My brother and I call them ‘zoo people’. They are used to having everything handed to them, never having to really worry about anyone hunting them, there is always food, water, medicine readily available, always an awning to hide under when it rains.

Zero situational awareness in urban areas, I don’t know how they even survive in modern world. For sure they would either have to learn fast or die in even a localized SHTF situation.

"My brother and I call them ‘zoo people’."

I was taught to try and freeze the enemy with a loud shout-a ki ai, 気合, really.

Now that I'm aging, people are sometimes able to walk right up on me without my noticing. That often causes me to shout and move into a defensive posture, usually startling the crap out of whoever startled me. It's embarrassing, really, both that people are able to walk up on me unnoticed and that I react that way.

People age differently, but years bring decrements in one's superpowers. I probably won't survive long in SHTF, but I try to keep the family together so I can do what I can for them. We only have 3 1/2 trigger pullers, counting my oldest daughter and youngest son as 1/4 each. (That's a matter of temperament, not training)

My son-in-law says we can graft onto his extended family if SHTF, but I wonder. My wife and I never see any of them socially, and I have no reason to think they regard our nucleus as an adjunct branch of their family.
