Just wondering what are you preparing for? When was the last time there has been a war between USA and another country on the North American continent?

Agreed, modern missiles and bombs can destroy vast areas. However, knowing that the Chernobyl explosion put 400 times more radioactive material into the Earth's atmosphere than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, yet the Exclusion Zone is "only" 1.000 sq mi, 20 mi in diameter.

Further agreed, there's been bombs built over 3000 times the power of the Fat Man. How many of those would be needed to blow the entire planet into smithereens, ending all worrying?

And one further question: What kind of ammo would you stock to stop such bombs? Or are you planning to prepare for helping the enemy by killing your neighbours?

I'm sorry, my sources don't tell about any invasion on the mainland US for that year. Where? By which country?

There's a deep contrast between the preparations and the way I've heard American people take care of their neighbours who have encountered some kind of a catastrophe. A Finn living over there used to be somewhat worried about how they would get along should something happen until she saw how the entire community  - instead of social security - took care of some unfortunate family at her neighbourhood. Where do you draw the line? When does someone in need of help become an enemy?

Ah but that wasn't the question you asked. ;)  You asked "When was the last time there has been a war between USA and another country on the North American continent?" In 1989 The U.S. invaded Panama.

When does someone in need of help become an enemy?

When they are many, and desperate, and you don't have enough to share. When those who did not prepare come to take from those who did.

Ahh, Panama. I count that into the Middle America, not North.

There's no such thing as a "Middle American" continent.  Central America including the Caribbean islands are part of the North American continent. "Cental America" is just a region.

I stand corrected. It indeed isn't a continent. Lost in translation...

Nevertheless, no invasion into the mainland of US in 1989 if I understand you correctly.

The esoteric cabal running the show from shadow  could be real, very well explained in the History documentaries bellow;

In case that's true, being prepared would only postpone the inevitable. Such a cabal would outperform any single individual no matter how well prepared against the have nots.

I just think we all should be prepared to some point . If it got bad over here I bet  the army would supply all the ammo and guns but mite not on food , maybe a little bread or something like that but that be at the point where we were starting to lose ..

I agree it just makes sense to have a supply of basic essentials on hand. Not only as insurance in the event of a war, but also for major natural disasters or societal breakdown.
We have 6 months food, water, and basic supplies stored. Most of it we use anyway and we replace stuff as we use the oldest. I also put in a shallow well with a hand pump to provide fresh water without electricity.
Also well supplied with weapons and ammo.

We have extra supplies to help out neighbors in need.
Fortunately we don't live anywhere near a large urban area, and most of the folks around here think ahead about these things.
You have to bear in mind that your survival preps can be taken away with one bullet.

None of this will matter if there is a major nuclear exchange between the big boys. I don't imagine many of us would be left after a year or two at the most.
One thing I worry about some is an EMP attack, or a cyberattack on our power infrastructure.
Read One Second After by Forstchen or Lights Out by Koppel.
Scary stuff, especially as it seems doable by the minor players.

A good idea to prepare to some extent. but you can make yourself crazy with it.

Preparing for any type of catastrophe by storing some food and water plus means of heating and lighting without electricity for a week or two is sane. In a civilized world things should normalize in that time.

Preparing for being the last man standing of the entire mankind... Well, it might get a little lonely towards the end.
