In the 40s here too. Very foggy. I love this kind of weather!
I've had many conversations with various preppers and many seem to have one idea in common. That idea is to align themselves with other like-minded people (admittedly, I have) to fill in the voids in their particular skill sets and needs. For example, a family good at gardening might plan to bug out or hunker down with their cousin who has tactical training. The tactical guy may have a friend that is a good medic and so forth. I hear very little among preppers that suggests they could manage entirely on their own, nor has many of them tried to in practice for any significant amount of time. This raises a huge issue. Suddenly, everyone values their own skills so much that they feel they have earned their way as a member of the group with their presence alone when their particular skills are not needed. At this point the gardener is ticked off because he sees the entire group as socialistic in that they all depend on each other unfairly. My question to the group is this: How many people have put thought into that situation and have a means to deal with it that doesn't involve a coup and friends dying? To think that everyone will have the same ambition level and willingness to learn new skills seems like a stretch for most of the people I know.
