Having a survival kit for your redneck (Zombie / Red Dawn / Nuclear war / Anarchy) apocalypse survival fantasy = 'Murica.

I should have started selling this gear online years ago

One persons crazy is another persons normal. My "emergency kit" definitely contains firearms / ammunition.

Look at what happened during hurricane Katrina when people were out of food / water / shelter.... they'll get it by any means necessary, sucks for them cause they wont be getting mine~

Yeah that distinction is not so much about what you pack, as it is about your mentality.

I wonder, out of all these people who packed thousands of dollars worth of guns and ammunition to shoot desperate people, who packed extra supplies to help the desperate?

Also in this situation the people who win wouldn't be those with the most guns/ammo, but the people with the most connections / biggest or most well-organized group. You won't be getting attacked by a bunch of soloists like you, it would be groups of extended family clans / small ad hoc social networks. Humans are an extremely gregarious, social race. The individualism that characterizes our high-tech society would break down along with everything else.

So really the best 'prepping' you could do would be to have a very healthy, wide, and close-knit social circle of people who are also 'prepared'.

Agreed for sure, but it definitely makes you less of a target when you're able to defend yourself vs the guy that cant.

Well, the people who stocked the food will be teaming up with the people who stocked up on guns and ammunition.

You can use the ones people use in their fish tanks if that helps for easy access

Yes, silly. What do you think looting is for?

(I have clearly read waayyy too many post-apocalyptic novels... They always end up raiding pharmacies.) [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
