Is this where I'm supposed to be both impressed and jealous?  If so, sorry, I'm neither.

Just comparing and contrasting your "real world" to mine.  Yours seems pretty dismal from virtually any perspective.

What it shows is you think you're immune to the bad things in the world and I realize I'm not and prepare.  Now don't confuse being prepared with worrying about it or being in a panic, there is a difference.  Hate to tell you this Ex but if things go sour, and I hope they don't, you may find yourself needing to depend on some of these people you spend so much time putting down for your very survival and all your "financial preparation" will do you do good at all.  Well, burning paper will keep you warm for a bit though.

Aw, that you think you are better prepared for a shit-hits-the-fan type of scenario than I am is adorable!

Oh, I keep forgetting you went to college which makes you better prepared for EVERYTHING.  You certainly are full of yourself aren't you?

I wasn't even thinking of that.  I was more focused on things like stored food, access to clean water, arms and ammunition, weapons and tactical training, first aid supplies, overall physical condition, etc...you know, practical things that will keep a person alive in an emergency.

Along with the knowledge to "make" bullets, cook the food, what plants around you are safe to eat or be used as first aid remedies.  Having what you need, in case you have to be on the move, contained and light weight.  There is indeed a lot to it including always having a "plan B".

In a doomsday scenario, there is one single factor which trumps all others in separating the survivors from those who will not: the ability and willingness to use violence.

True and I "think" I would be able to if threatened.  I know I could if a family member or friend were threatened.
