Some best described as a delirious carrot with a wig is currently threatening to take land from a country that is stong allies with the country I am from.

How do I prepare for this?

I mean, I have water for a few days, I have a radio, some food and a blanket.

But where do I leave my savings? This war is going to crash the economy.

I think I have items to survive one week, but what will I need for the longer term? I think there will be problems with oil and gas, so little driving and heating and electricity, how can I cope for years on end in my small apartment?

If we actually do get invaded ourselves at some point, how and where do I join the resistance?

What documents should I burn, which ones should I keep in a safe location?

I expect a big part of the war to be about cyberattacks, how do I prepare for those? Do I remove my pressence from the internet? What are good ways to find real information?

Anything else I am missing?

    Years?!

    Be realistic, plan for weeks.

    This guy (Brass Facts) knows what he’s talking about and did a video specifically on apartment prep:

    Although it’s geared for Americans.

    But for the most part, you just want to accumulate necessities that won’t go bad, so that when shit is bad, you can just stay home. Especially for your position where your country isn’t the aggressor, and not even the defender…

    Like:

    take land from a country that is stong allies with the country I am from.

    Isn’t going to directly effect you much, and I have zero clue why you’re talking about “joining the retistances” when for you the much more obvious plan would be “look into how to short notice join the military”.

    Nothing you, or 200 like minded civilians can do would contribute as much as joining your military when war breaks out, or earlier.

      I indeed understand I won’t be able to stockpile food and water to hold out for years. I am wondering though what kinds of good I can stockpile that will become very “valuable” once war does come. I mean valuable in the sense that it brings me a lot of value to have, I do not want to get rich because of a war where people are dying.

      I am thinking of ways of communication where I don’t rely on a functioning government for instance (it is cheap to buy a radio now, compared to when a government blocks incoming goods).

      Water filters might be good as well indeed, they last forever and will bring a lot of value when there is no water coming from my tap.

      What else?
