    You’re assuming that the situation would be orderly enough for buying to still be possible - for the internet to still be accessible and online, the power grid itself to be still working, drinking water not to be contaminated and even emergency radio to be active. Most of all - the need to arm oneself, with the implicit expectation to win any confrontation.

    You and I are both guilty of relying on media portrayals of a societal collapse - the likelihood everything would go according to expectations is probably nil.

      Did you even read my post? I didnt make any of those assumptions thats why i stressed to drop everything and do this immediately. Everything i listed should be done within an hour or 2 of the first bomb going off. If your not in the region it went off in society isnt just gonna collapse instantly. There will be a very short window to react. i literally address many of the things you bring up in my comment. Like cooking rice in cold water, filling bathtubs and containers before taps run dry, etc.

      How does me saying to have a weapon imply youll win every fight?? Its just a measure to take to improve your chances. Your certainly gonna do better with one than without.

      As for emergency radio you check it regardless of if itll be working or not. You dont just assume it wont be and not bother. Thats the whole point of the post. It doesnt garuntee anything survival or otherwise it just improves your chances to take measures like this.

      If you have some sort of issue with the advice im giving and want to add on to it, or correct something and offer a better alternative please do so, but why barely skim my comment and reply basically saying “nuh uh” in more words?
