Due to the recent media attention, I was thinking about

"preppers". These "preppers", apparently, are a little different from

"survivalists", in that they are mostly hoarding ammunition, food and

etc. I watched a TV program about preppers and luxury bomb shelters

and I thought, this is nonsense. A female version of survivalism.



I was thinking about it and realized that this approach has a fatal

flaw, which is that preppers assume that when the world as we know

ends, they will still be able to live in and use their homes.



The history shows that much of the time, disasters and wars dispossess

people of their homes.



Disaster strikes, bye bye food hoard. Usually bye bye guns also.



Then what would a "prepper" do? Not much. They are ****ed just like

everyone else.



I am not really against hoarding, and I have always been a bit of a

hoarder, but I wanted to show that hoarding has its limitations. There

is some important preparedness that goes beyond hoarding and spending

big $$$ on bulky perishables.

Everyone should have a hobby.



Indeed. Particularly if it can save your life.



My hobby is machining, putting on my seatbelt and keeping my CCW and

skills current along with being a survivalist.



So far so good!

The methodology of the left has always been:



1. Lie

2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible

3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible

4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie

5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw

6. Then everyone must conform to the lie

There was some speculation on the romance of wandering about scavenging after a SHTF scenario.

Watch this, and some more about the FTRA to better understand what that scavenging lifestyle might be like.
And remember, this is all about scavenging in a (relatively)healthy society.
