I think i would be ok for a while, not to worried about looters. The first 10 or 20 would be scewerd on sticks randomly about the yard. That might deter the next group of looters or thugs whatever. If i got too hungry i would just eat the looters or gangs, should be plenty meat on hand. And take no offence fellas, but as someone said earlier it would be every man for himself, if i got too hungry or needed supplys real bad, id just come take yours
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.
I still don't think some of you get it.
Where does it say to stop doing anything? Where does it say anything about Mall Ninjas? It WAS an ambiguous post about an enigmatic situation.seems pretty clear to me you think there are too many variables to prepare for and we should at this point say your right and stop prepping and just get ready to die because thats all that will happen anyway, except for a small number of highly skilled mall ninjas who will just die later. is there some complete 180 story in between the lines I'm not reading?
rapist & murderers?????? I said nothing to the nature. Thats a heck of alot different then going out & finding food...

A riddle wrapped in an enigma...Where does it say to stop doing anything? Where does it say anything about Mall Ninjas? It WAS an ambiguous post about an enigmatic situation.
It does point out one glaring difference though. Those who live out in the "sticks" will have more warning that things have gotten bad and will have more time to take action. Also, I suspect that things won't get as bad out in the sticks.
Those of us who live in the cities, or in the suburbs will have very little time to put our plans into action. Things will get very bad very quickly in the cities.
That's the quickest way to win friends around here .
No offense but MOLON LABE ! Right back at ya pal !
What if its two ( or more) against you
Hope your a better shot/have better cover/more buddies with you than they do.
There are two types of people on these forums: (a) the a-holes who say "all I need is mah guns and ammo" and (b) people who really want to be prepared, with plenty of food, and who now must prepare for the a-holes.
