Any advice for a complete novice
Hey, so I've just recently started getting into this stuff, seeing as how its looking more and more dangerous out here lately. Im mainly looking for gear advice as Ive already started on a good cardio plan and general health stuff outside of medical, but any, and I mean any, advice would be appreciated. Im broke asf so its going to take a while for me to get fully stocked but here are my main questions :
What should I start with? Im thinking water collection, seeing as how thats the biggest necessity, but I obviously don't know for sure.
What kind of firearm or firearms should I get for just protection. I aint gonna be out here fighting nobody if I can help it.
I think I get the gist of most of the things like get home bag, but an explanation on most others would be helpful.
What are some simple self/home defense ideas that wont get the city called on me that I can set up before hand?
How would I know if something is quality before I buy? For example, sleeping bags, regular bags, flashlights, etc. Im broke so I obviously dont have a lot to be spending, but id rather have quality than quantity if I can help it, but I dont know if thats the right idea.
The final question, I really dont know anything, like at all, I've never thought about this outside of I want a gas mask (especially considering the viruses going around and gasses the police are using.) and a gun to protect myself and mine. What questions should I be asking to become more prepared?
