Long term storage. Yet fast storage? Can this be accomplished?

Many of us likely have more firearms than we can carry. In a WROL situation how can we best secure these items before linkup. I can see the agony of having to do a hasty demill with cad weld. Issuing them to neighbors could be an option IF you know their character well enough to hand them a firearm in the chaos.

Likewise we all probably have an abundance of TA-50. Gone are the days of being able to leave everything but your Line Item gear. Reloading equipment, comms equipment, Medical equipment, food water SIP stuff. Supporting logistics of just those first two items alone is another 200 plus pounds of stuff.

Many of us have collected a supply depot worth of stuff. Sadly, much of it will have to be left behind. The question I present is what plans can be made to secure and disburse these items in the event that operations are going to require you to move your family out of the AO before the commencement of operations.

A neighborhood plan whereas you stand your ground seems a most beneficial plan. Yet let us look at some neighborhoods. If it were a divisive neighborhood then most assuredly some fighting would take place. The better trained more cohesive teams will prevail. Identification of allies Most important. Second is what mechanism for Identification? Something passive and innocuous that does not scream alliance an article of clothing, the color of boot, and or shoe laces. The color of a belt. The safety pin.

Overlapping A.O.’s this could be a potential problem. I digress .

Equipment left behind in serviceable condition may be used against you hence the dilemma of standing depots. Best solution to date was an auxiliary stay behind cadre that continue the air of normalcy as best as they could while preventing equipment theft.

This in turn requires additional personnel with additional training that is different from the training of the “Kinetic Action” forces.


Will a person even have time to E&E the family unit?

Attended a conference this summer that discussed this. Then and now no solid answers seem available.
