Preppers’ PING!
Hmmmm, some good points to ponder
With record gun sales and back ground checks, the lone wolf would certainly be in the wrong place or “kick in” the wrong door within a few hours of SHTF. Roving gangs would be a different story. Organized, armed and hungry.
My BIL says he’s gonna be a lone wolf, toting his wife and kid. Tried to tell him to do otherwise but you know...he’s a badazz. Glad he lives far away.
Couple of points:
Leos and ex military in a SHTF scenario would act as organizers as well as consultants in constructing layered defenses and would be highly paid or might work for free if needed. They are a dedicated lot and would be part of the solution rather than part of the problem as detailed in that “SHTFf fantasy” article referred to.
They would probably be paid in chickens as well as medical supplies as those would be the high value commodities.
The lone wolves with their super duper skills and super duper equipment would be eliminated within the first three weeks or so. Belonging to an organization is key to survival.
