It's 3 hours without shelter. That's basically how long it takes to be debilitated in cold/rainy or hot/humid weather. If it's sunny and 75* you can go a lot longer but I've lived in the hot and lived in the cold and you will be smoked in no time without shelter from the elements. D dpm no, it's about how long the average person can survive without food. They are less strong, more tired, and starting to eat their own muscled at that point. Watch some Alone or similar, and you'll see people going a month with almost no intake.
a pound of fat has ~3500 calories, and that's about 3 days worth of "doing nothing but laying down staying alive" energy. I would venture to guess many of us have more than 10 spare pounds on us at all times.
A little late to the thread but here goes.
Sounds like you have the most expensive part out of the way and you are positioned very nicely!
I have a checklist I have developed over the past 10 years or so, and if you PM me, I will gladly send it to you, no problem. But, the real value is not just collecting stuff. That is actually very easy (if you have the money). The real key is mindset networking and practice.

TL;DR- You need **** to survive a conflict. Conflict is coming. ( Next ) In 2020, I wrote the books Concrete Jungle and Prairie Fire . Concrete Jungle was a survival guide for city dwellers, which I was very fortunately able to publish the first week of the riots of that June. How was that...

He wrote a couple of books (Concrete Jungle and Prarie Fire) that outline what to do and how to prepare if the SHTF. He is an expert in the field, and I like his approach a lot.
After reading those, you will likely find some areas for improvement, and the rest is just a journey.

Mike Glover and his team are excellent and he has a similar background to Clay.
The one thread you will see mentioned and stressed from both of them is community and networking. You cannot do it alone, even guys with their resume's.
Community/Networking:
Try this - https://www.americancontingency.com/
This is an online community designed to build networks and relationships. It is not radical and not a militia (despite what the feds tried to say). I have been a member since the start and there is none of the garbage associated with the preparedness community. Just good people (actually vetted) and an exchange of knowledge and mutual aid.
Good luck on your preparedness journey!

Dude thank you so much.
I highly recommend learning homesteads gardening. I’m building a raised bed garden this year and learning how to garden. I would also look into solar power kits to power your home. If you don’t know how to cut down trees for fire wood I highly recommend it. Since you got land you can get some chickens and goats. Goats are used for milk.also if you’re not that good with firearms it might be best if you learned.
I am in a HOA...cant have chickens or pigs...its a bougie horse community unfortunately. I am planning on buying raise, horse troughs from tractor supply to start a garden. I have a nice spot on the side of my house. I am also looking into solar. Its $30,000 for a tesla wall unfortunately...two battery packs are enough to power a house.
Oh that sucks!!! Yea dude there are other options other than the Tesla wall but hoa doesn’t allow solar panels then that might be the way to go. Im looking into land up north. Chickens and goats are easy to tend too and can help with being self-sufficient
We just bought us a nice house on 8 acres in the country. It's funny you mention this because chickens and goats are in the plans for the next month. Already making preparations. Fun fact, around the world more people drink goat milk than they do cow milk.
Now just think about the ones too paranoid to go on the show and what they have. The folks have on the show are the careless ones.
