FreedomStar3028 :" All planning falls apart.
Because no plan can take into account your fellow human being."
That is why you should practice your "bugging in", or "bugging out" plan , and
have enough flexibility to have a 'plan B', and 'plan C' for backup.
Hat Tip to Kartograher, and LucyT
No electricity. No gasoline or other fuels. No working water or other plumbing systems. No law n order. Lack of food and above mentioned water. Puerto Ricans all over the place.
Indeed.
As we just experienced when Irma came to visit, no plan A survives contact with the event.
While we were wholly prepared and it all ‘worked as needed,’ we lived the reality of “ adapt, improvise, overcome.”
good stuff
The best way to survive the ‘apocalypse’ is to no longer be upon the Earth, rather to be in the clouds with fellow believers whom Jesus has returned to take to the Father’s House where there are many rooms.
So we should not plan/prepare because others are unpredictable and destroy all plans/preparations?
That is the very formula for becoming part of the problem.
We prep so that we can be a part of the solution, at least for our own families and those in our prepping circle.
As far as the unpredictability of others, they can do what they want. If they don’t want to prep and they want to starve when the SHTF, that’s their choice.
If their unpredictability leads them to try to take my supplies and parasite off my prepping (whether from unfriendly looting or friendly looting — those friends and neighbors who laughed in your face for years and said, “well, if anything does happen, I’ll come to your house”) then most of us are prepared to control their ‘unpredictability.’
