With all the posts about Sh*T Hits The Fan, I was thinking it might be nice to know exactly what scenario we are all preparing for?

Nuclear Attack?

Local Riot?

Complete breakdown of law and order within the US?

Some asshole country actually invades the US?

That's my final answer...

So I guess SHTF is like Porn, you can't really define it, but you know it when you see it.

To me, a SHTF situation is when your obsession with assault rifles is finally justified.  When it becomes a necessary tool for survival during a civil crisis/breakdown.

SHTF...when Canada gets over-cocky and tries to invade the U.S. It will all be over in about 20 minutes. ...snicker...snicker.

The real SHTF is when somebody tries to steal my Johnny Cash CDs.  Nobody stickyfingers my redneck music and lives.

What is SHTF?

Kind of like camping.  Only louder.

Guess IT IS up for the individual. My SHTF scenario on a personal basis is, losing my job, my dwelling and being homeless. Or going to jail.
Now if you are talking about SHTF as in social breakdown. Something similar to Hurricane Andrew, the L.A. Riots, or the Northridge and S.F. quakes.

To me SHTF is some situation where law and order totally breaks down and my guns are necessary to protect me and my family.

I always thought that SHTF was when I was finished wipeing my backside  and I took the soiled toilet paper and I threw it into the celing fan,and it stuck to one of the fan blades. Then it spun off and stuck to the wall!!!! You mean I have been getting it wrong all of these years??????[shock].Anyway on a more serious note to me really SHTF is any situaiton that i will need to defend myself,family members,or somebody on the street..or flying toiltet paper.

Clearly all of these things would be considered SHTF.

Depending on which situation it is, I'd get my ass out of Urbania in different time frames.

For example:

Nuclear Attack - I'd be dead or severely burned by now, as Minnesota has a LOT of weapons R&D companies/facilities.  If not dead, I'd get the hell out of dodge if able to do so.  Then seek medical help.

Local Riot - Been there, done that.  Genetics conventions 1.5 years ago caused rioting in downtown Minneapolis right outside my 1st floor office window.  I witnessed police subduing (read beating) rioters who were ripping the shit out of our property & defacing nearby buildings.  I brought my BOB to work and in the office that week.  Also, cyanide cannisters were found in two downtown locations, placed there by these rioters.  AKA I'd stand my ground.

Complete breakdown - Get the Fuck out of dodge with my BOB as fast as possible.

Invasion - See above (breakdown), but once I got to my REAL home, I'd gather up a local militia squad & save the lives of these retreaded liberals here in Urbania.

Other situations to consider for SHTF:
Airliners smashing buildings
Electrical meltdown (read massive electricity failure for potentially 1 week)
Someone breaking into my apartment (can we say "Bump Fire anyone coming through my door?")
Social/Societal breakdown.
Endoctrination of draconian gunlaws by Californistani copycat legislators (Read I'd leave the state & live in TX, AZ, or AK)

SHTF: Any situation where neither the police stations or grocery stores are open for business for longer than 24-48hrs. Any situation where the sheeple start to panic.

It's an "end of the world as we know it"  fantasy that many people enjoy preparing for and secretly hope will happen, but will wish to hell it never happened if it ever comes to pass.

The definitive sign of the SHTF is the presence of spikey-haired mutant looters sodomizing people to death and eating them.  If that isn't happening, then the S has [b]NOT[/b] HTF, you are experienceing only a minor, temporary disturbance.
