeting people in a EOTW situation so i am kind of the mind set damned if you do damned if you don't I honestly hope that things never turn into the situation where you have to be untrustworthy of your neighbor just to survive but it might so steel your core group to that fact you might have to defend what you have with deadly force.
