Not surprisingly, theres an ALICE pack hdden in the ceiling tiles above the shop with all my gear in case the apocalypse happens while I'm away from home. Contents are, but not limited to: web gear, spare magazines, ammo, sleeping bag, three days of MRE's, water, knife, flashlight, two smoke grenades, two flares, first aid gear, boltcutters, and a few other small items. (No guns included since I always have one pistol on me and theres an AR-15 in the closet.)
Why the smoke and flares? I may have a weird view on this. Here's my off-the-cuff thought: anyone as prepared as you are is unlikely to need help from others, because those others were less prepared. Advertising your position just tells any potential freeloaders where you are, and is thus a waste of ammo. What am I missing?
In a true end-of-the-world scenario I wouldnt remain here or at Casa Juan. All my gear is packaged in such a manner that it can be quickly loaded into the back of a truck.
I keep some gear at the shop so that I'll have everything I need to get to my house from here. The immediate (first three or so) days of any crisis will still be fairly calm. The angry, rampaging, looting hordes wont be for another few days until Joe Average realizes his pantry is empty and his truck is out of gas. By then I'll either have relocated or will have strength of numbers.
But, no, I'm not terribly worried. I've a host of other preps and gear that no one knows about.
Smoke is, to me, fairly obvious...toss one in the back of the truck as youre speeding away to make pursuit difficult. Flares for letting the friendlies know where Im at.
