Advice?
So I've been reading all these blogs that talk about preparing for "it", so to speak. They all talk about gardening and keeping supplies and such, but what about for the college kid in a dorm/apartment? I don't know the rules on keeping guns on campus.. but something tells me they involve quite a few loopholes. I know all the basics about credit cards and the "survivalist" tecniques if anything were to go wrong, but I'm quite a-ways from home, and it would be nice to have some fall back. I've already planned the bag that will remain in my car, but what else would I need to do to "prep", for lack of a better term?

STUDY amateur radio, get licensed, buy a reasonably priced (dual band) handheld HAM radio. (walkie talkie)....learn how to use it. If something happens and the communications newtork, as we know it fails, help is still out there over the radio. Get your family to do the same. Just one thing you can do.
ReplyDeletePlan for a place near campus such as a relative or friends house that you can go and make sure your parents know where you will try to be so you can meet up. The radio is an excellent idea. Being a parent myself it would be hard to concentrate on surviving if I was worrying about a child that wasn't home. I would be very very tempted to try to get to him/her and that could lead to missing them if they were trying to get home. Also always keep your car full of gas. So often there is no place to get it in an emergency. Extra water and food bars of some kind to get you there.
ReplyDeleteIf you cannot keep a firearm on campus find a safe and very secure location off campus and stash supplies and the gun there...and agree on some form of radio.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, I hadn't thought about the radio and I will start looking for one to take with me. I had forgotten about the full tank of gas as well. Thank y'all! :)
