Security is one of the main pillars of prepping along with shelter food and water. In some countries and in some societies it has more importance than others. In the US there are estimated to be over 200 million privately owned firearms add in those of the military and you have about 350 million or one for every man woman and child in the country. In SHTF situation in the US is almost a certainty that any assailants would be armed with firearms. Hence the importance placed on this aspect in this US survey.
In the UK this is definitely not the case. Assailants would most likely not be armed with firearms. So forming an alliance with a few neighbors (the bigger the better) to protect your respective homes would be more than equivalent to being very well armed in the US.
How prepared are you? Prepper survey.

Re: How prepared are you? Prepper survey.
Well I scored 4-8 months...
Based on the fact ive got a lot of water available to me scored high but a lack of guns and ammo will kill me off!..lol.
As, most of us here in the UK wont have firearms im guessing it will even the playing field a little..lol
Got to organise my garden this year and get fresh veg n fruit growing better!

Re: How prepared are you? Prepper survey.
I took in to account that we have a fishing lake literally 10 mins up the road... but just thinking about how to solve the issue for a lot of ppl who have a garden at least.. get a pop up swimming pool, they come in all sizes and would collect rain water/provide a bathing area/and can be moved as required..seamus1979 wrote:200 gallons a year for each person?
who has a home to accomodate that?
i live near a lake and a fast flowing stream so i will be using that i guess

Well done Deamcatcher. If you take into account the cultural difference you score is actually considerably higher.

Thank's ICRCC. The water storage let me down a bit, but I picked up on the Firearms section, which I guess a lot of folks in the UK would not be able to do.
