>>1083195>insight?Yes; don't stay put. Find normality. Move out.
The more you hoard shit into one place, the more you are tied to that place. Corollary: the less you can carry it with you should you decide to move; if you don't plan to take it with you, then you are wasting money today building a Warehouse of Prep(tm).
Buying the things does not guarantee survival.
Of course, you could stay put, but the premise was that an SHTF happens which impacts at least your current location in a way which makes normal life there difficult without "prepping".
Once this level of difficulty grows around your location, you have just become a sitting target for local hunter-gatherers.
>>1081017Yes. What happens after one year + week?
Long-lasting disaster could be many years, should some (e.g. natural) disaster simply collapse organized society locally and make things difficult to live there because of robbing gangs, mini-warlords, a meter of ash everywhere, and so on.
Staying in your house: that's fine while your supplies last, but what happens when you make firewood and hit yourself in the ankle? Blood gushing. No-one else is around. Tourniquet? Lose a leg. How are your chances of survival now, with the supplies growing less each day and your mobility impaired. Stored supplies are not a renewable resource.
Prepping by hoarding stuff into a storage with the expectation of staying still is not resilient and the prognosis is not good. IMO is better to ensure renewal of supplies and thus continuity of life by farming a small piece of land in a small community that is not impacted by the disaster at hand. Either far away from the natural disaster, or in a difficult to reach place in the company of a group of people who have the necessary survival skills (doctors, engineers, chemists, gunsmiths, ...) are who are ready to resist any unwelcome incoming.
If you follow this line of reasoning, you basically want a rural setting in a small country.
