(Ex did provide me with tons of ammo for my mini-14 and MREs, etc on 9/11...bless his heart) course I did have his two sons with me so most likely they were more for them than me. But no, don't know anyone else 'cept for fellow ATS'rs...

Wow, big smile, thank you! Yeah, our sons are smart and totally into "preparedness" to the point of almost distracton for me, but I respect it...I mean why not? It's almost like they were meant to be, brought into this world at this time. And I'm crazy cool mom and respect my sixteen year old's point of view and I tell him, you know, how many moms take their kids out shopping for supplies/food?
He could be doing a whole lot worse, if you know what I mean...

I'm not, i dont know what coming. but when it comes then i'll know. if i'm willed to live then somehow i will survive if not then so be it. whats the point of preparing when you might die anyway. let things sort themselves out.
i'll probably loot. in times of chaos its better when you have nothing to lose!
This is exactly how I feel too!
It's all scripted, all I have to do is go with the flow.
My wife gets SCARED simply because I have these preparations!! She doesn't even wanna see 100 cans of tuna and a 25 lb bag of beans, much less a camo pack with an axe and bunch of stuff in the pockets.
none of us have any clue what is going to happen, or most importantly WHEN, so the best thing to do is prepare mentally, and minimally.

It's really very simple.
Some people just don't care about themselves or their loved ones enough to even make any attempt to save themselves in the event of any kind of emergency.

Ya,.
It is just funny to me how some people give up so easily like mwood said,.
and let someone else take care of them,.
AS I used the example of Katrina ,. look at how good the government took care of them at
that situation.
Yes buying small amounts at a time would be the best way to address it on a tight budget.
But doing nothing IS just giving up,.
And if someone still believes there is nothing wrong with our world and things are fine,.
Well,.. good luck to them

i'd like to stock up or be prepared for something, but people think i'm wierd enough already.
also i'm pretty lazy.
anyway i'm sure i could benefit from looting for as long as your preperations will last you.
hard work and good intentions are not rewarded in this life. but i wish you good luck anyway.
