    My sister-in-law has some friends who are big-time preppers. They have a place in New Mexico, three shipping containers full of stuff and are ready to go live there.

    So NAP, you are showing cannibalistic tendencies. But you’re Catholic, right? So maybe you get a pass because of your religious training.
    3-7 percent actually. with a little denisovan and apparently some alien.

    The funny thing about action is it does not solve the problem of readiness if the whole idea behind 'prepping' is making ones' being threadable through the pinhole. That's my personal intuition, backed up by things like a past dream which I shared.... Yeah I know..
    Backed up by several things only amounting to hear say. Which is just as useful as any inclinations regards prepping.
    But from what I can deduce, no one will get a free ticket. You either can pass through the 'scanners' or you cant.
    You want to prep your family with lots of food and guns? Well that may help if you are all good with your soul. But it wont do diddly if not. Those ones, the greedy fearful ones who want to save their lives, will likely just be shot and over run by the 1st few waves of marauders.
    I am expecting to see quite a bit of poetry unfold in those sorts of scenarios. You can run but you can't hide kind of thing.
    All these people wanting to work out what might happen so they can focus on some way to survive. That is hilarious to me.

    I just don’t like the thought of going hungry, and if I don’t need the food, my neighbors might.

    And they'll come knockin' on your door unless you're living in a breatharian community.

    It might be a good idea to practice breatharianism in case you start to run out of food.

    In case you're wondering what starvation might drive people to do, you can Google the siege of Leningrad. Then again, maybe you don't want to find out.

    My understanding is you gotta be pretty enlightened to live off air.

    ...there’s a plan afoot to cut the I17 bridges linking us to Phoenix, making Sedona pretty isolated and defendable.

    How many do you know who would resort to cannibalism?
    You probably don't know how many.
    What really should one prepared for, live by the sword die by it.
    There will be all types.
    Community may surprise. Depending on what you expect.
    How desperate are people to live?

    The survivalist instinct is quite strong in humans, otherwise you would see much more suicides. It's what has kept our species alive so far, even though we seem to be quite suicidal. Many tend to cling to their lives, because they're afraid of losing something.

    I'd rather cap myself instead of resorting to cannibalism, but that's just me. Then again, I don't think it will ever come to that. Maybe I'm an optimist in that sense.

    There's no point living in despair or fear, there's enough time for that later.
