When it comes to the hypothetical situations of SHTF and chaos ensues, many people have an idea of what will happen. Whether it’s in survivalist literature, or it’s reinforced through pop culture – there are many theories.
Think about the books that have been written about survival after a natural disaster, or our favorite post-apocalyptic television shows. Also, think about the common fears that most preppers have when it comes to the end of civilization.
And when you really take the time to evaluate these theories, you might find that some of them are probably complete BS.
To separate myth from reality, preppers should question these common assumptions.
After the break find out the answers, and learn how to separate common opinion from complete prepper BS.

Idk I disagree. If you prepare yourself in an environment outside of “town” there’s no reason one can’t survive 4-6 years. If you only prep for 3 days that’s all you’ll get. If you prep for 4-6 years or beyond. That’s what you’ll get.
william… i am disagreeing with the idea of ‘marauding; at all… by definition that is looting and stealing… and can understand the ‘looting’ if your are nomadic, and find a stash… but come into my region with the intent of helping your selves to my supplies…and only one of us are goin to be needing those supplies,,, i am not looking for a fight, my plan is ride it out right where i am) a small wound with out medical help could become serious quite quickly… and difficult to forage for what you need with a bullet wound anywhere… but will fight if you try to maraud my stash….
Getting out of the city and living ing the Mountains or woods is probably the smartest move you could make. Should something as drastic as a complete financial meltdown occur,law and order I’d going to collapse very quickly. Stay in the city and you will die in the city. There are just too many gangs and too many bad people. Remember one thing,” there is a very thin line between law and order and total chaos”. ADVICE. Do what you can while you still can. There are far to many conspiracy theories out there for them all not to be true. Just look how our world has changed over the last 5 years… Start prepping.
I have realized the error of my ways by letting my neighbors know that I grow and can my own food, that I have case after case of these canned goods stored away and such. My concern is that in any short OR long term SHTF scenario is that these neighbors will come to me for help. Now, I am all about helping each other out in a time of crisis, however, when it comes down to being able to provide for my family for several weeks (or maybe even a few months) with the supplies I have or only being able to do so for a few days because I have doled out my goods to others, I am going to provide for my family. It is questionable at best to suggest that you move close to town and set up your homestead there. I have one neighborhood to contend with. Someone following your suggestion would have a whole community showing up at their doorstep looking for handouts. Sorry, I am struggling to provide for my own family as it is. I simply cannot provide for everybody else as well.
I agree with a lot, my main concern is rol…if the situation esculates past the ponr then military and police will act as a containment fence leaving many to fend for themselves for an unknown period of time. Reguarldess of the situation self preservation will always be the 1st law of nature and people will adhere to that before they are willing to step in front of the horde to help a stranger
No idea what you’re trying to say here. I click through 3 pages for #1 and #2 on your list and got TIRED OF THE DAMN CLICKBAIT! Isn’t 2-3 pages full of ads enough to give us the ENTIRE STORY instead of spreading it out over a DOZEN PAGES OF ADS? SMDH
Its wise to disregard the majority of posts on this page….
