My favorite clip from the classic Red Dawn movie from 1984. The truck pulls into the store and the kids run in. They gather supplies they will need to survive before heading to the mountains in an effort to escape the Russians.
I’ve always thought about how I would want to be supplied ahead of time in case of an event such as this.

Welcome to A Survival Story. What follows is a fictional daily journal written by "Jed". Jed is a 39-year-old man who lives in the small city of Rock Hill, South Carolina. Jed recently started thinking about his life and the mistakes he has made. He has decided to start keeping a journal to organize his thoughts and try to understand not only where he has been but where his life is going. Jed begins this journal at a time in his life when he is considering whether he will ever meet "the one" and has just scheduled a trip to attend his 20-year high school reunion.
Jed is relatively physically fit as he has been working out with weights, takes martial arts, and rides his mountain bike periodically on some light trails. He would like to lose about 15-20 pounds but is not overly concerned about it. Jed is 5' 10" tall and 205 pounds with very short brown hair. Both his parents have passed and his younger brother Eric moved in with him a couple months ago. Jed has always felt the need to care for his brother since his parents are no longer around. He has been an active survivalist for the last several years - especially since 9/11. He has stocked up on a lot of supplies with an emphasis on the basics of "beans, bullets, and band-aids". The few people that know of Jed's concern for the future dismiss his "prepping" as a hobby and a fad. Jed takes it seriously, however, he is not fanatical about it and enjoys many of life's comforts like anyone else. Jed recently purchased a 2011 black Jeep Wrangler 4-door - a rare splurge for himself.
See how Jed and his community deal with multiple attacks across the United States. Here we begin....... a survival story.
Each book comes personally signed by the author.
 Scene – Getting Supplies Before Heading Into The Mountains){kind=link}
do not wait until something happens to get your supplies. get them NOW before it’s to late, and be ready. like JR said in previous articles, five cans a week will add up. I’ve always thought about it like having insurance.
they may not be available when a crisis hits, food and water, not to mention having to deal with the large crowds of scared, desperate people who waited until the last minute only to realize that they only had two days of food and water.– me, ill stay on the place for at least a month before venturing out, giving things time to calm down. i truly don’t need the outside world other than for our small community and conversation, that’s my plan.
take care all.
