In reading many of the replies to other threads a question has come to mind. So many folks post as though they have just a month to 3 months worth of supplies, which make me wonder …..what will you do after 3 months?
Good question, and yes I agree, lot of people do not give up their real preps and it is perfectly fine.
There is another point here, more important.
In case of serious event, you may adopt philosophy that your preps (3 months, 6 months…) simply giving you good chance until you figure out how to continue to live in new world, whatever that mean.
It may be you are living of your preps while you figuriong out what is the situation “out there” and what are the new options for you.
It would suck if you have to check that on day 7 because you do not have enough food, meds or whatever.
In any case of serious event most of us will be force to “go out” and use our skills in obtaining resources, by having preps you are postponing usually that moment, until you are ready or situation around you get more clear, or in case of minor event until situation gets back to normal.
I find having preps as a (grat) help, but not complete solution to everything.
Complete solution usually include growing food, hunting, trade, having means to substitute some meds with herbs, or to find it trough other channels.
And yes, sometimes you can do only what you can do.
