You have no idea how much cake a 16 stone massively active guy can eat!!!

Where about are you moving from and where to?

There's not a lot of stuff I wouldn't do for a months worth of cake!!!

I totally get what you're saying. It's not that I disagree, but I'm just inquisitive and probably don't have the full picture.

My thought on that is that not everyone has good skills that would be helpful post STHF. Anyone on this forum could do most things, but if someone was going to do something to save me time and effort, I'd pay them. However, if someone came along with no skills that would be of benefit, then it would be an issue for me. If an accountant came along and wanted some tampons or something for his misses. What if he has no skills except pen pushing? I'm not going to expect him to mend my shoes well, or anything like that. All I can really see him doing is getting really upset and aggressive. Which will inevitably end in him or me getting hurt.

Back years ago people had skills and qualities that made them useful in a group. But it's as Weyoun said, some people have no uses in society after TSHTF (I think he called up bailifs and tax collectors among others). I certainly wouldn't be paying them to keep an eye out and be lookouts for me so that I can get a good nights rest. I'm not trusting many, if any, to do that kind of thing.
