Idiots who stop by the grocery to get something for dinner EVERY NIGHT on their way home from work?

Those who freaked out at the toilet paper shortage of 2020...

Those would be the ones that have never heard the term “diaper pail” or the post pamper generation.

Self described .............
I know a lot of people who (for example) identify as a carpenter , and I would not let them frame a dog house for me .
I suppose that anyone can say or even think that they are survivalist.......it just doesn`t make it true .
I know several people with that claim that would more than likely be dead after a 3 day event .

Hmmm……can I use that argument when speaking about transgenders?

Living paycheck to paycheck IS being a survivalist these days!

Heck, making it through the pandemic lockdowns and mandates is survivalist. People shopping for groceries are survivalists.

One can of baby formula on the shelf? The survivalist is the one who crawls over the bodies to come away with it.

At least 65% of hoosiers are urban dwellers. So it’s not just rural people claiming to be survivalists. I would suggest that baked into that 50% is at least a few urban youtube addicts living vicariously through their favorite survivalist youtuber. Wanting to be is almost the same as is.

I work with 18 people. 2 of us are what I would consider “preppers/survivalist, and that guy looks at me like I’m crazy sometimes.

No one looks at me like I’m crazy because of opsec…

It is crazy to expect much when most don’t even cover simple bases. Have a friend that shows horses and has a 45 foot gooseneck on an F350. I asked about what I believe are essential emergency equipment, flares, tools, jacks, etc. NOTHING, NADA! The reply, “I got a phone”.

How many of these survivalists have a “phone”?

Lots of luck when everyone else is calling

Not because of opsec

We're not survivalists but we can definitely last longer than a lot of people I know. The danger would be city slickers looking for a free ride.
