Learn how to grow and cure your own tobacco as the value will absolutely skyrocket when shit hits the fan. Another thing is when properly stored it can be aged for improved flavour and stockpiled, so the expiration date is very long.

It's insanely easy to grow and for a personal supply you need almost no land at all like 300 sq ft or 30 square meters.

You might not think it but it can be easily grown even in the north of Sweden, it's an extremely hardy plant if you get the a locally adapted variety from any grower who has been growing on your latitude with a similar climate.

Of course you can also make insecticide by soaking the leaves in water, this may be necessary if a total collapse happens and pests go rampant.

Thank you for actually answering the question.

It's not that expensive and the thing is you don't need coverage, you need to cover your vitals. Front plate should be 3 inches below the top of your sternum. Get medical kit and know how to use it. Tourniquets, gauze, basic stop the bleed stuff.

I wouldn't discourage people from armor but everything has a time and place. If youre entrenched holding a position, great. The opening days of conflict we are moving hard and fast, striking soft targets in hit and run tactics that we outnumber them at least 3 to 1 and blending back into the population.

That said. Ceramic is more expensive but steel is cheaper and it won't break. Ceramic has a shelf life and it can shatter if dropped.

What's going to be far more effective is going to the thrift store and getting a shoulder bag that can conceal a pdw type weapon and or a shit ton of magazines. If you listen to people who've been in fights they always want more mags. Around 13 is a good number. The high speed guys with just 3 up front are stacked 30 deep and have a metric ton of support behind them.

Dude, body armor is way less expensive than it used to be.

Get one of these and you can fit soft 3a armor or some plates.

It can be concealable under a shirt and you can have a couple of AR mags on the side.

If you need to go more overt, you can wear the slick armor and put a chest rig over it. This also gives you the option for different setups.

You can have an AK, AR, SMG, etc setup and not have to buy different plate carriers.

Any name brand set with the NIJ rating you want should be fine. There are armor test videos on youtube if you want more assurance. Don't buy cheap chinese crap. $500 should be close to enough.

You should start with making it, there are youtube vids, search "DIY body armor"

I would rather have cheap armor for 10 of my friends and family than 1 real set for myself. If we had the money that it wasn't an issue we wouldn't be talking about it

I got solid metal plates, whatever those ar500 things are, thinking I'd like to be able to stop an ak47 round at a distance. After wearing them for 10 minutes I think I'd rather just have my guts blown out.
