It’s not totally independent, but yeah the vaaaast majority of preppers basically just build an armory, a food and storage cache, in a place that is not going to be secure.
I watched a youtube video of one guy, had been prepping for years, accumulated a fuck ton of all kinds of supplies.
… and then a wildwife wildfire EDIT (lol) approached his house.
Long story short, he spent hours scrambling, miscommunicating with his family, hastily packing a tiny fraction of his shit into his SUV…
… so that he could ‘bug out’, to a hotel in the nearbg city, after getting stuck in a traffic jam of other people trying to do the same thing, for a couple of hours.
Fortunately for him, the fire was able to be controlled, didn’t burn down his house.
But yeah, all his shit would have been pointless, he had no real plan and he choked when it mattered.
… Even in an actual total societal breakdown scenario… people with a bunch of stuff, and not a lot of actual friends?
Some Ukrainians just do “emergency backpack”. Cause if something happens, you need to be able to dash out and have a set of tools you know how to use with you.
Yep, commonly referred to as a Bug Out Bag or Go Bag in the US, its a good idea to have one in case of any kind of potential disaster or emergency, not just a zombie apocalypse or literal Russian invasion.
General rule of thumb is a minimum 3 day supply of food, first aid kit, thermal blanket, multi tools or small toolkits, paracord/twine, spare socks/undies, tampons for the ladies, lighter/firestarter kit, compass, map(s)… that kind of stuff.
Two stalkers are walking in the woods and come across a guy with a giant backpack, face down, surrounded by various mushrooms.
They check him over and he’s got enough packaged food, rations, and medical supplies to easily last someone well over a year.
They flip him over, obvious signs of mushroom poisoning, old signs of mouth frothing.
The two of them look at each other and one says to the other: “I think he was a prepper. I don’t think he prepped on becoming a lootbox in the woods, though”

That’s what you call a loot box.
