1/
Nothing makes me laugh more than "preppers" who may or may not have a can of survival seeds in their "bug out bag", and/or a plan like "I'll head out to the country with my AR-15 and start farming".

5/ If we ever got a TRUE civilization-ending SHTF moment, I figure that 80-90% of people are going to die of starvation, and another 5-10% are going to be killed by "preppers" who have 3 meals and 3,000 rounds of ammo in their survival kits.

6/ It'll all make perfect sense "Farmer, I'll work for food" no, don't have enough to share, go away "Farmer, don't make me" <gun fight> either: A) "prepper" dead, or B) farmer dead and "prepper" now inherits tools and land...and still doesn't know how to use them

8/ Here's a cheap prepper plan for the 0.01% scenario: * rent a small storage unit way way out * fill it with 1 year of food for you & yours * put a few cots, sleeping bags, and maybe a wood stove in it If SHTF, get out of the city, go there, camp out.

9/ Better to be out near a small community and then be in a position to offer to help. "Hey, I've already got enough food for me and mine...you guys need any help clearing roads / guarding things?"

10/ You'd probably have a chance to upgrade lodgings in short order. Guaranteed that - if you've got your own food - someone will suggest that 80yo widow Jones with a 4 bedroom house, a wood stove, and an old barn could use someone to split wood and keep house for her.

11/ and - again, if you've got your own food, and offering a hand, not looking for a handout, I can easily imagine that you'd be able to trade some work for a set of borrowed tools. Or scout & bring back 50 gal of diesel and get the use of a tractor for a week or two in trade.

Don’t worry. I promise I will be a benevolent suburbanite warlord.
