Should build a wall around that cesspool, razor wire on the top, attack helicopter patrols. Leave the hoods and policy makers in there, they are both the problem, let them sort this out.
Scary idea, I lend myself the idea to Bug In rather than Bug out being that I live in a rural community. First would have to be safety of my immediate family make sure everyone is home and ok. I would then start security protocols around the home and begin to take and active inventory of what...
This is a good idea, I found this article...worth checking out.
Prepper Problem Solving - Creating a Bug Out Bike and Trailer Rig - The Prepper Journal
A possible idea, rented storage unit near the river. EDC to your storage unit where your preps await and have the time and security to assemble and last minute game plan (gather Intel). Then move on to cross the river.
I wonder if perhaps an inflatable might work for crossing the Hudson...obviously would depend on the conditions and location.

These appear to be small enough to pack away and it states on the...
F/S Barely used Laserlyte Training gear for sale or interesting trade. Scoretyme trainer and Trainer Pistol Premium - LT-PRE (which is universal for all handguns) to be sold together. Everything works as should. MSRP on this is over $470...Will let it go for $300. Can ship if needed.
Not sure of the type of work you do Phautoe, but is bugging in an option? Hold up somewhere until the time is right to head home? Different kind of prep list with that situation.
I can't give to much advise as I have never lived in a large city or even been to NYC to be honest but I think the most important thing would to have a few designated routes out of there if SHTF. Survival chances go up exponentially further from huge population centers you are in a SHTF situation.
I was at the local truck stop exchanging step kids this weekend, It was amazing to see how few people are aware of their surroundings. These areas are a potential breeding ground for criminals and with all eyes focused on phones it is unfortunately rampant with easy prey.
This is an interesting concept. I do not live far from home but I am interested to see the input. A couple of questions. What hazards to you face on your commute? Urban route? Rural roads? How bad is the snow in your area? How many access points are there for crossing the river on your...
I think most of us here believe that protection is responsibility of the individual and not the government. I fully support law enforcement as well but most of the time they play clean up crew and an investigative role. Stay vigilant.
I have just started looking into a radio addition, Does anyone have any recommendations? I have thinking either the BaoFeng BF-F8HP or the BaoFeng UV-5X3.
I plan on just using this for scanning and monitoring. Transmitting in a SHTF situation. Possible license down the road.
A couple of interesting reads...

We need to encourage innovation on this but definitely not for me. Might serve a good purpose as a hide away gun, or a back pack gun? Not really the best carry option.
In an effort to make cheaper electricity the utilities in this country over the last 20 years has automated may facets of the power grid, unfortunately this also leave all of us very vulnerable to outside attacks.
If this really peaks your interest you may want to check out Major John Plaster's stuff (Ultimate Sniper). Has written a few sniping books and I have also seen his video. All very informative.
Here is a link to his first book, not sure what version this is a few revisions have come out. It...
Model citizens....God I am so sick of hearing about Heroin in our communities. It really is a scourge that needs to be eradicated. 10+ years minimum sentence requirements for this shit, honestly this crap needs to stop. I was just reading how overdoses have doubled in the last year with...
Unfortunately I think that these types of attacks will continue throughout Europe until these countries wake up and start taking things seriously. The EU has stupid policies in regards open borders and refugees. At least the UK has woken up with Britex and started to take control of their...
This article makes my brain hurt...more "it's ok when I do it, not when you do it" BS! I support anyone that wants to own firearms for whatever reason (protection/ sport etc) but honestly, they will take a gun in one hand then bash the people (NRA/Trump) who fight for that right???? It truly is...
Interested in getting an LCR for my carry gun, my initial thought was to get a .357, probably carry with .38 +P in but always having the option for .357. ( I currently have an GP-100) Then I got to looking at the 9mm as well, like the moon clip idea for quick reloads. Decisions decisions :)
I ran across this channel a few months ago, well done bringing it to the masses Phauxtoe! Anyone interested in self defense should view these. Know your foe, stay vigilant!
I am a bit partial to wheel guns but I say go with a GP-100, its a superbly well built gun. .357 are easy to shoot out of it, .38's for fun. I have the 4 inch version and love this gun.
What is happening in Europe is horrific and the perfect need for vetting refugees coming into this county. These refugees are not interested in becoming part of western civilization. They are only interested in Shira law.
This is what I do not understand, people are more worried about the fact that Russia hacked the DNC (or didn't?) than what they actually found out. To me its like Snowden, people were so fixated on this guy that stole secrets instead of the actual message he was trying to bring to the forefront...
I know that a pocket holster would most likely have prevented this from happening, but this is also the same reason I feel nervous about pocket carry. I feel that when carrying a firearm should be in its own designated holster out of the pocket. We are all preconditioned to much to throw our...
