Internet? Hot Water? Deodorant? Grocery Stores? House? Cars? Electricity? Running Water? I'm curious...what 1 item would you just not realize you have...until you don't? [/quote] none because its not gonna happen :/ :sheep::sheep::sheep::sheep::sheep::sheep: most of you are tin foil hat wearing sheep. [/quote] It is certainly true that complete social disruption seldom happens. It is not true that people who do prepare are tinfoil hat wearing sheep. In fact, if that was the case, then all of our ancestors who learned skills and could grow things were also tinfoil hat wearing sheep. If you're a young person reading this, while you might feel totally secure about the supplies in your home and the ability to take care of yourself, over your lifetime, what is actually true is that you will experience disasters. Some of those are short like power outages, some longer like severe ice storms, some even longer like a major life adjustment from divorce and affecting your finances, the death of a loved one, a debilitating illness or injury, etc. What I call the SHTF is not complete chaos and mayhem. All of the above are SHTF events but racheting the severity in each case. If you do learn practical skills, have seed, supplies, and spirituality, then when those tough life events come along, then you have some cushion. Supplies help modulate the difficulty when times get tough. Seeds give life to new plants and harvesting those. Skills help you to forage to Nature's bounty all around you. It also saves you money by repairing things yourself. Spirituality also helps you to cope with your own smashed morale, helps your family, and ultimately helps your community as you all aid those without those skills and supplies. This is a teachable moment. Don't be focused on DOOM. Instead be calmly focused on how you could be a healer when life throws you some serious curveballs. Think about all those times friends and family helped you. Perhaps even total strangers did. When the SHTF, that's an opportunity for the truly prepared to help others, NOT fight off zombies. [/quote] then get off your soap box and stop acting like a fucking nut saying the "sky is falling" cause its not. be realistic. [/quote] Boy, I hope you are right. But what if you are not right? What if one bottle of water you had stored away could keep you alive until someone found you and gave you a cup of soup? I store in the mindset of handing out that cup of soup. Maybe you could be just a little more understanding. No one is going to be hurt by storing a few things. It would be sad to watch my kids die of thirst...crying for just a drink of water when I could have put just a few bottles under the bed. Being realistic cuts both ways. [/quote]
