Three typical reactions to survival scenarios

1. King of the playground

SHTF, and there are no rules anymore, and you can go out and do whatever you want. You can use force in order to do whatever you want. You can fulfill your dreams. Everyone is gonna be scared but you are powerful and dangerous, you are the king of the playground.

2. SHTF and what the f… am I going to do?

You wake up one morning and SHTF, you are devastated, waiting for electricity to come back to see on TV what is going on, while people outside demolishing local mall and taking home whatever is useful.

You are believing in government, law and order, „common sense“ and you simple do not understand preppers and all „conspiracy theorists“. Off course you do not believe in guns too, you think that everything can be solved in nice and civilized way. We are humans not animals and do not fight for food and survival with violence like animals do…

3. People who are prepared (preppers, survivalists…)

You know that great majority of stuff on TV and internet is fake and there only to form public opinion. You are preparing for bad days but also you are living your life as best as you can, because S. is going to hit the fan for sure. You do not want to belong to herd of consumers, and you want truth all the time, no matter how ugly can be. You are looking for people who think like you, it is hard to find them, but they are there. You are not wishing SHTF, but you are definitely not gonna be scared once when it comes.

FWIW, once a week I run tactical drills. I practice shooting from cover from multiple locations while engaging multiple targets. This means magazine changes while sending well placed rounds down range, both pistol and rifle.

I was very clumsy and slow at first, now it's second nature.

Again, I'm part of a group. We all have assigned duties and tasks. Security and defense is just one of my tasks.

I've seen movies all my life where there is a catastrophe, and the woman stands there and screams.

Well, to be fair, it DOES happen...

Right before the heroine knifes the zombie in the brains...

Most likely, it’ll be your brother who welcomes them in and shows them the Beanie Baby collection and everything else. His excuse will be, “but, but I didn’t know, whaaa!” as they’re slitting your thoat.
