doomsday prepper.

Hi All

I have been watching a program called doomsday preppers and it is litterally about American's views on what the "doomsday" will look like and how they are preparing for it, obviously being American they prep to the extreme, I am starting to think that maybe a little prepping is a good idea, I'm pretty sure my wife would think I am crazy but surely it doesn't hurt to have a couple of weeks at least worth off food water and medicine, not enough to make me a target though. Also maybe I should have a "bug out" plan of meeting places and possible escape scenarios?

Am I crazy? Does anyone hear practice any prepping?

Debatable.

Thanks

All those that think it is stupid will be sorry if something does happen and me and my family have a glut of food, water and medical supplies and you are having to eat your friends and family and drink your own urine

There was a thread on this a few months ago. I think the poster had a mate who had a bunker and had stocked it with stuff to survive an apocalypse since he was a total nutter who thought the world economy was about to collapse due to the debt crisis and we would all be thrown into some kind of Fallout scenario. I believe either that guy or the poster was buying gold/silver as they believed this would be the new form of currency in the post-apocalyptic world. Then people pointed out that no-one would give a crap about gold/silver, people would be bartering with food and tools.

Fuel will be a very good bartering substance.

To be fair, living in Harlow it can feel like doomsday has happened. I'd stock up on weapons, but only because it's Harlow!

A typical storford snob, we are virtually right next to you so we cant be all that differant, except you have a lot of air hostess's and we do not , Harlow does seem to have a bad name but I was born and raised in Harlow, never been beaten up, mugged, burgled etc and neither have most of my family.

Let me pose a question to you all, obviously if we were to have some sort of complete social and economical breakdown we would all have to do things we would never normally do to stay alive, do you think someone with children to protect and look after is more likely to go that extra mile?

I believe so, individualy I would have a survival instinct but when it come to my children I would literally go to ANY lengths to protect and feed them.
