Service to self will drain your spirit.

Service to others will drain your supplies.

The will to survive is strong.

And only the strong will survive.

I hope I am among them.

I agree the only preps you really need is a good knowledge of your environment and survival skills all those preppers are trying to continue in a manner they have become used to those that will actually survive and thrive are those prepared to adapt from day one and move away from the old system imagine 10 mths down the line and your provisions are gone , they will be the ones left behind as most who haven't died will already be adapted to a new reality the preppers will be playing catch up in other words make sure you have written knowledge as in books they are the only preps you need imho
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37283917


all you need is good knowledge of environment and survival skills huh? well what happens when someone like myself see's you have something I want and I cut you up for it and let my dog feast on your corpse. Something I want could be as simple as toilet paper, fishing rod, over the counter meds etc. Do you really think people in this society are ready for ruthless savages like that? Ill answer that for you … NO

Re: 99% of Preppers are NOT PREPARED for a SHTF SCENARIO!
Survival is not just about prepping your 'stuff'

It is about building mental strength, body strength, and the ability to think in a situation that you will not be expecting

I have been a prepper since I was a little girl, but not for anything considered very far fetched or out of unjustifiable paranoia. I have lived in places where weather was the enemy, where it could have been tornado, hurricane, snow storm, etc. Each of those requires preparation. But in the event of a tornado, what's the point when it all gets blown away? How about if your house becomes flooded out and and all your stuff just went under water and is now useless? Preparation is not for a specific situation but for a variety of situations and a true prepper understands this. It is emotional intelligence and mental maturity that will help someone the most, although the physical things such as water and food are obviously an asset as well.

Anyone who understands the connection between it all, understands what will need to be done, as well as what they will be willing to do when faced with others who may NOT have prepared or not know what to do, and in the event of needing to act, having the courage to do the appropriate action.

Either way I wish you the best, OP. If you have made your decision on YOUR solution to a potential problem, who am I to judge?

That will be the reality alright. Your right.

Some of us already have excaped the cities and live in remote locations and have a group organized that will come together when shit happens.

Yes there will be hard choices to be made when the time comes and in different situations.

One thing for sure though. I won't be checking myself out. Against the rules Pal.

As hard as it may get you got to go with the flow and do your best. It only hurts for a second. What will be will be.

Last good struggle for life which is the prise in the first place. How soon we forget.

Your a CHRISTian, remember?

Would Jesus whip out an AR15 to protect his disciples??
I doubt it.

Ever hear of "Turn the other cheek"???
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14518082


Jesus actually commanded his disciples to get MILITARY-GRADE swords to MATCH the common weapon that the Romans used at the time. Oh and those weapons were deemed illegal for anyone other than military to have. Explain that one you ignorant moron. The AR-15 is today's modern sword, unless you want a tank or something heavier.

On top of that, what about the "preppers" that are former SF military? I am pretty sure we know what is coming and have planned accordingly.

No more anger.

When one realizes and has seen the pure love and joy that we are supposed to have as a reality- they tend to not care about fighting to the bitter end.

I am not a Christian- but I will not kill another in defence.
To me- that is the big taboo. Your own life is YOUR OWN LIFE. To be used or ended as you see fit- no one else.

But if a person professes to be a Christian?
They would not kill.
Period.

Why are you so attached to living a shit survivalist life when what is waiting for you is so glorious?

Geez...we all have been playing this game for eternity!

Remember- "It's Just a Ride"

(Hope ur havin fun Bill)

Namaste!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14518082


I'm not a Christian or any religious follower for that matter but I do believe in doing what I feel is right. I will never kill any living being or human out of anger but if I feel I am undoubtedly in fear of losing my life, you bet your ass ill take someone out to save my own ass!!

I agree with biscuits and gravy, you are a coward.

You are too lazy to even try to prepare so you just cop out.
You call us all stupid for trying our utmost to protect our families.
You think we have no power of our convictions.

Bottom line is; you are a pathetic, sad, pitiful, and weak little human. The best you could for the survival of the rest uf us is to cut your own throat.

Not one person reading this will think you have the balls to do it.

I will never know how to prepare for anything when I have so many people to worry about. Its hard to know what I'll do. I live with my mother, brother, and her significant other. My partner lives half an hour drive away from me. If tshtf, all I'll have is a chest full of dread for those I love. I don't know how to get past that.

Re: 99% of Preppers are NOT PREPARED for a SHTF SCENARIO!
OP, if you're so afraid of the sound of gunfire alerting snipers with 30-.06 to your presence, why don't you start practicing archery? Or just start practicing with your .22 caliber long rifle?

Making traditional bows isn't hard, I've made 75 pound longbows out of a couple thrift store $5 ski's, two grade 5 bolts & nuts, and a $5 piece of 3x3 red oak from the hardware store. Just carve the Oak into a handle, cut the ski's down, and bolt those ski's onto the handle.

