17. I have a good car and family in other areas, if anything happens I will just go stay with them.
18. I work all week long and I am going to spend my extra money on fun rather than fear.
19. Survival supplies taste bad, I can’t live on this for long at all.
20. If a true catastrophe occurs we are going to die anyway, besides that I don’t want to live through it anyway.
21. Survival and prepping for the worst is negative, as long as I stay positive, only the positive will happen.
22. Preppers/Survivalists are radical, paranoid, conspiracy driven out of touch with reality, I don’t want anything to do with them.
23. I don’t know why everyone is so worried, times are better and safer now than ever in human history.
24. There is so much to prepping, I’ll take my chances that nothing will happen.
25. All my investments go right into what makes me money and gives me security for the future.
26. Why bother storing up that much food and supplies, mobs will just come in and take it.
27. I have a refrigerator and a cupboard full of food, 2 cases of water, a 12 pack of toilet paper, I am all set.
28. If something happens I will just run to the grocery store and stock up before it closes.
29. If we become sick after a disaster we have good medical treatment centers that will care for us.
30. Nothing is as bad as it ever seems, stop overblowing everything as doomsday.
31. If disaster strikes everybody will band together and save the day.
32. People have become way too civilized to wage a world war and take what you have and act like savages.
33. There are food banks and emergency preparedness places nearby to me, they will take care of us.
34. FEMA , the Red Cross, and other government agencies are huge and have the whole country backing them.
35. I can always wait until tomorrow to start prepping, there is always time.

36. I’ll just stock up on weapons and take what I need from others.

Simply put, “It’s too hard! Waaaa!”

People are lazy. They won’t get off their butts or learn and do. It is easier to be dismissive and say “the government will take care of things”, or “it won’t happen”.

We have a good supply of stuff ready to assemble. My kids and their families are on board and ready to hunker down here. We have the space, and we welcome their resources.

In our area, we can hunt, we have seeds, ammo, well and pump, etc. We’ll make it. This is a preppers thread. Most of us are ready to go.

It’s the idiot you need ammo for. They’ll be no sweat to a prepared prepper.
