After watching The History Channel tonight and the SHTF show, it raised a valid question...
Think about the conditions in that show...
How many of you think you would REALLY survive the first wave of a SHTF situation? Leave your pride and ego behind on this one and just think about it. Especially those married with children.
How could you survive with no food or water? How could you fend off the gangs? How could you survive without medicine? The chances are very slim you would make it past the first two weeks. Those of you who have survival stock in food, water, ammo, and anything else you think is necessary will be challenged day in and day out for your merchandise. To make things worse, you are responsible for 2-3 children, and a wife who couldn't fight her way out of a wet paper bag. Face it, most men don't have mountain women for wives.
While I cannot possibly list them all, there are FAR too many scenarios that can take place that greatly limits ones ability to survive for any length of time.
It would truly become an every man for himself event.
Granted there are folks who are super skilled and more apt to make it further along, but many people are out of shape, and could easily be overpowered.