Just a 45 pound long bow or recurve bow will do more damage than a 30-.06, by the way.

I'm not saying the bow is better than a gun of course, I'm just saying if you're so worried about being sniped when hunting for food, learn silent weapons and trapping.

Mental and physical preparation is paramount. You must be able to at least move quickly and with relative agility.
If you can't you're fucked (yup, you fatties are toast!).
Mentally, you must already have the killer mindset. By that I mean you must be able to look at your neighbours and the people you see everyday as a potential threat.
In a SHTF situation even your neighbour's wife will be more dangerous than a creeping pestilence.
In the back of your mind somewhere, you need to tell yourself that you could kill the person you are interacting with.
Visualising it now will make it less traumatic (not, not traumatic) when the day comes.
If you hesitate, you will die because there are people out there who will switch into kill mode in the blink of an eye (and you may never suspect them now).
Be certain of one thing. Survival is a primary instinct and it will kick in. The problem is that it may be overload on the average unprepared person.
Critical thinking and rational thought will take a back seat and herein lies the danger.
Mental preparedness is vital and it must be a part of your everyday life.
Take note at ALL times where you are and what your surroundings are. If this becomes habit, particularly if you follow a daily routine then your brain will store more than you can imagine.
Be constantly aware of other people NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE. Learn to read people as best you can. Remember, your greatest threat will be from other people!
Of course, there is no perfect plan as there is no guaranteed situation but awareness and general health will go a long way in keeping you alive.
As far as physical preps go I'd say don't over prep.
There is only so much you can carry and use. But you MUST have preps...

Re: 99% of Preppers are NOT PREPARED for a SHTF SCENARIO!
This is for all of you preppers who like to think you are ready for when the SHTF.

So you think you're prepared for the worst, eh?

Got those seeds and BOB all ready?

Guns & Ammo? Check.

Stored food/water? Check.

Well guess what?

NONE of it will do you any good in a real SHTF scenario.

First-
Are you guys really sure you want to live in a world where you & your family are being hunted and killed like insects???


And don't give me that "I got my BOB and my water filter and my Boy Scout book" shit......cause in a true SHTF scenario the only possible way to survive is to be a part of a SERIOUSLY organized military stlye camp with heavy firepower and 24 hour perimeter guards, medical skills,mass storage of supplies and most importantly-

THE COLD HEARTED MIND OF A KILLER.

Because you'll have to murder those poor starving families that try to steal your shit or join your compound when you already don't have enough for yourselves.

And you don't want to use gunfire unless ABSOLUTELY necessary, because it draws attention to you and ammo is precious.

So are you ready to be covered in blood after cutting the throats of those poor fuckers just desperate for food????

THAT'S REALITY.

Hope you're not Christian- cause I don't think
"That's what Jesus would do". And a real Christian cannot justify murder by using the "protecting my family" excuse.

Have you ever watched anyone die from getting their throat cut?
Hope you can sleep with that image in your mind!

All you "preppers" who think you're all ready for the apocalypse are in for a big surprise.

You'll never survive buggin out with your family! As soon as anyone sees you or hears gunfire from your hunting- you become a target.

And a 30-06 deer rifle with a good scope will pick you and your kids off one at a time and there will be NOTHING you can do about it!

Then the fuckers will come steal your shit.

Sound like a great life?

Fuck That.

I'll be humanely checking myself out before that happens and crossing over to the Glory that is TRUE REALITY that lies behind this fucked up shit we have now.

No, OP is right on many points, Ive never considered myself as a prepper, although ive been doing it for decades. SHTF has many levels from the "Road" scenario, to "The Day After" prepping for a total irreversible collapse, like we saw in Mad Max or The Road, is just trying to make yourself live a bit longer, The Day After scenario, is managing your assets until some sort of order can be restored, two different scenarios,In the former, I have no problem defending my property from theft and my family to protect them from a horrible tortured death or cannibalism.

Human Beasts only revolt when faced with empty shelves.
But at that stage, coming now to your supermarket, it's time for World War III.
Iranians were the first to revolt. 2009, brutally repressed with mass executions by illuminati agents of the Iran ever since.
In 2011 the Arab Spring began.

*** HORRIBLE TRUTH *** about empty grocery shelves and YOU
 Quoting: LastProphet 37336965


This is an excellent reminder to all the idiots preppers that IF the shit hits the fan people won't suddenly become cannibals and roaming pillagers.

Americans watch too much TV and never faced any difficult situation like war on their soils or famine and they make all kind of crazy scenarios in their heads because they are afraid like babies to loose their comfort.

Truth is there are millions of people living without electricity or easy food and none of them behave like the preppers expect they would.

Preppers imagine the worse scenarios because they are sociopaths and can't imagine humans stick to each others in case of difficulties instead of killing each others.

I hope one day Americans know war on their soil so they'll now what true survival is about.

Hint; it's not about hiding in your bunker with your cans of beans. It's about social interactions and preppers suck at that.
