Just because other people have different priorities, doesn't mean they are nuts.
Living with chickens and goats on property is a lifestyle that some on FR do, for various reasons that have nothing to do with TSHTF.
Sounds like a little N. Dallas snootiness is creeping in there. I've lived in N. Dallas, I can say that. ;)

Investing significant time and effort on an event with infinitesimal odds of occurrence is nuts.
Raising goats and chickens in rural areas to consume and/or sell them makes a lot of sense. Raising them in your apartment, condo or suburban house makes no sense at all.
As I tried to say — if your natural lifestyle is one that lends itself to post-apocalyptic success, great. But changing your entire lifestyle to handle the Zombie Apocalypse or Red Dawn or Civil War II or WW IV or other SHTF scenario is nuts.
That is why I come on these threads — to help people see that preparedness need not consume your life but smart planning for emergencies is always a good idea.
But I do laugh a bit when I see the dire predictions of civilization collapse. We ain’t nor never will be Serbia or Syria.

LOL — I was born in Hollywood and lived most of my adult life in Malibu. As my wife says, “Dallas is a ranchito.”
Nice place, love the people, happy to live here, but “snooty” is NOT a word that I can ever imagine being applied to Valley Ranch, Coppell, Grapevine or other points N.
