If things get so bad that many are really starving (which I doubt, given our agricultural capacities and preparedness), it might be wisest to concentrate more on supporting yourselves than on violence.

Truth is, most modern Americans havent’ the slightest idea of how to grow their own food. Although an informed individual could easily survive off the land, most lack the knowledge as to how to feed themselves from natures pantry (a good friend referred to this phenomenon as “idiots starving to death in a grocery store”).

Unfortunately, most of our food supply is trucked in from other locations. In the SHTF scenario, I wouldn’t count on any trucks running with basic supplies/staples for a long time.

As for violence, you may more concerned with supporting yourself but others will be intent on violence. They will give you no choice.

"In the SHTF scenario, I wouldn’t count on any trucks running with basic supplies/staples for a long time."

That's a wild assumption. What is "the SHTF scenario?" Present a specific scenario.

"As for violence, you may more concerned with supporting yourself but others will be intent on violence. They will give you no choice."

That's another assumption. You don't know what others will do or anything about me. What's your proposed "SHTF scenario?" Your comments are popular and often stated by many after the recent shower of zombie movies. Let's put 'em to the test. Please answer the question.

Apologies for writing a reply that might have appeared to be overbearing. I could have found better words. But maybe we should run through likely causes and effects of a given scenario and learn a little more about being prepared.
