damn ! Apartment situations ?

Remember that preparedness isn't really about the ending of society as we know it. As much as I love a good zombie flick, they're not the cause of my prepping.

What do you do if the power goes out for a few days? What if you're snowed in for a similar period of time? These are the types of situations that you should begin to prepare for. You can then begin to build from a week to a month to a year. Getting into longer periods of time though is going to cause issues with storage and transportation.

Bugging out, as fantastic as the idea can be, simply isn't reasonable for those of us without somewhere to actually go. Plan on staying with the ability to go mobile quickly and also figure out where you'd be going or it's going to be a rough time finding a camping spot.

Big time agree here.

Lots of folks actually seem to be looking forward to EMP attacks, complete breakdown of society, and running off into the woods to live off berries or something. Along with everyone else, those woods are going to be very crowded.

That isn't what you want to think about. Think about what actually happens. If you live on the coasts, prepare for hurricanes, floods, power outages, stuff like that. When I lived on the coast, we made sure to always have extra propane for the grill during hurricane season to cook with. That's above and beyond the normal 8+ hours a month we lost power.

Living here, what is likely? Blizzards, wild fires, drought. You're either going to be stuck in the apartment on your own for a while, or you'll have to evacuate to a shelter or a hotel. Think about those scenarios and what you want to do.
