In this episode, we break down one of the most frequent and chaotic SHTF scenarios: civil unrest and martial law. From protests and riots to curfews and military checkpoints, we explore what triggers it, how fast it escalates, and how preppers can avoid getting caught in the crossfire.

🔥 Civil unrest is no longer rare—it’s routine.

🚨 Triggers range from police incidents and political tension to economic stress and viral outrage.

🎖 Martial law flips the switch: curfews, suspended rights, military in the streets.

📽 Real examples include: 2020 protests, Ferguson, January 6th, and the recent 2025 L.A. immigration riots.

🛡 Prepper response: stay situationally aware, have alternate routes, bug-in readiness, and a solid vehicle kit.

🎯 Listener challenge: Map 3 non-highway routes home and stash a basic car kit.
