If you live in the city, you will have big problems if anything goes wrong, because your neighbors problems become your problems.
If you live out in the sticks and prepare, there is a lot of room for error—and most likely your neighbors will be preppers just like you (whether they call themselves that or not).
Big Tech doesn’t say to help them, just report them.
I live in a rural area, but tend to keep my mouth shut about my preps.
👍
Yeah I lean more towards your train of thought than what the article suggests.
What type of issues do you mean? I’m not being snarky; I simply don’t understand your point.
The waitress at the restaurant I ate at today (a no mask no distancing state) was complaining that the walmart was a 1/2 hour drive. The town is a ways out.
Sure, one example—your urban apartment complex has dozens of people who do not have enough food and can’t get any.
Are you going to feed them or ignore them? Bad choices you don’t want to have to make.
I gave my sister a trillion dollar zimbabwe note for her birthday. She didn’t get it, but she loves demented joe and won’t hear the truth.
OMG! That is a picture of white supremacy!
In an urban environment, when the ghetto rats get hungry, they are going to go to where the food is, and try to take it. It’s not like they have full pantries and freezers — many eat takeout on a daily basis.
Where will they figure there is food? Where the white people are. They will go from building to building, kicking in doors, unless the building is defended well enough.
If you are rural, it’s not that huge an advantage ... gang bangers have cars, and they can concentrate a crowd against an isolated farmhouse.
Might want to start with water and TP.
The horror that a few responsible folks happen to be white.
Too bad...
“tend to keep my mouth shut about my preps.”
I always trust the government. All you need is 3 days of food, right?/s
“Food (at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food)”
Rural means a long distance from the cities.
Rural means hard to get to, far away from interstates and major roads.
Nobody comes out here looking for trouble, because nobody comes out here at all....
The perfect is the enemy of the good—you just want to stack the odds in your favor as best you can.
The first rule of Prep Club is don’t talk about Prep Club.
L
Exactly—and that is why the original article is extremely dumb.
You don’t talk to _anybody_ about your preps.
I see you mean to not turn on too many lights at night if you have a generator humming, etc, or mentioning your stash too often. Mum's the word.
I mean do not mention your stash at all—ever.
We do not have a generator because in these parts you can hear a generator five miles away—I kid you not.
There are a few people in town who have them, and everybody knows exactly who they are—you don’t want to be that person.
I have to agree. Plus, why do people bring their stuff back outside to take picture in a clean basket when they have obviously spent a long time at the sink gleaning and cleaning up a few choice items?
