Thread: Doomsday Preppers.

I think when your times up that's it. I might just go and sit in the 110 if anything happens. That's my contingency.

I have watched a couple of shows. My take on the prepper people is that type A are nutjobs who assume post-emergency people who knock at their door are all inner city ferals and type B are genuinely taking precautions due to having had a bad experience in an emergency of some kind and they see that to be waiting or expecting "The Feds" to come to the rescue is a disaster. There are too many people for the Feds to help or worse (the Feds are incompetent and out of their depth). See Katrina/New Orleans.

One thing came up which I thought was getting at the bones of the "Prepper" mindset; in our DNA we are hunters and if the thin blue line goes down in a big city then in a few days you surrounded by a million hunters looking for prey. Community cohesion? Civilisation? Nah, not nowadays in many big cities. Even merry England had days of looters a few years back. USA has its riots and looting...

The collapse of America's economy seemed like a hard one to believe. But i think your right,looting would be the order of the day,plus a good old fashion riot.

Everyone's got to have a hobby.
I hear there are some nutbags who collect Landrovers.

I would find it hard to believe there is anything in Townsville worth looting. Would be interesting to see what happened if the proverbial hit the fan .

There would be lots of scared kangaroos, Pigs and bandicoots .

I know someone who does pretty much the same but they keep theirs out in the countryside somewhere.
