There was some prepper a few years ago who was interviewed (in an media interview on preppers) and a major part of his plan was to seize survival goods from the people in his area who were also preppers.
It wasn’t like the guy confided this plan to a friend...he just laid it out. (as I recall, the guy was also a lib)
I can just see this guy trying that on his neighbors, who didn’t look like they had to go to Cabelas on a Saturday to buy all the equipment...
Would they take a check?
In my travels around the prep-o-sphere, I have personally encountered these "wolves" - predators who are casing the real preppers for their stashes.
There are a lot of people out there who are looking forward to the Zombie Apocalypse - and not for the best of intentions...
