Modular post

A modular post for use in a barrier system, the post comprising:

• a post component comprising a plurality of segments;
• and
• a base comprising a top side and an opposing bottom side, the bottom side comprising a deformable retaining feature and a recess having a shape substantially corresponding to the plurality of segments of the post component and configured to receive the plurality of segments separately in a stored configuration, the recess and the deformable retaining feature configured to form a friction fit with the post component when the modular post is in the stored configuration;
• wherein the post component is configured to be attached or attachable on, to or in the top side of the base in a deployed configuration, and wherein the post component is configured to be housed within the base when the modular post is in the stored configuration.
