Prepper/SHTF

[Guest]

What could possibly go wrong? We are trapped on a rock spinning around in the middle of a universe that we know nothing about with other territorial, chimp-like creatures that threaten to bomb and destroy each other over dwindling resources and religions, narrowly dodging flying space objects.

At the very least, we are due for a pandemic of some kind to cull the growing population since we have no natural predators. 

I don't worry about it, but history suggests that things won't run this smoothly forever. I see it as just being practical and realistic.

 When I hear the term prepper I generally think of it as a marketing or targeting word. Some gear and supplies are of course necessary but of course what got popular was a mentality of throw money at a problem. If by any chance you have a young boy, perhaps the boy scout / cub scout books to learn. It's kind of like when the recycling programs were cropping up, young people talking to older people like something new had been discovered wise, when the reality is repurpose is much more efficient & effective than recycling.
