Co-operation or Die?

[T-oddity]

I'm all for co-operation, but in our modern western society we are surrounded by individuals who are self centred and self serving with an attitude of have it now and instant gratification, with very little regard for others or consequences for the future, who will take what they can and sod the rest. I think post SHTF it will take some time before we modern humans figure out why our ancestors banded together into small communities and it will be difficult to know who you can rely on and trust. I'm very fortunate has I already have family and good friends who are like minded and would naturally gravitate together to help each other in an event and we are already in an informal way prepping together as a group, but unless it something you do before an event I think it is going to be far harder to do post SHTF.
