the past few days in venezuela have demonstrated a reasonable SHTF scenario that we might encounter in our lifetimes (extended power outages, food/water shortages, hyperinflation). what prepping lessons can we learn from this?

>Grow your own food (and chicken & fish)
>Keep something like a bat or machete in case of gangs/national guard/corrupt cop
>barter with neighbors
>burn your trash
>reuse, recycle

>Keep something like a bat or machete in case of gangs/national guard/corrupt cop
If by machete you mean battle rifle with AP ammo...

Don't live in a Latin American shithole where breaking the law and casual thievery are a way of live, and where a zero-trust ethic prevails wherein if you're not extended family, you're not a full fucking human being. Which would include broad swathes of whole cities and states by now.

Candles, many boxes of matches, many books (including two dictionaries) to read, avoid electric stoves at all costs, have a bike.

all the white countries will be like that soon though

>Grow your own food (and chicken & fish)
Not allowed in Socialist Venezuela

And nothing of value was lost.

nobody is going to fight an insurgency when nobody is prepared and your neighbors are as much your enemy as the zog

Are you ok? Looks like you have some shit in your face.

>what are they gonna do, send a soldier to shoot your chickens
yes. they wouldn't hesitate waste 10 billion dollars on men, weapons, supplies, logistics, vehicles, equipment, spying, subversive infiltration of local population, manhunt efforts, etc,. just to make sure you pick up that can or die in prison if you refuse

Im fine user, just enjoying this thread

This. The primary lesson should be, by the time it's gone full Venezuela, it's already too late.

Even if you're rich, if you didn't get out while you could (if you could), your money means nothing. If your nation was armed and politically active, things never would have gotten so bad, even if your community is, good luck fighting your entire nation.

As for skills to survive, learn to code Runescape gold farming bots. It is unironically how a lot of Venezuelans are getting by. Selling game money for USD. Learn Java.

Prepare for conflict. Make allies while you can with like minded individuals and families. Get chummy with local PD and military IF they "see" things correctly. Organization and Communication are more important than individual prepping. SHTF in the US means Civil War, not "bugging out" or even farming (though that will be important). The people of Venezuela lack the capability to fight for themselves.

but user guns are illegal and only criminals and the government have them in Venezuela

What do you think ranchers and fishermen do in Venezuela?

That pic makes me want to play Dishonored again for some reason

>What do you think ranchers and fishermen do in Venezuela?
How do you think socialist production works? Why did millions die of starvation during the Great Leap when there were no environmental factors that would have prevented them from growing enough food to feed everyone?

>keeping dictionaries and other books to read during shtf
this is a good idea. Since the children wont being going to school they can learn the thesaurus or history books.

The US might collapse like Venezuela, but we don't have to prep like we're in Venezuela.

Best lesson is keep socialist spics out of your neighborhood

That's what they said in Bosnia before all the rapes, murders, and snipers

And here we go again.

can you elaborate?

It's fantasy larp bullshit?

encyclopedia.com/food/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/food-weapon-war

>I saw it on the internet so it must be true.

That's what you sound like.

This year a tornado hit my area and it was enough for me to see how poorly prepared I was. Thinks I've learned:

I have a well, basically I have unlimited water if I can get the water out of the well. Therefore I need electric. I went and bought two generators this year and can power my home with them. They would be used for water.

Food, I had plenty of food.

Propane: I have a big propane tank for my stove. I have the ability to cook. I also keep several extra tanks

New chains for chainsaw. This is important. I couldn't start cutting up trees right away because I had to sit and sharpen the chains!

Gasoline! Rotate gas cans. Also a good siphon kit.

Can you fix a car? Do you have medical training? Guy with gun won't be as valuable as guy who can keep you from getting sick and dying.

Strength in numbers.

Bragging about your preps is cool when everything is going good but when shtf people will suddenly remember you have stuff they want.

You want some 3rd world shithole diseases because that is how you get them.

Have a relative in a better part of the world who you can move it with

it seems to me that all of the 'basic prep' ideas would be relevant

short-term might include 1-3 months of canned goods, using gravity water filters w/ 1-5gal capacity (Berkey makes good filters), sheltering in place, creating composting latrines, communicating and organizing & dividing any daily labor (outside of job) w/ friends, neighbors, family, and using whatever means to gather info on the situation at large
it goes without saying that personal protection (at least in the States) would include concealed carry at all times

long-term would potentially vary a great deal imo

Keep some non-perishable food and water around.
Keep a backup supply of any medications, and plenty of first aid supplies.
Keep some batteries for lights. Also lighters. Candles if you like them.
Paper towels and toilet paper. A lot.
A low-power radio so you know what the hell is going on.
If it gets hot, cold, and/or wet keep the appropriate supplies for that.
Toolbox, you can't call the handyman.
If you have space: a gas generator and fuel.
If you have tons of money: solar panels and batteries.

For a short-term disaster like in Venezuela that's pretty much it

Oh the fact that you aren't trolling is even more sad

hes a racist

It’s trendy now on Jow Forums to say it’s fake. Nobody has anything to back up the claim that it’s fake other than they saw someone else say it’s fake.
So it’s equally fake and true. Shroedingers LARP.

>forgot the C in Schroedinger

>can't refute the claim
>go grammar nazi

Don’t care virgin

Socialism. Not even once

That picture definitely didn't happen. Do you even know any Bosnians? Even anyone from the Balkans at all?

>implying I’m the user he was speaking to

what the fuck.
absolute proof they want you dependent on government

>KNOW HOW TO DISPOSE OF HUMAN WASTE
I consider myself reasonably prepped, but I'll admit this hadn't occurred to me at all. Good looking out, user.

>not familiar with DCV
are you ok retard?

I posted that because that Selco pic is a contentious load of crap. His claims have been debunked repeatedly, both in detail and in aggregate. There are a few anons like refuse to accept that he’s a fraud, regardless of how much proof you bring to the table. Every citation and source you provide doesn’t meet their standards for irrefutable proof, so Selco must be legit, right? There’s even one user who swore Selco was legit because he has a school and he teaches this stuff, and he wouldn’t be able to get a business license to run his school if he was making shit up.

If you read through the text in the pic, it’s all generic boilerplate that you’ll find on any prepper forum or site. The personal anecdotes are so vague that you get the distinct impression he’s retelling story fragments that he heard elsewhere. Oh, and the USAF never made airdrops to an enclave of the size he mentions, nor did they ever make drops at 10 day intervals.

Not the user you’re replying to. The claim has been repeatedly refuted, complete with cites and sources. Insisting it ain’t so doesn’t make it not so, it just makes you look like a shill.

Post them

apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a368790.pdf

Lists enclaves by size, and details periodicity of airdrops.

Don't you live in California?

>criminals and the government
superfluous sentence in a socialist country

There’s also the fact that there were (and still are) relatively few hospitals in the country. None are or were in areas matching the enclave matching the one described by Selco. Link related is the most comprehensive list of current hospitals in-country. Most of them were present for the war.

I appreciate you actually providing sources

>But user why do you have to much paint thin.."Squints"

ah, I see.
