I just think its laughable some of these people think they will somehow get their entire family and friends out of the city or something, to a safe place, and just live out the rest of their lives like some happy fairy tale.
Truth is, the survivors of the collapse will be absolute loners, Book of Eli status loners. Will have to try to survive after seeing some insanely brutal shit, probably even making some insanely difficult choices, maybe even having to do with their survival above say a close friend or family member. None of us can even imagine what it will be like living knowing everyone you've ever loved is gone forever. Nope, no thanks.
I was just curious if anyone else out there has been starting to prep in recent years with all the garbage going on in the world?
If anything major does happen I have about a month worth of food and water and no issue with shelter since I own my home and enough ammo to protect it for a while. Ive gotten more and more into rural survival because I think if something big does go down with another country or even in our own, the city is the last place I think I would want to be.
Am I crazy or is this the norm that everyone is now starting to think about and prepare?
Only preparation I need to make is finding out where all you wackos with all the food and water are hiding out.
When you save for retirement is that a form of prepping? When the United States Government stockpiles billions of rounds of ammo, builds FEMA camps, orders tons and tons of MREs and freeze dried food are they considered whacky preppers? Just curious.
I refer you to Matthew 24:36:
"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."
So you prep in vain my friend.
Not to mention many of the foretold doomsday prophecies have not been fulfilled yet either.
When hurricane Sandy slammed into the East Coast several years ago I laughed at all the fools running around looking for flash lights and provisions at the very last second. After the storm rolled through there were hundreds of thousands of families with out the basics for many weeks. People picking through dumpsters looking for food to eat.
... and boots and shoes. Nobody ever thinks about boots and shoes.
