And if tomorrow the war? That the time to buy before the outbreak of hostilities

foreword

The first thing you need to understand about the war: your lifestyle change. Whoever you work - programmers, designers, copywriters, PR expert or a factory worker (there is such?) - the beginning of the hostilities will break everything. Place of work, residence, wardrobe to your menu and habits. And if no glazed cheese curds you live quite freely, the lack of suitable shoes in the winter will lead to dire consequences.

Let's just dot the i, to Internet experts, reading diagonally, smaller splashes of bile into the comments - it is still needed for the processing of burgers.

1. Even during the war, clothing shops and supermarkets continue to work, but the closer to the front lines, the higher prices, less variety and quality. Nobody bother with the supply of good things, and bringing in the most cheap and often poor quality shoes and clothes. For good in the majority simply do not have money.
2. With high probability, the start of the war, you lose your job. Therefore, to buy everything you need in advance is better, while spending for you is not so noticeable.

3. Period, while business and government are reconstructed on a war footing, usually stretched for at least six months. At this time, with an assortment of absolutely everything is bad.
4. Yes, you can go closer to civilization and buy what you need, but the movement from the war zone - it is extremely expensive and Finance, and on time. Hassle and all sorts of risks when crossing the checkpoints make 10 times to think whether it is necessary to you.
5. The war is sharp rise in prices and inflation in general. The fact that cost $ 100 yesterday, tomorrow morning will be sold at 300.

Necessary things

Medium size city backpack

I understand that many are accustomed to be content with a bag over his shoulder to carry a purse, tablet and mobile, but with the beginning of the war, all this will remain in the past. Does your ride somewhere implies very specific goal: to pick it up, things to buy medicine or food. Bag in this respect is much less practical and convenient.

Do not buy a travel backpack, normal city on 20-30 liters is more than enough.

Be sure to try on the backpack before you buy, make sure the straps are comfortable and have broad backing on his shoulders.

Try to choose a backpack without compartments for the laptop: it is highly unlikely that you will have an urgent need to carry laptop to travel, and with the protection of spetskarman only steal useful place. Two or three offices bilateral locks would be enough: in a small downloadable small things like keys, knife, bandages, hydrogen peroxide, handkerchiefs, toilet paper lantern, documents, notebook and pen remains for the main of things.

The abundance of pockets, too to anything - you spend more time at searches and inspections. Much more important is the strength of the material and its impermeability. Highly desirable catches backpack on his chest, which allows to run with much more comfort.

Suitcase on wheels

In the context of the termination of postal shipments is necessary to take out the right things at once (it is very expensive), as well as necessary. In this case, a backpack is not enough.

If you have a family - be sure to take a suitcase on wheels. Key points that you should pay attention:

• Quality plastic wheels. Rubber pads wear out on the road and the track is very, very fast.
• The presence of handles for carrying on both sides to be able to carry just the two of us.
• Large bottom and a maximum of 2-3 small office. You still forced to throw out all the things during searches.
• Good bilateral locks on each branch.
• Rigid suitcase design.

Lugging a suitcase with broken wheels or trying to undo the jammed locks at gunpoint or thousands queue in the pouring rain - not a pleasant occupation. Do not skimp on this purchase. Avoid bright colors and attracts the attention of designs. The simpler, the better.

Cases, Covers and purses

In the first months of the outbreak of war and periods of exacerbation documents on the streets can be checked on more than 10 times a day. More worse for those who often travels on roads with checkpoints. No one cares what difficulties you encounter when the passport is replaced, so the documents are more like puttee: izmochaleny, fall apart and have an extremely poor condition.

Good cover - your passport life, though not a guarantee.

Try not to take bright, very cheap, and with various kinds of symbols cover. Simple, low-key, preferably a different color for each family member. Always make sure that the covers do not fade and do not leave stains after wetting. To wrap the insurance documents before traveling to a file or package.

Similar story with the purse (forget about fashion mikrokoshelochki into which climbs a couple of credit cards and banknotes) case for the phone or a spectacle case. All that can protect against falls, water and shocks - Protect. Sooner or later, you have no time to get wet in the rain, fall to the ground during a fire or knock in the crowd at the checkpoints.

Bike

Not giroskuter not elektrosamokat hipster and other fetishes. A simple, the most common, with available spare parts bike. Do not bother with the expensive models with the 20-speed and ultra-light frame. Do not skimp on the rubber and the camera. The rest is secondary. It's just a way to get from point A to point B without public transport, which will go into limited mode and bad. Sure to consider how best protect the bike against theft. Two-wheeled friends stolen more often than cars, especially in small towns.

Knife or multitool

No huge cutlasses with stops and vykiduh. Simple folding knife with a minimum number of functions, but from good steel and non-slip grip. By and large, you may only need a knife and a tin opener. If the budget allows, you can look towards the multitool. But even there, you need an extremely minimalist versions of the knife, pliers and bottle openers. Keep it in a backpack among the rest of the small things, and then it will not cause problems during inspections.

Lamp

Absolutely indispensable thing, especially in the absence of regular electricity. Ideally two. A worn, small, but quite bright and energy-intensive to illuminate the road for an hour. Better battery-powered - always carry a spare. And great home lights on the battery with the ability to be recharged from the mains.

In both embodiments, it should be possible to put it on the end (flat bottom) at the ceiling light beam to illuminate the entire room, and a mount for several Lanyard brightness modes.

