I think all of you guys should read this and take it to heart. This guy known as "FerFal" has put a considerable amount of time documenting his experiences in a true SHTF scenario - when his country's economy collapsed.
I thought every SHTF forum had seen this but apparently not. I can't find any reference to it in our archives. This should be a "sticky" thread in my opinion.
FerFal is from Argentina and watched his country go through the turmoil of watching his country deteriorate around him. In 2001, their stock market crashed and everything was chaos. He talks about the do's and dont's of survival in a violent, dangerous time in an otherwise civilized country.
It is worth the read... In fact it is some of the most valuable SHTF reading you can find.
A sample of his prelude to the equipment section....

GUNS, AMMO AND OTHER GEAR[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]After TSHTF in 2001, only the most narrow minded, brain washed, butterfly IQ level idiots believed that the police would protect them from the crime wave that followed the collapse of our economy.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A lot of people that could have been considered antigun before, ran to the gun shops, seeking advise on how to defend themselves and their families. They would buy a 38 revolver, a box of ammo, and leave it in the closet, probably believing that it would magically protect them from intruders.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Oh, maybe you don't think that firearms are really necessary or your beliefs do not allow you to buy a tool designed to kill people. So you probably ask yourself, is a gun really necessary when TSHTF? Will it truly make a difference?[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Having gone through a shtf scenario myself, total economical collapse in the year 2001, and still dealing with the consequences, 5 years later, I feel I can answer that question.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]YES, you need a gun, pepper spray, a machete, a battle axe, club with a rusty nail sticking out of it, or whatever weapon you can get hold of.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A LOT has been written on survival weapons. Everyone that is into armed survival has his or her own idea of the ideal gun battery. Some more oriented to a hunting point of view, others only as self defense means and others consider a little of both, and look for general purpose weapons.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Talking about guns, there is one special subject I want to rectify, and it's the point on what's the primary weapon for the survivalist, specially a urban survivalist that has to function in a society, yes, even after the SHTF.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]People, if you are interested in real world SHTF situation, and you want to prepared for the real deal, then understand that this isn't black or white.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]You wake up one day and listen on the radio that the economy collapsed and that the stock market closed indefinitely.[/FONT]
