Because there are some incredibly easy, low cost things you can do to increase your odds of surviving a collapse. Most people aren’t prepared to survive 2 weeks without a grocery store and electricity.
- maxerickson 8y agoMost people will survive just fine for 2 weeks if they have access to reasonably clean water.
- toasterlovin 8y agoYeah, my bad. But still, most people aren’t prepared to survive 2 weeks without a functionaing municipal water supply.

Even if you had extra food and water to last years, you're totally screwed as soon as people around you who have run out find out that you're hoarding all that. No matter what you had to prepare, if enough people get together they can always come and take it from you.
- toasterlovin 8y agoThe key phrase here is "increase your odds" If you don't have several days worth of water then you are well and truly fucked no matter what you do. If you do have several days worth of water then your odds of surviving just went way up, even if they still aren't great. The same logic applies to having food, first aid supplies, guns, etc.
