If it all did go down, Dane, do you think people are prepared for it?
How would most act if they and their families were starving? I think that's the question theirs thread is asking Posted via Mobile Device |

People, all people, are spoiled to the conveniences of today.
Most wouldn't know the first thing about living. I should know. I was there fifteen years ago Posted via Mobile Device |

I don't think that 7 billion people are ready for it. I do think the human race would survive. |

Probably pretty similar to the billion post apocalyptic stories, movies, and games that are out there.

For sure those who doubt the need to prepare or who ignore it will not be in a good position under any circumstance. There are far more people who think about it than many suspect, some take no action, some do and all to different degrees.

Well I certainly hope it never happens. But I wouldn't put those kinds of odds against it. The problem is that our energy infrastructure is surprisingly fragile and susceptible. And we as a society are wholly dependent on it. I'm no prepper by any means. But I think we as a people are dangerously over confident in our social stability, and the overwhelming majority couldn't handle long term disruption of it.

I went to the grocery store today and got the LAST BAG of crunchy style cheetos.
I thought they were GONE at first. The end is coming bros. Someone out there is stocking up on crunchy style cheetos and I'm going to have to kill them for it.

Probably just the opposite. Stories and movies and games of any kind are made to be dramatic! and exciting! and with thrilling action! and real life just doesn't have any interest in all that stuff at all. |

I've got a water source. I've got lots of guns and ammo. I practice survival skills several times a year, and I've got plenty of animals around for food. Having said all that, I'll probably just start choking people out and cannibalizing them.
