I think it's smart to have some emergency supplies on hand, but building a whole ass bunker like it's gonna be Fallout is where it gets crazy. I think for a lot of these people it just becomes a hobby lol.

As someone who's actually learning how to do things to actually survive I appreciate them collecting supplies in one place so I can use them after they starve to death.
Up/Downvotes decide - is @Semi-Hemi-Demigod the hero or the villain?
He's clearly the shop keeper for the hero to find
Khajiit has wares if you have coin
Yes.
people or color
Who let this crap get published?
The people without color gang, of course (you cant see them tho)
I'm prepped to just fucking kill myself when society collapses. I'm not living through that shit.
At least someone will get a meal out of it, assuming your screen name is true.
You're living through it right now though. Increased disease, poverty, institutional break down, more conflict, more movement of peoples towards various social or environmental refugia. 'Collapse' is a process that takes decades.
Yeah but there are a couple downward steps that would be a lot larger and more obvious. I'm hanging out to see if they are in the near future. And also heck it might be fun for a minute in the more chaotic moments.
Tell me you're not female without telling me you're not female.
Touchè. I mean though still a female or not could break into the zoo and try to play with the animals or break into a chocolate factory and steal all the cocoa they can get their hands on... Just more inherent risks.
I feel like it would be easier for a woman to "oopsie whoopsie" their way out of alotta situations where my hagrid unibomber lookin ass would get instantly tazed, no questions asked.
You mean "oopsie whoopsie getsie rapedsie"? Sure. But don't worry, I'm sure someone would feel like that about a radical Hagrid as well :*
Glad to know I'm not the only one.
Every time I watch a post-apocalyptic film, I'm left wondering why anyone would want to live for that.
The thing is, what if you are the hero? Like, the only one able to draw the melon's life force, that saves all of humanity?
If you kill yourself, you take all remaining humans with you.
Works for me.
Just like I always say!
I'm not crazy! I'll kill you! I'll kill ALL of you!
Where will you know when it's collapsed?
Kansas.
When the internet has been down for 24 hours.
when we get all mad maxey
This.
I hope that day never comes.
Ha! Here in Australia we don't 'prep'. But I reckon I could comfortably survive in the bush for a good year with what I could throw into my ute with 5 min warning.
Yeah i live in the Territory, plenty of empty space thousands of head of cattle no one would care about once global trade collapsed.
Hell i think pur biggest problems would be other countries trying to take over.
I've seen a series of documentaries about this starring Mel Gibson.
Ohh yeah it was a really accurate documentary too, i enjoyed howbthe director didnt fictionalise anything or try push their own agenda in the documentary. 10/10
I’ve been thinking more and more about Australia as a safe haven, but I’ll have to learn to be an Australian to live there. Lots of things that will kill you there.
