All I know is that, those people who can fight and use their brains strategically have the best chances of survival.

Our own communities simple mindedness makes us look like we are out of our depth on the global political scene. Thankfully we still a small number of some hardcore dudes that would fight hard if it came to it. Sadly they are mostly monay, drinking types.

I'm being very serious and I'm not trying to lighten the mood or anything, but playing Metal Gear Solid 3 for the past few days and the themes of nuclear war, war in general, duty, friendship, love, etc., are all issues that have been on my mind.

Ultimately there is nothing we can do to affect change on an international scale. I guess the best thing to do is prepare yourself physically, mentally and spiritually for the worst but don't mope around thinking its the end. If you feel an affinity for Sikhi then Gurbani will always be your first port of call.

No need to live a totally paranoid life, but good to have an idea of reality if/when your country goes to pot:

This is a great example of short term emergency (1 year) and what the realities were. There are more important things to consider than having gold bars... First aid training, basic medical supplies, water purification, being armed correctly, fire making capability, a real currency for trading i.e. Much needed supplies, sanitation, ability to increase numbers in a short time etc etc. For a longer term emergency people need to realise that things would be different i.e. Fuel, Ammunition, medicals, food etc would run out, so one should have knowledge of how to create and fight with improvised weapons, how to find and prepare food and water safely, knowledge of local fauna for medicine/sterile supply etc. An important aspect that gets missed by survivalists is psychology. We are blessed to have a spiritual culture, and should learn and be able to benefit from it in such a dire scenario. In terms of maintaining chardi kalaa, daya, bibek budhi (telling friend from foe) and not turning into base animals like many people do. This is just a quick post, there are many more aspects to consider, esp protection of women, children, elders... Knowing what and how much to stockpile pile etc, I hope to write a comprehensive article on this subject in the near future, but here are a few references to get you thinking about the scenarios etc:

A few decent sites looking at skills, equipment and most importantly knowledge needed for these situations.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
