Hmmm...
I was thinking something close to that... But mine was Guns, Booze, Women, and Food...
Guns, Women, Booze, Food: If the women are hot.
Guns, Booze, Women, Food: If not!

It occurs to me that the Middle Ages were a major SHTF scenario, and we got through it.
Semper fi ought to just lay down and die right now.
Lets see;Some will die in the initial S hitting it,anyone on meds that keep em alive, in a hospital or a long term care facility will be dead. Even those that prep will be dead because they were stupid and didn't prep but half of what they needed,. Those in poor physical or mental condition, without clean water, food or shelter,or enough bullets wiil be dead also.
"I have a warrior spirit so I won't go gently into that good night, but I will ultimately sucumb just like everyone else."
You're already dead.
Positive mental attitude will keep body and soul together better than a defeatist "I'm gonna die in the end no matter what I do" philosophy.
Unless you are one of the life saving meds folks. If that's the case I'd have a plan to break into the nearest pharmacy, heavily armed, to get what I needed to survive as long as I could.
I should just lay down and die right now? That's no way to introduce yourself, Hans.
I was sharing thoughts about why many will be dead within 90 days. I'm prepared; probably a lot better than most Star Wars warriors and folks who go buy two extra cans of beans a week and call that prepping. I've pointed a gun at somone in anger; I'm not at all constrained by concience from doing it again if they would do or my family me harm. I'm at ease with my God and believe it is is His will for me to be prepared for whatever fate befalls me. Don't drink, don't smoke, don't drink pop, don't take any meds. Slightly heavier than my fighting weight when I was in the Corps, but nothing that couldn't be worked off in 30 days. I'm good enough at security and have the proper tools that it would take more than a few people to get the drop on me. As a former Marine sniper with a very developed skill set to use weapons that I posess at a very long distance, they better be better at what I used to do professionally than I am. I guarantee the vast majority are not.
Placing my own odds at under 50% has nothing to do with my preparations or will to live. I do realize and accept that as a social creature the loss of my family and friends, many whom are not in the physical condition I am in, would have a profound effect on my psyche. The variable is how I would react to being alone. Also, while I have a strong will to survive, it is not so strong that I would be willing to kill others simply to take control of their possessions. That puts me in a precarious position, but one that I am morally OK with.
Now if I was a fat little troll that plays with dolls, I would put my chances at under 1%. I'm not.

Well, I wasn't trying to make an enemy but that post just struck me as defeatist and I can't work from a world view like that. If I didn't think that me and mine were gonna "make it" I wouldn't prepare for anything. I gotta work from a positive position on the whole concept or I'm not gonna be able to accomplish anything.
I respect your opinion, Semper , wasn't trying to start a urination competition. Just don't necessarily agree with you is all. I see no reason why if what you've told us about yourself is true you wouldn't have a very high chance of surviving.
Your watchin too much TV. Train, prepare, react. I for one am planning on doing O.K.
