The problem is that based on the comments elsewhere on the forum it's pretty clear that most preppers even ones that appear to be like minded can't be fully trusted, they can only be trusted to a point.
I don't want to discover that point, in my back one dark night.

I had (naively) hoped that if things got bad enough a group would split amicably each taking their own stuff and going their own way.
It's clear that when things get bad enough most preppers (even your 'trusted friends') will kill you for the tin of beans in your backpack.

Don't believe all the macho spoutings on line, if things get really bad, then the everything will be viewed in a very different light. Some who presupposed lone wolf tendancies will be glad of companionship & co-operation. Others who professed mutual support, will only look out for themselves. As I have suggested before, take every situation on its merits at the time and act accordingly & wisely. Getting to know people thoroughly beforehand is the surest way. Studying past human reactions in scenarios of long term disaster events will give you some guidance on possible human interactions. Safe travels. TL
