> Good if society collapses

If society actually collapses, you really don’t want to be the person with lots of highly-demanded resources.

You'd prefer to be one with none of the resources?

    Look at actual societal collapses. The starting position of the resources within the map is almost irrelevant.

    • You do you, but I will keep my X months of food, water, and warm shelter even it makes me a "target".

      Besides, the first rule of being prepared, is you don't talk about being prepared.

Have you personally been through a major disaster? Talking federal state of emergency declared, electrical grid is down for weeks, data networks overcrowded, shipments bottlenecked?

I ask because I see so much resistence to good prep online but never from people who've been through disasters.

  • That’s disaster prep. It’s rational. Preparing for society’s collapse is not. (If you want to prepare for society’s collapse, what this article’s protagonist trains for is closer to what you want to master than kitting out a glorified man cave.)
