AZLance Report post Posted October 4, 2013 im not prepping, but i know where several people live that do. if it ever came down it, you can do the math are we talking about a food shortage? or armageddon? cuz in armageddon, yes i will do anything to survive Trphyhunter.... that is some pretty backwards thinking. You'll get shot and killed at the first residence you try to rob in AZ. Nice survival technique. Basically you're saying you're too lazy to prep yourself so you will just steal from those that took the time to prep. Definition of Lib. lol. you think if shoot really hits the fan youre just going to be chilling in your house with your family and your stock piled supplies? i got some bad newz... Trphyhunter.... Lol. Kind of... except I'll be watching out the window for idiots that think like you and I'll pick them off before they even get to my door. Honestly, I have places I can make it to much safer than my house in Az. So while you're scampering through my neighborhood risking your life robbing the poor... I'll be bunked up in ND with family/relatives that farm their own food. Probably the safest place in the US. So Critter, are you saying that you would rather starve to death than steal to survive? Most men are equipped with a "will to survive" and that usually means by any means possible. I'm not lazy, I just realize that he who has the most bullets in the end will survive... Lance... what I'm saying is that trphyhunters way of thinking is as backwards as it comes. He is saying he's going to sit on his butt and when the time comes he'll worry about it then by pillaging and stealing from others who prepped. This mentality is what is wrong with this country and its entitlement crowd. I don't think I could ever resort to stealing to survive when I live in an area surrounded by mountains and nature's own bountiful plethora of game and other natural food sources. I'd get off my butt and go survive another, more ethical way. What would you do? I'm gonna fight to survive and for my family to survive, and if that means eating a fellow neighbor or coueswhitetail member so be it. You think you will be the only one in the mountains trying to live off of game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critter Report post Posted October 4, 2013 This is getting kind of ridiculous.. I'm not even a prepper.. Lol. Unsure why I even responded to this thread. I guess your guys' idea of it being ok to take from another to survive struck a chord with me. Lance to answer your question.. No I don't think I would be the only one in the mts. trying to survive but In my opinion it would be safer than an urban setting considering all the crime and entitlement types these urban areas already have + compound that with a survival situation and lack of food = no thanks. In other words I'd rather surround myself with hunters/outdoor enthusiasts/survivalists who typically hold more common sense and respect for each other, than with city folk if you know what I mean. Even if all the big game was killed there are other abundant plant and natural food sources to live off. But again... If I was able I'd boot scoot to my home in the Midwest. If not, you'd find me out in the AZ woodlands... or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigorange Report post Posted October 4, 2013 I quit reading this thread for a day and it definitely went sideways... I think most of us as hunters are inherently more prepared (maybe not stockpiling preppers, but prepared) than the average citizen. just in skills, gear, and the fact that we have guns and ammo. I keep thinking about more things I could do to be prepared, but I never do them. It's a very scary thought what could happen. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coach Report post Posted October 5, 2013 Funny the way this thread has gone. Part of my point was, we've all seen what happens when ammo shelves are bare, but we hardly ever think about what happens when food shelves are bare. If/when it comes to that, everyone will be looking out for themselves and their families. Those who have stockpiled will be under siege by those who have not. Easy to do the math from there.

Critter Report post Posted October 5, 2013 I agree with Coach... but must add it will also be the true test of a real man. Are you going to be part of the looting, stealing, thievery, debauchery, chaos and pure evil that only makes the situation worse? Or are you going to get out there, work together, and fend for your family in a true, honest, ethical way..? In the end we all end up dead.. so the 1st option only harms you eternally. No big deal to some I guess. Coach it's a great thread... something to discuss for sure as most Americans think life will go on uninterrupted forever but we all know there's a good chance of that not happening in the world we live in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coach Report post Posted October 5, 2013 I think Critter brings up a very important point in this discussion - one that I hadn't thought of originally. Being prepared means more than just looking out for yourself and your family. It means you can provide without taking from someone else. That's an important point, IMO. If things went bad and we had to protect our own, would that mean taking food from someone else's children? Would that mean leaving them, or your kids, fatherless if it came to it? If you were well prepared to begin with, would you even have to make that choice? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snapshot Report post Posted October 5, 2013 I think the best way to deal with it, would be for like minded good folks like us, to band together for a survival army. Safety in numbers. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeardownAZ Report post Posted October 5, 2013 I think the best way to deal with it, would be for like minded good folks like us, to band together for a survival army. Safety in numbers. This exactly! Read about people who have been in choatic situations(hurricanes, civil war in foreign countries, etc) and they all say that those who band together as a community do the best. Besides, the more who prep, the less looting and shooting will have to take place IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sjvcon Report post Posted October 5, 2013 I think the best way to deal with it, would be for like minded good folks like us, to band together for a survival army. Safety in numbers. This is the way to think about it from my perspective. Hate to go all "religious" on it, but this talk of killing and taking from others ... doing "whatever it takes" to survive ... somebody needs to read some Revelations. What Snap suggests is along the lines of the early Christian Church ... Acts 2:42-47. I'll do my best to conduct myself by "the Book" ... the one that counts. My skills in hunting, fishing, foraging and protection of myself and others (that final skillset being not insignificant) will go toward the benefit of people striving to do the same. God is still watching when the brown stuff hits the rotating blade. Don't kid yourself. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
