I see there is still the same old idea about that some individuals have in that they will never be surprised. In that no one would ever get to their property - unless they walked up a road or were spotted by a 24 hour surveillance team. Not everyone uses dogs or they might not have survived. Not everyone has multiple able bodied folks to carry out all desired actions or foxholes already dug at their multiple bug out options. Not everyone is a dumb ass who will approach in a normal way. What if you get caught with your pants down - literally?
It is accepted that "most" preppers agree that bugging out IS an option, even as a last resort. It could happen during the bug out or any time a new location has to be aquired or lived at. So why is it that some preppers seem to have trouble conceiving that they might be on the end of some other clued up dudes recce and so would not be the one initiating the contact. If this concept is so unthinkable to the prepper who perceives they have every angle covered, then I think they are over confident and not as fully prepped as they think....
Just imagine hearing these lines while out back of your shelter & skinning a rabbit for the family pot indoors -- "Alright mate - got any food to spare?"
What then? 300 yard headshot with your uber sniper rifle or pull out your cold steel machete from its sheath or go into an alpha male rage and win the day?? What now - is the only option to immediately physically attack? How does this fit with our evolution? All the military type bravado wording & paraphrases on forums will be of little tactical use in this situation. What about your family indoors..
Do you attack without a second thought? Do you respond verbally? What if they appear unarmed? What if they appear armed with guns? What if they are armed but appear non threatening? What is your best response? What if you are impaired due to ill health or injury? Can you even consider this scenario or would it never happen to you? Or is it easier just to say "well you'd never really know till it happened, so you would just have to deal with it then"? This last logic could be applied to everything else as well and is the antithesis of the prepping mindset. Thankyou in advance for your most interesting & thought provoking replies. , TL.
