that's a really important point i've been meaning to make on here, and have been trying to make to some people from church who are homesteaders and preppers:

start constructing defenses NOW! when the crap hits the fan the factories won't be making serpentine/razor/barbed wire anymore, so stock up while you can. a single perimeter fence around your compound isn't enough; you need to dig foxholes/rifle pits so you can shoot from cover, because you DO NOT want to fight from inside your house.

now some of you may be skeptical, but consider this: in the days of feudal europe, if a lord or king had to fight from inside his castle, the war was already lost.
