Shtf idea

[BREATHER]

These types of posts are entertaining. That being said with all do repect. All my relatives and my wifes relatives live 1900 miles away so they are on their own. Here it is just me and her and maybe the widder lady behind us iffn such a scenerio develops. And of course our dogs.

It's not that any of us here are wierd, we just got a "we know whats going on around us" way of thinking. There may never be a SHTF stuff. But the natural disaster or weather related misshaps are the reality.

Funny story,,, My wife started thinking about SHTF scenerios and I don't know why. She doesn't read any of these forums that I go to. But she has gotten into a self suffient mind set. She's looking for wilderness properties, solar, geothermal , composting toilets etc. Maybe it was a Vulken mind meld....

Depending on the situation of course...

If you aren't moving around and have some sort of camp/base then people who may not be able to hunt/fish/build a camp fire can provide support in a lot of other aspects. Chopping wood, sewing clothes, preparing food, and stand watch at night for example. In the real world those little ankle bitter dogs aren't much use in a fight yet they can bark to sound the alarm.


Even the elite military units rely on team work. You can be the baddest mofo in the state with super ninja mountain skills but you have to sleep sometime. What if you are the one that slips or falls and breaks an ankle?

As mentioned trust is the biggest issue.

Indeed, teams are important. Even extremely small groups will get stressed out as not having enough people to have security watches, etc. For all those that have been in the military everyone knows that SOF work in teams, but also rely on teams of support for them to accomplish their missions
