[QUOTE="Bigdawg90, post: 3921654, member: 49831"] No need to justify anything, just wondering about the whys of how people prep. My dad was a veteran, and my oldest brother was a cop. I was raised thinking about scenarios and then planning for them. My wife gets tired of it sometimes but I’ve never been able to shut it off. If it’s not outright lying I feel like many companies sell people on the likelihood in bad faith. I have a few acquaintances that are all kitted out. If their reasoning was “because it’s cool and I like it” I say do it and have fun. A lot of times they just saw it on YouTube or online and thought “I need that.” They’re sold on it as protecting their family. Manipulating that protective nature to sell products and waste resources is wrong to me. When we get to discussing actual scenarios and practicing, they begin to see their equipment is not best for their needs. This has happened to me multiple times as well You are correct in that it is always a choice of the buyer, and the choice of the prepper. I just wish more people/businesses provided disclaimers when discussing the subject. Training is another matter. I agree with many here that you should be trained in as many different disciplines as possible and then became very familiar with the ones you absolutely need. [/QUOTE]
