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.

During the 1950s, civil defense was a major concern of the United States government. In response, the government launched a nationwide civil defense program that included the building of nuclear fallout shelters, the stockpiling of food and medical supplies, the creation of evacuation plans, and the creation of a nationwide alert system. The federal government also worked to educate the public on how to react to a nuclear attack, including the basics of sheltering in place and responding to radiation.
Citizens across the nation under the threat of nuclear war had one thing on their mind......
Be ready.
This manual was developed by the Office of Civil Defense within the Department of Defense. According to the note inside the manual written by Robert S. McNamara, Secretary of Defense, the goal of the publication is to provide the American people with the facts they need to know about the dangers of a thermonuclear attack and what they can do to protect themselves. He goes on to say that "the factual information in this booklet has been verified by independent scientific authority."
The threat of nuclear conflict is ever present in these modern times. Since the 60's many more countries have developed nuclear weapons including North Korea, Pakistan, India - and likely Iran. While this guide was originally published over 6 decades ago - it remains valid and important today.
Whether you are a historian, a history buff, or simply interested in preparedness this guide is a great read and full of beneficial information.

 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.
