Reply #107: Nope not looking to prepare for an unlikely scenario [View All]

[Tom From Idaho]

1)not planning to overthrow the government
2)Not planning to exploit the neighbors pantry

what we are prepping for

1)Stopping the Neighbor from exploiting our pantry
2)Defending ourselves from express kidnappings. Happens quite a lot in Argentina, since they had their economic collapse. don't keep your head in the sand by assuming it's unlikely to happen here
3)Prepping for the possible future need for localized and organized militia (I DO NOT mean that in the negative way that that word has come to mean)
but for a SHTF kind of scenario where government completely collapses and all hell breaks loose. Cities and communities will continue to need to have order and defense, (cops will not be enough, especially if there is no money to pay them), defense from the ravages of angry, hungry, and desperate mobs of people who will take anything they can get (because they have been unprepared). Don't be so ignorant to think it can't or is unlikely to happen here. Considering the track record of the entire world, that no country has always existed, that most countries are short-lived, that all eventually collapse in one form or another, It is actually extremely likely that we will experience a SHTF scenario, Those who would be unprepared for defense as well as food and water would be foolish. Not trying to be a Doomsdayer, or try to fear people, but to teach others the need to prepare for any unexpected or expected danger or disaster, so that there will be less to fear.
