Underestimate at your own risk.

Totally agree with you Scythe

Another example would be the type of person who has been successful in business. In a lot of cases they got where they are by using their inteligence and by being ruthless enough to climb over other people to get to their position. These people are often slagged off on prepping sites for going on foreign holidays instead of buying tins of Spam but if things do go tits up then a lot of them will apply the same inteligence, ruthlesness, organisational and leadership skills to their own survival. Further down the line these are the people who will be organising their own little fiefdoms

Anyone with a passing knowledge of history will know that it is littered with the corpses of people and nations that overestimated their own abilities and underestimated their enemies. You would have thought that as preppers we wouldn't be doing the same.
