Where Most Prepping Falls Short:

[MaryN]

I can completely see your point, John - just one problem..... we are a vastly overpopulated little island and for some time after a SHTF scenario there will be a lot of people in search of food - any food - and the hunter/gatherer techniques, while a worthy thought, will be pointless enough if there is no food to hunt or gather. I suspect people will try to eat all sorts of things in desperation and without knowledge, but by doing so will deprive others of sources of food.

I don't wish to be overly pessimistic, but unless the masses decide to remain in and die in the cities the rest of us will be screwed!