Clock

Climb over the phone to know the time in the rain or cold - not the best solution. And although the war teaches you patience, time ceases to be a resource that is under your control. Late for a train, a bus or a meeting becomes a luxury peacetime. You can use any shockproof and waterproof watch with light and alarm.

medicine chest

I would not advise you to stock up on a lot of medication, especially if there is no clear understanding of what can be used after the expiration date. But make sure you have 3-4 packs of bandages, cotton wool, hydrogen peroxide, iodine or Zelenka, analgin, aspirin, paracetamol, activated carbon, a thermometer, ammonia and ethanol.

Bint peroxide and put in a backpack, even if they are constantly with you.

In principle, in the midst of fighting a little sick. If the body is mobilized, and to catch a cold or another illness if you strongly not try hard. Reckoning occurs during periods of relaxation and truces. Then the health of the people crumbles like a house of cards.

A warm jacket or a jacket

Emphasis on winter clothes not made just so. In peacetime, any movement of my winter was reduced to the necessity of a 10 minute walk to public transport or get into a cab. If you would like to walk in the winter, I knew that at any moment can go to a cafe or shop and get warm. In the distant past, the peace I wore a cashmere coat, trousers and patent leather shoes, and I, like many, was quite comfortable.

In a situation where you have to spend on the road from 4 to 48 hours with a high probability of long pedestrian crossings, or spending the night in the open field, taste in clothes and a whole wardrobe overall demand rethinking. Hurt in the absence of heat, medicines and doctors - is quite dangerous for the health activity.

When choosing a jacket, be sure to bring along a warm sweater and tried on him. You must not be crowded.

If the required size is not - feel free to give preference to a little more. It's better to keep heat and wicks away moisture.

Good lightning, large warmed hood, roomy pockets with flaps (preferably in Velcro), internal pockets (zip) to your phone, money and documents - all this should be in your jacket. Add to that the high collar with soft lining (to hide his face from the wind), adjustable cuffs (not to clog the snow) and, of course, waterproof fabric.

Many coats and jackets at first glance look qualitatively, but are unsuitable to wear due promokaemosti. Rain and snow or a short-term approach during a snowfall in a warm room - and your clothes get wet to the skin. Take a bubble store water and make sure that the fabric repels moisture.

Try not to take clothes of bright colors and eye-catching design. You have no problem to attract too much attention, you are not a tourist.

Sports shoes

The key point, which is worth paying attention to when buying shoes - thick soles. It will keep you warm and allow to comfortably move on broken glass, slate and brick.

Do not take the low winter boots or sneakers: they leave you open a very vulnerable part of the legs.

No locks and sticky - just lacing.

Try on shoes with thick warm sock as if by nature you Merzlyak - put additional insole (ideally from natural felt). After that, your foot should be in the boot rather freely. No butt size. Otherwise it will be necessary to freeze.

Huge minus shoes low and medium price categories - their tightness. Leg in a shoe feels like a spacesuit, and after a long journey condensate can be poured out of the shoe. If there is an opportunity - to buy expensive shoes. No - take on the road with a couple of spare socks and change to dry as needed.

Ski pants

The main advantage of these pants - waterproof and windproof fabric. Even in very severe frost and the wind in their heat. A snow or rain will not make your trip less comfortable.

Pants, unlike trousers and jeans, less stifle you on the move and not so tightly wrap around. Traditionally, to take stock of winter clothing in size and thermal underwear to try on. With him ski pants to wear more comfortable: even after running or strenuous exercise pad will not stick to the legs, and the body will cool down is not so intense.

Pay attention to the belt. It is highly desirable to have the pants were and strap belt, and lacing. Will be useful and roomy pockets on the locks, and optional fabric lining on the knees and the fifth point.

Sweater under a throat

Forget the sweaters and light pullover. Dense, high-wool sweaters, entirely covering the neck, preferably black, dark blue or dark gray - that's your choice.

It may happen that you will not be able to wash and dry things throughout the winter.

No acrylic and other synthetic fabrics. They are beautiful, and perhaps even be appropriate for urban wear, but under extreme loads are absolutely useless.

other little things

There are a number of things that do not require a lot of money, but will delight you with their presence more than once. Just list them, without going into details:

1. Twenty pairs of socks, including a pair of 3-4 warm.
2. Running shoes on hard-soled shoes.
3. Strong jeans (no decorative stripes and damage).
4. Raincoat.
5. Warm waterproof fabric of the gloves.
6. Autumn and winter hats (even if you were walking in peacetime without a hat in the dead of winter).
7. Thermo.
8. Melting.
9. The stock of cotton T-shirts.

stupid waste

Huge stocks of groceries

Cereals, flour, butter and preserves in industrial quantities - all this, of course, is fine and necessary, and something you might even eat, but it gradually deteriorate for large stocks. Keep the minimum number of basic positions, without turning your apartment into a branch of "Auchan".

A lot of frozen meat and semifinished products

Sooner or later you run out of light, and all this will have to be prepared in an emergency mode, or have to throw away. At such moments the dog, which had once loving owners are thrown into the street, leaving the city, do not walk, and crawl on the roads with swollen bellies to incredible sizes.

Military / paramilitary form

It is obviously too many questions, attention and risks. Among civilian clothes no less convenient options.

Firearms and traumatic weapon

Benefit from it will be much less than the issues and problems.

Binoculars

This is a real chance to get the shot.

Total

This list could be extended, but do reserves for all occasions you can not. Ensure that the first day of the projectile will not destroy your house or apartment, and along with them and all lovingly collected supplies impossible. Even the most uporotyh gadzhetofilam and perfectionists, who are suffering from the strap on the clock is wrong color, or choose a table painfully on Feng Shui, missing years is to look at things and the world more simpler.

Do not focus on the selection of the best things. Just buy something that meets the requirements of - life itself will take you on the dates. The world!
