PedroAsani's Survival Plan - Part 1: Bugging In
(Time to completion: TBD)
Current residence: Manchester.
I expect to be here for: one month.
My stockpile is: minimal.
Time to purchase permanent location: Three months.
Once a purchase is secured, I will document the alterations needed to make it a disaster-resistant dwelling.
Items/Skills needed:
Titanium crowbar (doubles as diving gear)
Rope (for escape from one of the balconies on either side of apartment)
Survival clothes (Two pairs tough jeans, two non-cotton T-shirts, one non-cotton long sleeve T-shirt. Four pairs socks, underwear.)
Leatherman multi-tool
Large Maglite
Small Maglite
Water canteen
Sleeping bag rated for British winter
Tree tent, rated as above
CB radio
BOB
Items/Skills:
*Dive knife (smooth and serrated with line cutter, attaches to leg)
*Dive torch (durable, with lanyard)
*Hammers
Advanced Medical Kit
*Big axe
Food, water
Boots
Winter jacket
Once assembled, the BOB will travel with me in my car, and be brought into the house at night. All items will be packed, except for the ones marked with a star. They will stay at the house unless needed.
If the outbreak is local but contained (Class 1 or 2), I will be hunkering down and waiting it out. An advantage of living in this area is that geography would contain the spread, but not hinder an organised response. For Class 3 local outbreaks, I would again be waiting out the situation, but only for 5 days, which I assume would be long enough to let the chaos subside and give me a clear run to the airfield.
I have a basic toolkit, allowing me to board up and barricade the doors if necessary. Communication with friends and family will be done by any means possible. I have considered several locations for friends and family to head to around the world. Most however are residential properties, so they will have to be fortified by those who take refuge. The owners are the first on my call list, and I know the mentality of them enough that they can be trusted to Bug In as well as possible.
If a Class 1, 2 or 3 outbreak is reported in the UK, head to Part 2. If a Class 4 looks imminent, assess whether the UK will be isolated enough, or BOL is safer.

Go pick up a baseball bat, and find a wooden 2x4, or 4x4. Now, hit the 4x4 with the bat. Repeat 15 times.
Elbow hurt? Muscles tired? Bat bent or broken? Now go pick up a crowbar and do the same. Crowbars are heavy, and you have the chance to hit yourself if you miss the swing. I would suggest a .22 revolver or compact/collapsible rifle. M1 Carbine or Browning Grade 1 semi .22 are both great choices. Also, for ammo for the .22, pistol or rifle, get Winchester .22 shotshells. Much less penetration, so you wont hit anything behind it, but it WILL bounce around the skull. Much less noise than a 9mm too. (I understand UK/Europe laws are much stricter than US about firearms. Having a BOB with a firearm might be harder in Europe?) And of course, I always suggest the Kukri :) Random Comments:I like the idea for a dive knife. You will just need a small maglite. Have replacement batteries. Buy some US Mil MRE's off of ebay. about 15-17 dollars (including regular, not interational shipping,) per 6 MRE's. Or, you can get Shure-Pak MRE's, civilian, and cost more, but easier to get internationally. Get an aluminium mess kit. Looks something like: http://outersports.com/aluminum-mess-kit-p-888.html?currency=USD Remember to get dynamic rope. DO NOT GET STATIC ROPE! You will also need a harness, or you can make a swiss seat WITH STATIC ROPE! youll need 15 feet of it. Really good and easy skill, google it. (Might I join you, if you get your massive defense castle up? I can offer quite a few guns, and actually am a good shot. Your plan is amazing.)
