SHTF Happens and you are at Work, School, or the Mall
Ideally using your preplanned route(s) and get home bag you will immediately start home. If the car park is a mess or the car will not work immediately abandon it after getting the supplies.
If it is a chemical or nuclear SHTF you might need to shelter in place. Know where the washrooms are especially those deep in the building and infrequently used. Go to the nearest couple of recycling bins, open them, and carry the trash bags loaded with cans and bottles to the washroom (preferably one on a lower level). Dump them out and start filling them with tap water. Don’t bother cleaning them out. Store it in a cubical, lock it, and climb out. At this point try to buy food as you head for the car but do not if it will take time. At the car grab everything useful and back to the washroom.
Consider breaking all the lights in your washroom after securing the water and jamming the door. Consider breaking all the lights in the corridor outside and pulling stuff into it.
Looting supplies is reasonable once people have gone and Security has left. Before then the chances of getting into trouble makes it not worth the risk. Most fast food places have the food (such as it is) in the back. Mall, workplace, and School offices have lockers and many will have something to eat inside if you take your time looking through them.
In a sudden SHTF it is more than likely you can use your small crow bar from your get home bag to access the vending machines the next day. You are going to be sitting in dark for at least a week but I’d try to do this for four weeks. Then you go home.
Do you have any other tips to follow when SHTF? Let us know in the comments below!

Scratch my head for first thirty minutes, then take me 10 minutes stretch my back out and si.10 minutes drink coffee n maybe a smoke.then scratch my head some more.
First clean the fan.
No way. First and foremost. Find out if the shtf is localized or city wide or nation wide. If it really is shtf use your head. Get to your bug out location asap at almost any cost. If it will take longer than a day. Prepare for the trip. But certainly do NOT barricade yourself in a washroom for days or weeks. That’s lunacy. This arrival is very dangerous guidance. Come on people. Plan your shtf and work the plan. Plain and simple. Don’t follow stupid guidance like this arrival states.
if the phone is off and cars wont start going to the bank then shopping. If phone is working and cars are running, still going to the bank and going shopping.
If at work. Get home. If at home, load guns.
They aren’t loaded already?
Right all mine are pulls extra mags
I keep a couple loaded mags for just in case. But if Shtf I would have plenty more to stuff full
why worry
Get my generator out and make coffee lol
Go dark. Once the initial panic wave of people fleeing settles down, id scope out the situation. Go from there
Im keeping my$#%&!@*in the country when it hits the fan. I have food, water, shelter and everything thing else i need.
Find a safe place, to be
That’s when the snowflakes all freak and start yelling for government help. FEMA camps would be too damn good for them
Wait
Depends on disaster, can go from hunker down and wait to lock and load and find a defendable structure
LOAD ALL YOUR MAGAZINES
SET BACK AND LAUGH AT EVERYONE GOING CRAZY,,IF THE LORD SAYS IT MY TIME TO DIE,THERES NOTHING GOING TO STOP THAT.
Sit back and watch the$#%&!@*show… I’m not in charge…
Yeah, get stuck in traffic. You’d make better time on a bicycle, or walking, stash and old junker miles down the road at some friends house.
Collect more food and water, locally, then come back home. There aint no getting out of this city
Bend over and kiss your$#%&!@*goodbye.
Who cares. Once nuclear powerplants lose their employees and start to meltdown across the globe the levels of radioactivity won’t be safe.
Amen, brother…
Load all the mags you got and then be prepared ro defend what you got to survive.
I’m staying home … pump handle water out of the ground … hunting … fishing … everything I need within 5 miles of home.
If its a nuclear attack get the old lady go out having fun.
Same here
Hey im just wondering could you wait out a month or 2? In that your looking at having about 90 gallons of potable water per person. And about 120 legit meals per person in storage.. I’m not there yet and i dont need to be worried about water
Yes
I have old people in my neighborhood. I’d probably make sure they are okay and invite them over if not.
Upon seeing the bright flash of nuclear detonation, calmly bend over and kiss your a– goodbye!
Get off the dang road. The road is a death trap.
