Preppers

[onlinebiker]

I find the entire concept absurd. Why would I want to live in a post apocalyptic word? A global nuclear war would not only destroy structures, it would poison food sources. If humans get that stupid and shoot off nukes, all I want to know is where ground zero is and be under it. I wouldn't feel a thing. 

The only people who benefit from this absurd of "prepping" are the people who sell the crap you buy.

You have all the imagination of a cast iron skillet.


.....

There are a MULTITUDE of things that can cause society to fall apart. Nuclear war isn' t the only possibility.

An asteroid impact - a 90% mortality pandemic  (natural or man-made), economic collapse, 
your poety gets widely read and suicide rates skyrocket.........

Any of those make it perfectly possible for survivors to live - and live well - if you are fairly well prepared.

And as Boru points out - mudane things as storms and earthquakes make it probable that you will see disruptions in electrical service and distribution of good from time to time..

I guess you just like sitting in the damp, dark night trying to get drunk on warm beer - and wolfing down all the leftover takeout food before it rots in the fridge......

It sure explains the poetry....

Food acquisition supplies/implements, water purification, air purification (depending in the type-o-end), medical supplies, tools, fire.

A shit load of Duck tape.

Gorilla brand duct tape....


All others are a poor imitation....
