What is a SHTF situation?

RE: What is a SHTF situation?
Using that logic then Highlander, even the film The Road, wouldn't be depicting a SHTF situation. It would have simply depicted everyday life, where people eat each other, because crops aren't growing, or anything like that. It would just be everyday life.

I get what you're saying, but feel there's much more to calling something a SHTF situation, that we realise. It's a term thrown around so often that it's become a meaningless scenario.

If the government pushed in Martial Law, and 7pm Curfews, and stuff like that, it would be normal life after the first month. Living as a Jew in Nazi Germany, a few years before WW2, that was normal life, but to the Jews it was a SHTF situation. If you can imagine yourself saying "TSHTF we need to get out of here!" Then you leave and get to a new safer destination.....then you're right, it was a SHTF situation. If it permanently changes the way you live, that's an EOTWAWKI situation. But a SHTF, can be localised, temporary, OR permanent...in which case it is also an EOTWAWKI scenario.

Does that make sense?
