How prepared are you? : Thu Nov 29, 2012 4:11 pm  
I've been telling Mrs D to stock up the garage and loft with tinned food and bottled water for 5 years now. She doesn't listen. These people have been rather more proactive:

Would you want to survive if that's all that's left. Spicy Refried beans as well? No thanks!

Doomsday Preppers is a kinda scary program, but clearly there are many thousands in the States, all with huge stocks, detailed plans, a bug-out bag and alternative routes etc. I kind of think that if it all went tits, word would soon get around that i had ten years of food and water in my basement and that would be me well and truly fscked, given that I'm not allowed to have a cabinet of weapons and a year of ammo.

If I was a prepper in the States, even if I could fight off those less prepared with their eyes on my stockpile, I doubt the fire brigade would come when they set my house on fire to flush me out so conclude they are all monumentally wasting their time.

I particularly loved some of the "facts" like: "Russia has built enough shelters to house their total population" and "you can't get a shelter built in the US because the government have employed all the contractors to build shelters on their behalf".

I called the Russia 'fact' as blatant ignorance. How on earth could they build enough bunkers to house 142 million people? It would be the most gigantic project ever undertaken by some considerable distance.

I used to mock people like that when those shows were on, but the London riots made me think a little. Suddenly when it was breaking out all over the country and in places as close as Salford, the idea of having some to 'prep' for was far more tangible.

We can call those people all the names we want, but it would be far easier than most people think. A coordinated attack on oil supplies is perhaps the easiest. A few attacks would be all it would take to limit supply enough to cause panic buying, then a mass exhaustion of supplies. The recent petrol shortages prove that the stockpiles don't last once people panic buy. In that scenario, the shops wouldn't be able to restock within a week and we'd have panic buying there too. Within two weeks there would be no fuel and nothing in the shops. Then it would turn rather chaotic.

With both the riots and the fuel shortages, Britain has proven it's incapable of dealing with any major crisis. It doesn't have the infrastructure, the stockpiles of supplies or the required numbers in the armed forces to cope with any large scale crisis.

I did think about being a prepper, but as with most things I was just too lazy to do anything about it. Living on a residential estate in Warrington with no money and being diabetic (And therefore dead within a couple of months when my insulin ran out) it just seems too difficult.

People panic buy every year. Supermarkets shutting for one day forces people into freezing 17 loaves of bread, 12 beef joints, 2 chickens and a turkey whilst housing 14 bottles of milk in their fridge. What's the difference?
