Has Selco talked about the worst thing he had to do in survival? Societal collapse changes preconceptions of right and wrong if you want to stay alive right? I wonder what his worst eperience was that challenged his self perception and what his advice is on how one avoids becoming a monster too.
I was lucky, my family was big in that time (15 members in one big house, 5-6 pistols, 3 Kalashnikov s)...for 1 corned beef can you could have woman for couple of hours(sounds bad, but it was reality)...candles, lighters,antibiotics,fuel,batteries, rifle ammo and of course food, we fight like animals for that...It is not important witch side had right in that war...there were normal people like you and me, fathers, granddads, decent folks, who robed and killed, there was not too much good and bad guys, most of us was gray, ready for everything...one more example, i am a registered nurse...that was not Cristian vs Muslim war, it was civil war, with lot of switching between sides...i am not going into religious stories,...i am not belong to any dogma, Muslim or Christian...be sure, you are going to do some bad things to save your kid...I am nurse, also i am paramedic...In case of weapon keep it simple, i mean now i always carry Glock 45 with me, because i like that gun, but it is not usual gun and usual caliber here, so i also have two 7,62 mm TT russian pistols hidden...you need to be prepared to do some ugly things...I don’t anymore believe government and authority, not at all...i am not here to discuss...religion or anything similar...i have lot of alcohol stacked now...i did not notice a lot pets in that time, did somebody ate it? I don t know, probably...my wife is different ethnicity, and she is also a Catholic, i am not, and to answer you : no i am not going to shoot her...Hm, i had a lot of alcohol as i mentioned before, i traded almost everything without any problem, let me say it like this: consumption of alcohol was probably 10 times more than in normal time...When your friend must choose between his child s death and your death quess who is going to choose...If i can give some advice: first to prep is a weapon and ammo...in the first period weak people vanished, other fight...Get in your prepper storage some reanimation kit (simple one)...people need alcohohol more in desperte times then usual, so it is kind of gambling i guess...Thing is i had all that alcohol for free...
