[QUOTE="akgriffin, post: 2014903, member: 17630"] I recently had a very heated discussion about prepping with my oldest son. He is in the army intel business, also working on a masters in areonautical engineering, so he's pretty smart (he got it from his momma's side). It was around thanksgiving and the natgeo show doomsday prepper was on, an he asked me if i was one of those idiots. I told him i lookin at different ways ppl prep up, and said i already have a stash going of food and other stuff. He laughed and said people in the US would never starve / the country won't go the way of greece. He pointed out of the people from SS sandy in the NE US are not starving or doing without. I am a history buff, so my hackels shot up fast. I harken to him learn about the depression era/ dustbowl ere, back when ppl would grow thier own food, and not run to wal-mart every other day, and how nature didnt feed everyone during the dust bowl, or the government destroying millions of hog's for price fixing during the depression. He just cant see stores or ppl running out of food, or necessities for a long period of times anymore. It started making me wonder why people are so agianst prepping for some problem, ie, tornadoes in this area. I for myself prep alittle extra for his family if he was to come home in a troubling times. People dont can food, garden or live a self sustaining lifestyle anymore, granted by self sustaining country living, not hippy communial, tree hugging type. only tree im gonna hug is if a hog run's me up one. Do you keep tryin to show them the rightness or do you just not say anything anymore? [/QUOTE]
