People into prepping seem insane. Why are you fantasizing about collapse of everyday society? Do you think it'll get so bad that you won't have water , food or anything to live off? If so why would you wanna live in such a world Is it such people bored of their jobs anticipating an adventure
>>83486016This image is just someones larder. Hes not surviving off that for more than a month at most. I keep sacks of rice and pasta and canned fruit and veg in my house because its cheap as shit. Theres more reasons for storing emergency supplies other than your stupid binary brain's "wuuh zombie apocolypse the road nuclear holocaust"
>>83486016Geez... All those individual water bottles. Seems better to just get 10litre casks/tanks
>>83486111>water bottles*portable toilets
>>83486082Believe it or not, that is what a normal family used to keep around back in the good old days before just in time/on demand amazon prime delivery. Hell, depending on the family size it might even be on the smaller side. It only became considered a "prepper's hoard" during the pandemic, which isn't as much a statement on muh supply chain as it is on how retarded the average person is nowadays;.
>>83486016>Do you think it'll get so bad that you won't have water [...]There's been disasters in the USA, in the last 25 years, where that was literally the caseYou fucking retard
People like this were abused as children and as a result want to have control and stability, hence stuff like this. Better to be prepared than not.
>>83486129Most people i know over 50 store around twice that amount and arent preppers or hoarders. That guys stockpile is 90% packaging and water bottles anyway.
>>83486171Exactly. Average zoomoid...sorry I meant """COVID apocalypse survivor"""... has completely lost all perspective. I normally don't give a shit about useless eaters darwinating themselves, but they have a nasty tendency to drag other people down with them.
How poor are you? Keeping a small amount of food and water is just basic common sense. If you're American you've lived through multiple events where power was down for an extended period of time or store shelves were empty or natural disaster struck. If you live outside of the US these type of events occurred with greater frequency.I got my crystal ball in front of me right now so spoiler alert, it's going to happen again. You buy the same shit every grocery run anyway. Spaghetti is $1/lb on sale so you buy ten or twenty pounds to capitalize on the discount. 50lb bag of beans for $25? Fuck yeah, I'll just portion it into baggies or jars. By maintaining a normal pantry instead of having a ton of unused space in the house my food expenses are something like 20% what the average American spends. Prime rib roasts were $15/lb on Tuesday. Want to take a wild guess at what's in my freezer? Because I'm not poor or stupid I think of my resources available such as time, space, and money, and how to most efficiently use these resources to maximize comfiness. Dumbass coworkers complain about needing overtime because they can't think more than five minutes into the future. Spaghetti was over $2/lb for store brand shit last time I went. I wanted to have spaghetti this weekend. I didn't buy it because the price was dogshit and I have an entire shelf of the stuff already. Instead of working overtime I'm watching anime and jacking off while getting drunk on cheap wine. Super cheap wine. It costs so little because I make it myself so 70% of the price isn't going towards taxes, fees, licenses, logistics, marketing, etc..
>>83486239>Because I'm not poor or stupidThis is the issue. Most people are. The masses couldn't put together $500 for a big grocery trip if their life depended on it.
>>83486016It can be a good idea to have a few week's supplies for natural disasters depending where you liveanything beyond that is retarded
>>83486016It's normal to store some extra food and water if you're in an area with natural disasters, or if you're concerned about emergencies like water being contaminated or power shutoffs. Some people also just prefer to live on their own land and be self sufficient, they're not preparing for a zombie apocalypse, they just want to be able to get through an uncertain future, when leaders have proven in the past to abuse the masses when they could. But the people who stockpile 1000 cans of beans and 100 guns and think they'll be living in a mad max society for years, are the odd ones.
i just have water and guns since i live in a fairly gun free metropolitan area ima just go door kicking with my buds and probably die in the process
>>83486016If things get so bad that I have to hoard food and water I'm killing myself immediately
>>83486016A natural disaster can disrupt food supply chains, and render basic utilities unavailable for months. During such times, many would prefer to remain and have the means to eat, keep warm, and defend themselves and their property, rather than going to some FEMA shelter and waiting hours in line for food and water.
>>83486016Its like with insurance. You basicly invest in supplies to survive in 0,00001 case where something terrible would happend and at the same time your home wont get oblitirated (so no natural disasters).Its like 1000dol investment, so its not that much big of a deal, but you need a space to store it.If youre a paranoid doomer its a thing that keeps you better mentalwise. Other than that, keeping a few 15kg of rice, water and cans with vegetables/fruits dont hurt anyone, you can just treat it as a extra storage that you use and refill when you see that smth is closing its expire date. Ive seen much worse obsessions and people that rp possible doomsday are usualy pretty fun to talk with.
The world is shit already and if it was truly my own will I would have left already. But since I'm kept down by my family I am eagerly waiting till we are all forced into it.
>dude just kill yourself if the world goes to shitWhat the hell is wrong with you niggaYou the type of faggot to go "wow I'd rather die" to any video of a disabled person being happy because you have weak ass genes and no work ethic.You make me sick. Patooie
>>83486016Why would you even prep for a world that'll be infinitely worse than the one we already have right now? I wouldn't even want to stick around. I prefer death.
>>83486130This. Society doesn't need to collapse for this type of thing to be necessary.
>>83486866Also, this is the most coherent Sheldon post I've ever seen. Holy shit OP got blown out by Sheldon.
>>83488906OP would slit his own throat if the power went out
>>83486016>Prepping is insane Is it? You seem like a dumbass for not having at least a few days of emergency supplies to me. Like the fuck are you going to do if a severe storm knocks out you power for several days?
>>83486016How fucking sheltered are you to assume utilities are something that are always there? Like just last year a wind storm that was almost strong enough to produce a tornado swept through my city and knocked out the power for a week because it ripped down a bunch of lines
>>83486016I bet that you were only pretending to be retarded with this post. Thanks for the reminder to buy potable water.
