Where Most Prepping Falls Short:

[bigpaul]

the "die off" is not my invention, it has been remarked and discussed on many prepping and survival blogs and websites, google them and read for yourself. actually without the land available and with no imports we NEED a large die off as we cannot hope to feed everyone(we also need a clear out of the gene pool but that's a separate discussion!) and if no die off we really have got a much bigger problem than if there was one. what about the plague/black death? that wiped out about 40% of the population and we have a larger, more closely packed, more travelled, population these days so infection would spread more easily.

what about Ebola/Swine flu/Avian flu etc etc?

it wont be the likes of Mr Dyson or Mr Branson hanging around to pick up the pieces after "the collapse", that sort will be long gone along with the politicos to their private islands, what we will be left with will be the "flotsam and jetsam" the dregs of society, the sort that you saw in the Autumn riots of 3 years ago, the sort you see in the Anarchy protests or the sort you see in Furguson USA. I don't know about you DEV but i'll be "bugged out" and hunkered down away from all the idiots and those" mainlining in stupid".
