Besides, I've got everything I need for that in a lab that I share with just 3 other people. The medical tech might go back to 1970s or 1980s quality in some cases, but that's still pretty good for most situations.

I happen to live close to chiron, genentech, bayer, and a shit ton of other labs.. We'd only need one. I have enough know-how to direct experiments that real scientists design. Their tech is certainly not 80's style, and if it REALLY comes down to it, that shit is getting taken quick.

This is exactly the type of response I'm looking for.

RE: bolded: Mexico starts to look a bit more attractive eh? All the jokes about the fence being used against us don't seem so funny in this situation.

mexico never looks attractive

Your water advice is a little further to the permanent side than I'd be comfortable with in this situation. It's all well and good if you have a permanent encampment, but you need to be prepared to carry what you need on your person for this situation.

Iodine is gr8 choice, a kilo of it goes a long way. If you had a scientific professional [You must be logged in to view images.

That'll have to wait til after my hilltop cult gets the first round of inductees though, fuck knows I'm not testing on myself.

purify water = simple answer. bring to a rolling boil for 6-8 minutes then strain through clean cloth. might not look like dasani but it is just as clean

I'm too valuable alive to be killed except by chance, and most people can't aim for shit. Most people pointing a gun aren't that scary unless they're really close, because in reality, all you have to do is be a somewhat moving target. But if you got that close, I'd murder you too. I suppose I should be banned as well.

Yeah, with a pistol or rifle you'd be right. Someone who is aware they are a target will not be easily shot by someone with a pistol or rifle by someone unskilled in shooting.

Luckily they made cheap guns for people with bad aim and/or for fast moving targets, Shotguns. Anyone with $300 can get a decent long range shotgun with all the chokes they need and a variety of shot shells for different occasions.

I won't be using my shotguns in this hypothetical to shoot ducks and birds. I'd use it more for wounding people in shootouts when absolutely necessary. Otherwise it's the pistol for up close unaware people or a rifle at long range.

Hunting animals for food with guns will be one of the dumbest things you could do to feed yourself.

Hitting a moving target is pretty easy with some basic marksmanship training. Used to do it pretty much weekly.

if it was on a shooting range, you have to remember those things aren't moving as if their life depended on it lol.

my "best training" has probably come from hunting squirrels and rabbits with a .22lr after they are spooked and on the run. Small quick targets that change direction and course quickly will help greatly.

Small animals like that are harder to hit than some stupid Iraqis carrying a bag of IED materials. Squirrel hunting with a .22 is fun as fuck.
