lately it's everywhere you look..
doomsday preppers, bunkers, apocalypse, 2012, several survival based television shows etc.
is the end near? who knows...
it's quite obvious that the majority of hardcore preppers are lunatics and IMO storing 2 years worth of food will not save your life in the face of danger.
mental preparation would be of the utmost importance IMO (the more you know the less you need).
it also seems apparent that these loonies don't know the first thing about true survival.
for instance, the fat woman who claims she'll be the only person needing to lose 100 pounds when the end of the world comes.
is it just me or is that a completely ridiculous statement?
she almost seems opposed to losing some damn weight and in a true survival situation endurance and health are more important than stock piling food/guns.
don't get me wrong firearms and firearm training is important but that alone will not protect you.
knowledge is power.
anyway, if we're preparing for something we should be preparing our minds and bodies.
i will openly admit that things are shaky these days.
my question is, do you believe that we face inevitable danger? if so what preparations have you made thus far (whether mental or material)?
learning is key and just basic survival skills alone are more important that hoarding supplies. i should make note that im not against gear preparation to some extent but there's obviously such thing as overkill. another fact is that the more you have the more danger you will be in trying to protect it.
spending several thousands of dollars (especially in this economy) on survival gear is most definitely a gamble and if nothing ever happens it isn't worth jack.
sure i'll have a some guns, ammo, knives, sharpening equipment, flashlights, batteries, matches, lighters, fire steels and other various supplies but to rely solely on gear is foolish. agree or disagree???
