With the recent politically-fueled violence that has been taking place in the US, many people are afraid of an outbreak of civil war. While that seems far-fetched right now, who’s to say that in a few years from now we may not find ourselves in a situation akin to the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s?
Many Americans have been preparing for the eventuality of conflict for some time, whether it’s stocking up on guns and ammo, stockpiling food, or storing water. But what happens if you’re forced out of your home, your bug out bag runs out of supplies, and you’re forced to fend for yourself?
It can be useful to scavenge in that kind of situation, looking for abandoned or cast-off goods that other people aren’t using. Sometimes you may come across useful things just by chance, other times you may have to go out looking for things you can use. Here are a few resources that can help you figure out where to look, and what to look out for.
