So what happens next?

[Prepper1]

Theres zero point in having any of what you said if you cant defend it.
Guns, spears, crossbows or whatever.
A fair few of us on this forum aim for the type of life you describe after.
The right of passage to get there will be hard and dangerous.
As b.p. Said the aim of being a prepper is to amass knowledge to enable you to survive come what may or at least have a better chance than your average sheeple. We amass skills and knowledge and stores in the hope that we never need to use them.
