You're the one who claimed the answers are 'unverifiable', aren't you?
Indeed I did. care to prove me wrong?

Nope. You're entitled to your opinion, as I already told you.
Are you ready to answer some questions about survivalism?
Ah, so despite the fact that I have repeatedly stated I hope that I never have to use my stores for a long term disaster, you post this as if I am hoping for a long term disaster. In short, you are trolling because you have absolutely nothing of value to say. Got it.I posted that to lift your spirits. Now you can stockpile for at least 4 years. (The NAS puts the recovery time at four to 10 years.)
As you know we've discussed the possibility of "smoke 'em out". Here is a short video on fire rated vault doors. http://www.sportsmansteelsafes.com/vault_door_videos/sportsman_vault_door_video.htm
The segment 4:35 - 4:45 informs us "if the wife hears a noise she can get inside and the perps can shoot an uzi at it all day long and not get access." At an $1800.00 tag it's a small price, indeed, to pay for peace of mind. A vault with a hidden air pipe to the exterior of the home would allow for extended stays in the vault. For further peace of mind a remote controlled booby-trap on the exterior of the vault should the hoards get access to your basement. Anything from tear gas to a home made pipe bomb would suffice. Also, a surveillance camera on the exterior would be a wise investment with a monitor in the vault allowing one to see if the "coast is clear".
It's like restoring old cars. "Do it once. Do it right."
So, what are people to do? Join the mobs of subhuman scum who prey on others? What a wonderful society that would build. Not that your predictions are worth the pixels used to display them. You are an idiot studying hard to be a moron. You hate anyone who does not believe in absolute and total dependence on your precious mommy government. You detest people who believe in personal responsibility and freedom.It's the length of preparation that is being questioned. Any crisis where the government is not able to offer basic survival aid within a few weeks will result in a dramatic change in culture. The first fact acknowledged will the government has lost control. Today, people who have a few supplies on hand are not concerned with their neighbor stealing them. When things like a storm or a power outage occur people just stay home and read a book knowing things will return to normal shortly. It's when they realize things will not be returning to normal any time soon that mob mentality takes over.
Right or wrong, that's the way things will go and survival will depend on being part of the mob. Individuals, survivalists, will not stand a chance in a populated area.
You seem angry. Has your temper always been an issue for you?

Pathetic useless fucking loser.

You really are a pathetic loser. I mean REALLY fucking pathetic.
Survivalists are perfectly capable of cooperating. Too bad you are so focused on your hatred of anything which differs in the slightest from your worship of big mommy government, you cannot comprehend what many have been saying about getting together with neighbors and friends for mutual protection. Instead you troll around, talking about cowering in basements and a bunch of other bullshit, innuendo, and outright lies. That is what makes you so completely pathetic.
What we will NOT cooperate with is a bunch of assholes like yourself coming around demanding a share of what we went to the expense and effort to accumulate, just because you happen to exist - especially assholes like you who are ridiculing the very idea of preparing for long term disaster, then, if the worst DOES happen, you want us to provide for your lazy lying useless big mommy government asses. And anyone who wants to take things by force will, eventually, be met with greater force from law abiding citizens who do not want to put up with bands of murdering criminals running around. Again, we CAN cooperate - probably much better and more effective than the roving bands of criminals you so admire - just not in the mindless, give our souls to big mommy government way you demand.
BTW: survival does NOT depend on groups - look at the pioneers who led the way west for the settlers. They were all self-reliant individualists. CIVILIZATION demands cooperating groups, not mere survival. But civilization also demands one more thing that will make it impossible for civilization to arise from your hypothetical murdering criminals: a sense of morality. People who murder for their own survival cannot possibly build a healthy society. They'll be too busy stabbing each other in the backs (literally as well as figuratively) after they run out of innocent victims.
And you can't lie your way out of why you posted the link you did. You wanted to make more fun of people who think the worst is coming. trying to claim it was to "suggested a site which offers things that you may find useful" is a lie, yoiu fucking know it is a lie, and so does everyone else reading this thread - even those mindless enough to be on your side of the argument.
Here is the type of people Apple think would be better at rebuilding society:
Won't that be a wonderful society that would result from Apple's "cooperating" bands of murdering criminals.
And I am the wacky one. I guess it's better to be wacky than a pathetic sociopath who thinks murder is more honorable than "selfishly" providing for your children.
All you do above is indicate you complete lack of reading skills. Not one of us has EVER mentioned cowering in the basement, yet that is exactly how you describe us. And then it's "oh, you work together, so you must live together" strawman approach. People do not need to move into the same house to cooperate with each other. Did the settlers arrive at a desirable location and build one big house for all? Yet then you go on as if your strawman is the basis of the argument.
Still the pathetic, ignorant troll, aren't you?
We cooperate as people have always cooperated in the past (That is, before liberal progressives decided that we should simply put it all on the shoulders of government so we could sit around bemoaning the plight of the less fortunate and congratulating ourselves for doing nothing more about it than vote for big mommy government): People cooperate by helping each other out when help is needed, assisting in providing needed services (including defense), taking turns doing the things that need doing (including watch duty), celebrating when circumstances call for it, and otherwise leading our own lives with our own families.
And your knowledge of history is the one sadly lacking. BEFORE the wagon trains were the individuals, frontiersmen, fur trappers, and explorers who went out ON THEIR OWN, found and established the trails those wagon trains followed later. People like Jim Bridger, Kit Carson, John Colter, Manuel Lisa, Jedidiah Smith, etc. They survived as individuals, and because they did, others were able to follow in the (relative) safety of numbers.
And you are an outright liar. In the beginning you described people BURNING OUT survivalists, just for spite. And the SAME GROUPS, the ones you described as turning into murdering criminals due to their desperation, are the ones you claim would rebuild society and ostracize survivalists for being selfish. How do you think these bands of "regular people facing hunger and death" will organize and cooperate with each other, with ANY hope of being successful against defended positions - even if it is just to burn people out from the sheer hatred and spite you liberals are full of - unless they do so in an organized and planned (ie: military) manner? Therefore, the video does, indeed, describe the people you are hoping survive to rebuild society.
And mercs are soldier types, most of whom are uncaring subhumans, who put their military skills to work for others, and get paid for doing so; selling their skills to the highest bidder regardless of any ethical considerations. The people portrayed in the video were "working" only for themselves, as a "cooperating" band (murdering criminals) of "regular people facing hunger and death" would end up doing (ie: raiding, killing, stealing, etc. according to your predictions) if they managed to survive beyond the first week.

What the Candian dumbass doesn't understand; is that any disaster that appeared to be going to last longer then a month, is probably going to result in the "survivalist and his family" packing up and moving to a different location.
Expecially once the "hungry mobs" start roaming about.
Any serious disaster (pandemic, major volcanic eruption, government totally collapsing) is probably going to result in an exodus from the immediate area.
Apple just cannot get beyond demonizing anything and everything which does not result in complete and total subservience to his precious mommy government. Accumulating supplies of food and other provisions is the same as cowering in the basement. People gathering in hordes and murdering others is heroic. People who try to look ahead and prepare for disasters are selfish. People who do nothing and then demand from those who did prepare are the good guys. Your sense of reality, as well as morality, is so fucked as to be more animal than human. I simply cannot STAND reading your mindless immoral big mommy government drivel any longer.
