Obviously they’ve got a good supply, but what concerns me the most as a modest prepper is security. My question is, yes, you can have weapons and ammo, but in a long-term crisis, aren’t you going to have to band together with other family members and trusted friends/neighbors for real protection - especially in the cities? Remember the adage, “there is safety in numbers”. Wouldn’t that especially apply in a real long term “shtf” situation?
When food and water run out, the bad guys are also going to go hunting in large groups and they are going to take what you’ve got dead or alive. Fighting against a couple of individuals is one thing, but when you are going up against 50 to 100 individuals there is no way you, by yourself, are going to be able to stop them.
I’ve heard other preppers say that if things get bad, they will leave the city and go to a “safe” place - but how do you travel safely to get there? Again, just like in the wagon train days - is there not more safety in numbers?
After reading all of these doomsday posts I am going to spend the rest of my life worrying and gathering supplies so that I can hunker down in some filthy hovel and protect my stash. This sounds like a wonderful way to to spend the few years we have on this earth. I for one will spend the rest of my days
worrying and fretting about tomorrow and all the horrible things awaiting me down the road: I better close now and get
on with my worrying and what iffing, there’s not much time.
Half the society is nuts and the other half is crazy.
Are you serious?
