Trusting strangers

[Highlander]

I suppose time scale comes into it.....within say 8 months pshtf things might be different....even then ....i would not trust anyone....after all they have survived ....could be a prepper? or a real bad arse .....or both

This is the real answer to this question,..., we prep to live though a situation, not to be isolated for years when we dont need to be,.. there has to be a time when its all over and you have survived.

You might still not trust,..I wouldnt, but I still think there will come a time when you will have to test the waters, a time when you come to the surface,... how long that might be will be up to individuals.

The chances are that anyone who has survived after 8 months or so, will have been a preper, because prepers also think about their security,...if someone has survived by taking from others,... well I think most people will see signs of that

...and beside, your stores might well be running out after 8 months, and you maybe forced out
