It is assumed that if you are reading this, you may be considering the
possibility of socio-economic collapse from any number of reasons. If it
comes to this, we all know that it won't be like the depression of the
1930's, when the unemployed homeless came around to your back door at
mealtime, begging for a bowl of soup which those employed were willing to
share.
Now days people are dependant on gov't welfare, and consider it their
right to be given (or take by force) the necessities of life.
For every family that gives up vacations, meals out, consumer goods, etc. to prepare,
thousands & thousands of other families will not!
You survival will dependon your ability to protect what you have.
