also my best weapons would be handheld ones since im only 16 and cant own a gun- especially in Maryland, which is super liberal

well guns ARE handheld

but like hand to hand combat

I see. I can't own guns either x]

XP

I like me a good knife though

haha

I've got a machete, a bowie, and 3 pocket knives

They're all pretty handy

i wish there was a good way to transport guinea pigs- i have one and id never leave him behind

Yeah idk about that 😂 I'm no animal expert.

oof

I mean you could place it in a ball or something and pack it in your backpack

Like a guinea pig ball

Idk I've never even seen a guinea pig irl

maybe! id have to make sure he'd get air and didnt defecate on my stuff tho

Yea

this is him- his name is Fido

Ah

Very nice

haha yeah

Yeah idk how I'd go about carrying a pet in a shtf scenario

Maybe I could roll him up in like a towel and carry him under my arm

Perhaps

also aren't life straws pretty important?

Yeah they can be. I don't own any but they're more convenient than having to boil water

They can be pricey too

How pricey?

My dad has a decent job so we have a little extra cash

Well for me it's pricey. They're around $35 or so

Oh! that's probably fine then

I'm gonna ask my parents about doing some prep shopping

i screenshotted your list too

Wait scratch that apparently they're $20 and the life straw bottles are $35 or so

Ah

So depends on what you're going for

I just want to be prepared in case of riots

my dad has a gun but he's only one man

My mom would probably strike fear into the hearts of any rioter- shes fiesty as all hell

😂 good
