Ain't nobody going to be a team when they trying to take care of their own people.

their own people is their team!

In a time of crisis that's when your friends turn on you.

Crow or blackbirds?

Crows. My mom cooked it for us, but she wouldn't eat it, lol.

Exactly. Unless you’re part of a militia, of course.

I'd say that family doesnt turn on you...but there was that whole civil war thing, The Brothers War.

Civilians against the government is what I think of when I hear the term. Others think left vs right. Some think racial divide. Let’s hope we never have to witness anything of the sort on US soil.

You need new friends.

guns and ammo, yes - but you also need a team.

At the risk of repeating myself.. ..Define a.... NATIONAL EMERGENCY..
Like multiple nuclear strikes on the USA ..or maybe Yellowstone Erupting..or a solar flare the shuts down the entire electrical grid across the country...etc....

Every other event , hurricanes , tornado's, earthquakes, seems to be local or regional...
Some people today seem to think shutting down TicTok constitutes a national emergency...or TRUMP getting re-elected


Prepare accordingly

What’s the most essential gear/supplies to have during a national emergency?

Water, medicine, shelter, food, communication, hope

 

[Trailboss]

Common sense and a calm head

Well thought out preparations for utility and food supply interruptions

Flexible plans in mind for possible scenarios

Situational awareness and some means of gathering/updating information

22 Rifle with lots of ammo. Essential for food. Everything becomes food if it gets bad enough. Plus I am cajun and can make a crow taste good.

Pigeon taste just like dove. Just slap a little cream cheese and jalapeño over the breast and wrap it in bacon. Most probably wouldn’t know the difference. I sure didn’t until after the fact.
Nutria burgers is another good one that comes to mind. Never would have thought it was edible but I have a Cajun uncle who made it taste delicious.

I second having a good 22 on hand with lots of ammo on hand. Having a few surely wouldn’t hurt to help increase the odds amongst the family if needed.

Don’t matter to Boudreaux. He’ll make um bofth taste real good.

Where do we sign up for the southern Louisiana chapter? lol

I would also add mobility to that list. With the last few hurricanes that hit New Orleans area, I’ve gone without power on average 4-5 days. One hurricane it was two weeks. Yes food and water are first on any emergency list but the availability to pack up those supplies if needed to leave the area I’ve found to be critically important too. Is it recommended to leave for all emergency situations, no. But it’s good to have the option available if needed.

This is also why I train a lot with my bullpup X95, 12.5 AR pistol, and my PCC. it’s Something that can move easily in and out of suv/truck. I also review defensive driving with my family.

You’ll laugh but I also have a short range drone to help scout an area or check my area around me. Worked last storm but I might upgrade to drone with a thermal camera.
