269: Suburban preppers – How much is too much?

The boys drink and review Yeungling’s Porter, then discuss disaster preparation. What’s responsible and what’s over the top?

What would it take to be ready for a big snowstorm, or a 3-day power outage? What if it’s 2 weeks? Or 2 months?

What would happen to the utilities? Would you still get gas, electricity, and water?

Then they go into the disaster scenarios. Beyond prudent, reasonable precautions, what happens when society breaks down? When money isn’t worth anything. When there’s hyperinflation.

How hungry do people need to get before they start breaking into their neighbor’s house?

And even if you are prepared for a long-term disaster, are you going to shoot your hungry neighbors who come begging for food?

Or what if you get a bug-out location in the boonies? Will you be safe?

When you think it all the way through, this prepper stuff doesn’t make much sense.
