Woo Hoo! Now, I have my shtf stock and practice rounds (gotta maintain proficiency) Woo Hoo! Caldwellians are considerably calmer than their Wataugite neighbors. Caldwell is full of well armed hicks who ain't worried about "farn" virii while the carpetbaggers of Watauga County are spooked, scrambling for food and weapons, kinda like the proverbial chicken sans head. "Government will save us". Ha He Ho Ha Ha, y'all thunk we prepperizers were kooks; whooz laff'n now ya dinguses?
Resident Yank here. I, for one, never thought the preppers were kooks, at least for their prepping. Some of them are kooky for different reasons. But I found nothing wrong with prepping in itself. It's a far better practical strategy than relying, as you said, on the authorities to "take care" of us.
How far do you take prepping?
