So I posted this in a Fallout discussion thread, but then I realised that was a bad place to put it, so I came here instead.
I am a doomsday prepper, which means I prep for scenarios.
I saw a thread here about Russia's annexation of Ukraine, that is a scenario, and that could have got a whole lot more messy. Its still messy now, with western special forces there. Since this unstable situation concerns you I thought I could try to help as best I could.
To prep, you will need stuff like this:
You might think a global catastrophe is unlikely, but you would be surprised.
Go analyse some scenarios.
I'll give examples:
Now I am not saying a knife and a kit will help you if a asteroid immolates the planet, but in other scenarios it could save your life.
Prepare, because you never know
Don't listen to idiots who believe in zombies.
Its not feasible.
Literally nobody in the prepper community is stupid enough to believe in zombies, and its ridiculous, given how deteriorated there bodies are, and what a bullet or even a knife could do. And why would they eat you? I dunno, its a bullshit story.
PS: if you are going to be rude and tell me I am wasting my time and money and I am stupid,or have power fantasies, don't bother. I just want to help, because I am passionate about this kind of stuff, and I am not trying to troll/spam, so dont abuse me.

To prep, you will need stuff like this:
- Iodine tablets, water purification
- Food, I try to make sure we have canned un perishable food like rice and beans.
- A survival knife,a multi tool/ jackknife.
- A survival kit, including a fire starting kit, 30 feet of cordage,a tent
- Just follow the five c's: cutting tools: cutting tools, cover elements, combustion devices, containers, and cordages.
- If you are thinking of buying a knife make sure you look at knife laws.
- A stereotype is the dumb American with six guns and a container underground. many cannot afford this, and live in a place which has tight gun laws. Guns arent really required, as long as you have bushcraft (wilderness) skills.
- I am buying walkie talkies in case of an EMP blast, which could destroy communications.
- Hunting skills are also very useful, to find food
You might think a global catastrophe is unlikely, but you would be surprised.
Go analyse some scenarios.
I'll give examples:
- If Britain leaves the EU then there could be a debilitating trade war, leading to riots
- Communist China is becoming more aggressive, building bases and islands
- Russia is aggressively strafing American aircraft carriers and pursuing a hawkish foreign policy. They are also flying bombers over British cities.
- If a protectionist wins the US elections (sanders/trump) there will be could be a disastrous spate of trade wars between the US, China and Mexico.
- Natural disasters: Yellowstone blowing, earthquakes, volcanoes, asteroids, floods, tsunamis.
- Domestic terrorism: ISIS, Al Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood Etcetera
- Government tyranny, revolution
- Nuclear war, of course
- Economic Collapse, leading to rioting, huge unemployment, poverty and more
- A collapse of Deutsch Bank, and if that goes under, it will be Lehman Brothers on steroids. Its stock crashed 10%, and it had to defend it liquidity, implying 70 billion derivatives may be on the verge of collapse.
- Pandemic disease could kill up to and way over 600 million people. Because half of Homo sapiens lives in cities — plus, we have airline travel, so we can ship the pandemic disease around the globe in less than 24 hours. If the disease is virulent enough, humanity could be wiped out in a matter of months.
- A bolide is a really large chunk of matter from space, often on fire, that can form a large crater when it smashes into a planet. One possibility is that the planet will be wrapped in fire, burning everyone who isn't deep underwater or underground. Another is that debris from the impact will cloak the planet in dark clouds, cutting off the sun and killing all plant life.
- Climate Change: Right now, it's changing fast, and that means storm patterns are getting more intense, rainfall is coming erratically, and some areas are suffering major droughts. Though you'd think the scariest part of climate change would be superstorms, the real damage is long-term.
- Invasive species: Sometimes transplanted organisms become invasive species. With no natural predators, they take over every last habitat, eating everything in their paths — or covering everything in a thick blanket of vines. Cue the food riots and famine and long, slow death of the Human Race.
- Electromagnetic Pulse Blasts can destroy communications and computing
- Black Swan: a sudden improbable event. We might discover plate tectonics is moving a bit faster than we thought.
Now I am not saying a knife and a kit will help you if a asteroid immolates the planet, but in other scenarios it could save your life.
