Granted, worldwide and millions looking for the basics. But they won't all be in my AO.Apparently, everyone has a different definition of SHTF.
To me, SHTF is as bad as it can get, and that isn't going to be localized; it will be global.
Sure, people will do their best to survive, but in the end, it's you against the world, not just your neighborhood.
There will be millions of people struggling to stay alive, and not just your town or city.
It's delusional to believe anyone can be prepared for what would happen. Millions of people searching for food
and could very likely be you that they intend on hanging over a fire; what's your preparation for that?
