I would consider myself to be somewhat of the prepper type.
A couple hundred pounds of food, alot of water, some electrical generation capacity.
And a few guns.
I don’t relish the idea of killing someone.
Problem is, in an SHTF scenario, any idea of believing that someone is a fellow American or a fellow Republican or even a fellow Democrat goes out the window.
EVERYONE. And that means EVERYONE that you don’t personally know, (and even some that you do personally know), must be perceived as a threat, an IMMEDIATE threat.
For me, I’m in my late 50’s. Not sure it’s worth the grief.
But I’ll tell you two things. I AIN’T gonna starve. And I AIN’T gonna freeze!
And if the spring comes, and the sun warms things up, and the evenings get soft again, I have a boatload of seeds of all types and varieties. Life could be good again, a challenge, but very rewarding.
