Re: Helping the neighbours - in what situations....?

For me this would very much depend on the scenario and the cause of SHTF scenario. If it is pandemic, I/we are locked in, completely and long-term. Any attempted breach of that would be dealt with, with extreme prejudice. But it seems likely to me that any SHTF scenario worth more complex planning m...

The only reason I can see for anyone to do that is to assume that your view of any major collapse would be temporary/short-lived. Or that you would eek out the supply a little at a time as a treat or for that desperate all-nigh...

Re: Starting to get more and more tinfoil hatty. WW3?

I'd agree that any growing concerns that people may have are a sign of everything they see and hear and intuition fills in the gaps. I'm a firm advocate for intuition being your brain nudging you in the direction you should go based on probabilities and past experience that may not consciously be pr...
