Odd how mostly naive Americans seem to be prepping with expensive bunkers and such. While in countries very close to an agressive dictator people seem a lot more realistic.

Bought a Rambo knife replica. Can hunt everything with it. And even sew my own cuts.

Dude is smart. Great plan if you ask me. Zuckerberg is building something like a $200 million bunker. I bet he loves guns now.

The wisest prepper prepares for death. He establishes himself in the transcendent ground of his own Being which no fire can burn or water drown.

putting alot of your energy and resources in to something that has a very(extremly) small chance of happening seems pretty dumb to me.

Well, we got the pandemic preppers would have been salivating over for decades.

Who came for them? How many bullets did they use? How long did they remain in their bunker etc? Did any preppers perform a post analysis based on their first real world example?

If you are paranoid people are coming for you, shouldn’t the first question you ask yourself be what is it you have those people want? Therefore, the best prepped should be those who have nothing or limited value in items of interest.

Stocking up on years of food. Fuel. Medications. Bunker etc. you make yourself a massive target because you have so much. It will be 100-200 people coming for you at once with a mob mentality, not 1 or 2. You will be overwhelmed.

Smart telling everyone that you're at least 1000+ miles away from your survival bunker most of the year. Safe room in house, etc... fine. Second, out of the way property that you actual use? Doomsday bunker in the sticks? survivalist jack off fantasy. 

They tried stuff like this in the late 70s., Rogue River, Oregon was a big area for it, custom bunkers for the rich. Sometimes those bunkers come up for sale and they're usually wrecks - mold, rust, 50 year old appliances, burst pipes, snow damage.

Better to prepare for survival from the land than to horde copious amounts of foods. If shit really hits the fan, it won't last long.

The nature of genetic diversity. 1% of the population dumps 100% of their disposable income into something that has a 1% chance of being needed.There's a natural spectrum of neuroticism, which is how humans survive. In most generations being worried about survival is counter productive and is the kind of thing that causes you to be a beta that ends up outside the gene pool. However every once in a while the paranoid beta hits the jackpot and is the last man standing.

Nothing about being paranoid. It's being prepared. Is having insurance being paranoid? If someone carries a firearm or has one in there home is it paranoia or just being prepared?

Nothing wrong with having a kit, or a good supply of shit. But if you're actually doing it proper and having a store of 5-10 years worth of water and food, well you're hopefully wasting your time.

if you believe in God, Heaven, and the afterlife why bother going to these extreme lengths to survive in a destroyed apocalyptic world?

Provided you're a christian who talks about the afterlife, many Christians don't as far as I understand it?

Do you really want to be in heaven explaining why you couldn't get it together and save the species?

Not sure if I want my first day in heaven spent with god giving me the "I'm not angry just supremely disappointed" speech.

I think Saddam Hussein and Khadaffi found out bunkers weren't the safest places to hide when they come after you.

Each has the responsibility to live a conscious life. It is a lack of consciousness that lets the darkness rule and destroy this world.

I keep about a month's worth for 2. I won't survive extended catastrophe but how much do I really want to spend vs the decreasing likelihood of longer uncivilized periods. At some point I'm better off investing that money toward more likely contingencies.


If there's no clean water available after 30 days then there's some wild shit going on and I probably wouldn't want to stay put anyway.
