The end of the world

Though the first part of this article is interesting the 'meat' is farther down in a section titled: Collapse of our society by Selco.

We become lazy, ignorant idiots. Most of us. We are already zombies, dependent on a system full of promises. Not everyone but most of us.

There is a small number of people who like to ask questions, who like to think with their own head. For that small number of folks there are names reserved by society: weirdos, conspiracy theorists, lunatics… you… readers of shtfschool.com

I mean in what kind of society we are living if it is strange when man wants to know how to survive in urban environment when disaster hits, hunt for food, make fire for heat, have means to defend himself, know how to live in wilderness. How crazy (or sane) is that?

Now we can just wait for some event to set the chaos in motion. It can be widespread unrest or long term power grid failure because of EMP, or some bigger pandemic. Or simply one nasty economic crisis and we are gonna be in full scale SHTF situation.

Heh. I get some strange looks from other folks in the supermarkets as I’m “fondling” cans, checking for dents, spot-rust, exp date and using my thumb to check the can’s strength. If I can push in the can’s side or top/bottom, I pass on it. Some feel like they’re made from beer can aluminum.

One of my favorite quotes:
"Blessed are the cracked, for it is they who let in the light."

Sorry to be late to the party. Somehow I missed the ping. I don’t think preppers are weird or any of those other names intended to ridicule.

I think preppers are smarter than the average TV addicted citizen. Such intellect naturally has to be used rather than allow the brain to atrophy.

Preppers are more likely to survive. This alone may improve the gene pool when the shtf. LOL.
