"Let the bodies hit the floor"
Come and find out!
Then I'll have your stuff too.

Look to history on what the population of the losers had to do, should have done. Act accordingly.

Get a manual gram scale to weigh out gun powder (to sell/trade), medication, silver, gold, print out (I laminated mine) the % of silver in U.S.A. coins think pieces of eight, tin Snips, storage bags, fire starter (got a box full of cheap lighters), salt and pepper will be worth more than gold and silver, drinking alcohol with shot glass.
Most importantly be ready and able to defend/ offensively you and yours with no hesitation right or wrongly.
Shit happens

I don't reply here much, but as the weenies in DC embolden our enemies and some justifiably would say that "they are the enemy too", it's not a farfetched question. I have a lot of "stuff" to come out the other side ok. What I lack in supplies are easily attainable by those who have failed to be prepared. 'nuff said. You like minded folks know exactly how to proceed in a SHTF scenario.

Add: Ham and shortwave, reloading knowledge and materials, small circle of trade partners.

In addition, Marine Band and/or Aircraft Band Radios should be considered for a little more op-sec.
Not as many people will have Marine Band Radios outside of Boats on the Water and even fewer will have aviation radios.
If you're thinking of monitoring or even being able to transmit with Government entities, you can pretty well forget it unless you have "trunking" Digital equipment that's expensive...even a scanner is going to be pricey.,
Satellite Phones aren't cheap, but work damn near anywhere in the World, and short of an "Independence Day" alien take over of our Satellites or them getting nuked out of orbit, they'll work when nothing else does.

Shit if camel toe gets in and actually does price controls on food you better have supplies because the shelves will run bare.

Yep, giving them justification to take over with gov and marshal law. Create the crisis…

Musk is turning up a direct to satellite cell network.

All the starling satellites he has been launching lately have that capability.

Basically works just like a regular cell network except the towers are all in orbit.

Would use normal cell phones as transceivers. It's intended to compete directly with existing cell providers on price and capability. Which is why they are fighting it in court tooth and nail.

Not as rugged as a good HF transmitter, it does rely on external infrastructure, but it also doesn't need 100 feet of antenna either.

Pretty cool looking into the nighttime sky and seeing that long bar of "lights" from the Starlink...freaks people out that don't know what it is though.
Wonder what's going to happen (if it isn't already) when private companies start salvaging Space debris and defunct craft in orbit?
That's one of the things I like about Elon: his overt "fuck you" to the establishment and elites.

Starlinks are in a very low orbit for a variety or reasons, not the least of which is that they will decay and burn up in just a couple years if they lose control of one.

I think we are a very very long way from actually salvaging debris in space.

But, Musk did get the contract to bring the ISS down in a few years when they decomission it.

Not to salvage, just to drop it in the ocean at point Nemo.
