RE: What is TS doesn't HTF?
What a good scenario, personally if I reach 90 I'll be more than happy either way.
However why does eveyone one who knows I prep (family only) think I would want to survive the nuclear holocaust and I'm secretly praying for a major war or event. It couldn't be further from the truth, why would I want to give up the comforts that I have now to live in a tent and preach that "I told you so". Why would I want my kids to suffer and go without what I grew up with, comfort, ease, medication. Like everyone else has said the fact that we can breathe a little bit easier knowing we have the forethought to put that little extra aside just in case SHTF, Christ everyone I know has house and possibly life insurance, it's just that we preppers also have food, tool and skills insurance put aside as well.
Who says we have to forfeit foreign hols, yeah its been a few years since I had one, but thats my own paranoia about the kids getting ill or taking a fall abroad rather than an event occuring whilst I'm away. I Got ill in Turkey years ago and spent 3 days in hospital, just couldn't imagine my kids ill in a foreign country where I don't speak the lingo.
On a positive note we aren't prepping for the one event we are prepping for all events, my own journey into prepping started one night when we had no water coming out the taps, yeah it was back on by the morning, but it got me thinking about all possibilites. A few weeks back the leccy went off in out town, ok it was the middle of summer and no one froze, but we the family who had the genny to power the fridge/freezer for the next 8hrs, we were the family who had the cooking equipment so we didn't have to get the bbq on the go and ours was the house with enough candles and lanterns to get by when darkness fell.
Prepping to me isn't about surviving an event, prepping is just where I left off after the scouts.
