What we can learn from Crimea

[Nix]

Great post LL, thanks for that.

I raised my eyebrows over the coffee thing cos I don't drink tea or coffee but it made me appreciate it's value for any SHTF scenario. Reminded me of an instance where some people were given the opportunity to prep for a long duration survival in the wilderness. From what I remember, most couldn't hack it and had to give up simply cos of nicotine withdrawals! They had food and water but couldn't do without their coffin nails. Makes you appreciate how addicted people are to commodities that are taken for granted. Sugar is another one.

Great to hear that people are helping each other out, I'm very encouraged by that. People going totally solo would have a tough time but small communities/groups/neighbourhoods pulling together have a much better chance as history has shown. Well done the people in Crimea!

Gotta agree with RW, there's an awful lot of truth in what he says. Very sad.
