RE: URBAN SURVIVAL SERIES - INTRODUCTION

in #survival8 years ago

Your best resource for survival is knowledge and experience. And you are doing a good job of building that up. Well done. ;-)

I've watch the prepping shows (and laughed my head off) and looked at the situation where I live. I'm not a prepper, but I am prepared.

One of the biggest and most useful things we have in my country for surviving a disaster - natural or man-made, is us, our society, our psyche, our way of doing things.

This was demonstrated quite a few times in recent history with the very damaging earthquakes we have had. Looting and violence was almost unheard of (there was a rise in domestic violence in the years afterwards due to increased stress), but there were no gangs of armed men out trying to 'steal you stuff'.

What we did have was a huge gang of students, and another gang of farmers who left their places of study and work, and drove some long distances to help. No-one asked them to. No-one paid them to. They did it because that's what you do isn't it?

That's the next step in your prepping arsenal - a supportive co-operative community, and a psyche that says - how can I help?

No matter how many guns you have, no matter how much ammunition you have, you will not prosper as an armed loner. You might survive, but you won't recover what was lost. To do that requires a community.

So pay attention to @papa-pepper when he's talking about this stuff. He's got his head screwed on right, and I think he has a good plan.

And if the brown stuff really does hit the whirly thing, I've got a big comfy couch in a nice safe country, and a Greek wife that will feed you amazing food until you burst. First come, first served. ;-)

Sort:  

Dibs on the couch!

And, as usual, well said!

hehe. there's even room for some @little-peppers as well ;-) (and Runaway Rabbit)

and you wold be most welcome :-)
