Preppers and Apocalypse/Dystopian Survivalists, What is Your Endgame?

we'll have fermented lechuguilla, we will be fine.

In all honesty, this topic has come up a lot in conversations with people lately. I think the real possibility of hard times coming has people thinking more about it. It never hurts to start small with a few supplies and work up to sustainable. A little here and there can go along ways. Knowing people with similar interest in your area can be a big asset itself. Doing anything alone can usually be made easier with the right help.

I was raised in an old frame house on pier and beams and didn’t know what a commode was until I started school. We took a bath in the milk room of the dairy barn and used Sears&Roebuck catalogs to wipe our azzes. We ate cornbread and raw milk many nights, anything else was a treat. I ain’t worried about any SHTF scenario, I’ve already lived my life, I’m just coasting now.

Think about an in between event. Not complete thermonuclear war nor alien invasion nor dinosaur ending asteroid but maybe China uses EMPs to take out a vast majority of our power grid. Or our own government abolishes the 2nd amendment and there is some sort of civil uprising you and your family want to escape. How do you ensure your and your family are safe until things return to normal? Do you want to be lost in the chaos with the vast majority of the population or do you want to "bug out" and increase your odds of survival?

“Prepping” has a certain stereotype due to media.

But yes if you have family you owe it to them to be prepared.

Give us in public safety / emergency response a break and, don’t be another problem we gotta fix due to your poor planning

Hurricanes, ICE storms, water main breaks, covid TP & it’s issues, heat waves…etc.

Having minimum 3 weeks of food and a few months of cash on hand is something emergency management agencies all recommend.

Stock up stuff you will actually eat.

No 'prepping' required here. If I somehow survive the nuclear blasts, diseases, alien invasion, or whatever, I have enough experience to be alright. If I don't make it through whatever happens....well, thank God, I'll be better off.

I don't want to waste my time now preparing for an impending apocalypse. Things are pretty swell on my little piece of earth.

"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34-35

I'd fight through any conventional war or invasion, or EMP, but I'd like to check out to the good Lord above before I have to start fighting the cockroaches for crumbs after a nuclear holocaust.

Everyone should prep to live 1-6 months with no or limited infrastructure in place. All it takes is one mouse click from another country and we have no electricity. It wouldn’t be a world in complete ruins.

This. There are 1,000 events that could happen that may not be world ending but somewhere in between. Including just a deep depression.

I don't understand why someone would not be prepared. Isn't your job as a man to prepare and protect your family? It's not like it cost a lot, probably a lot less than one spends hunting one year.


But heck yes I want to be alive if 90+% of the worlds population is gone. Endless fishing and hunting places.

And human would be extinct in one generation.

I'd give it hell though

I completely agree that everyone should be prepared for everything from natural disasters up to maybe a year of self-reliant survival with limited resources.

I’m more curious about the modifications to continue on if civilization has truly collapsed and for the next 100 plus years you and your descendants will be forced to live without global or even regional commerce, security, modern medicine, etc.

Heck some of y’all won’t even hunt in the Texas winter without a heater in the blind. Are you prepared to go through generations of instability and subject your offspring to a significantly more challenging existence?

I think if a few billion people died and I lived id be in paradise. Significant number of Americans suck and if they all fertilized to soil id be ok with it. I prep not for the end of the world, I prep for the end of America. When the collapse happens I’ll at least have enough food and water, supplies to last long enough to adapt.

I plan on just joining the robots. Even if I have to do things i don't really want to do. Sorry guys
