Being a survivalist sucks. Sure, it’s nice that you are actually aware enough of your surroundings that you can smell the danger of distant smoke on the horizon. To some degree we can congratulate ourselves on being less of a dumbass than most everyone else. But there is the downside of opsec versus recruitment and Good Samaritanism. Well, there are more downsides like your spouse who is so retarded, hiding their head in the sand, you are starting to wonder how nice their rack/junk actually is. But today we focus on if you should tell others about the dangers you see. Number one, you are a really swell person and hence you feel you are doing other people a nice turn by trying to warn them. Number two, it would really be nice if you had a bit of help repelling zombie attacking waves, not to mention case lot discounts would be appreciated. But you also know that other people are genital secretion gurgling mouth breathing banjo playing monkey molesters who will turn on you in a heartbeat like the rabid animals they really are. Oh, such a conundrum. But never fear, I have more answers masquerading as facts posing as opinions than I know what to do with. I’m happy to share.
*
The two standard answers have usually been to either tell no one, holing up in your underground lair of doom, your finger nervously stroking the trigger guard of your Colt Industries Plastic Death Ray Of Semi Automatic Destruction To The Unwashed, or stockpile enough so that you may arm a friend after the apocalypse ( you don’t tell him beforehand to limit those in the know ). A third option was to give out in charity to others some survival supplies, and while I might have flirted with that option way in the past I think it is pure stupidity now. Most WILL be back, and if you don’t “voluntarily” give them more you will not be able to stem the tide regardless of how much ammo you have. In fact, charity is LESS kind. You get their hopes up that there might be more where that came from or that other people might care as much, and then they have to start the starvation process all over again when that proves illusionary. If as they claim hunger pangs decrease after about four days, better to let them slip away. They are too weak to both fight you and to care much after a certain point. So, by feeding them a few meals, you’ve done the following. They get an extra four days of suffering when they go hungry again. To torture them mentally. And you give them enough energy to attack you or the next homestead. You better recheck that Bible passage, because I don’t think any of those things are very compassionate.
*
I have no problem with hiding out until the die-off occurs. I think that is one of the best tactical responses. Yet strategically it might not be the best course. It is safer now, but if you emerge from the destruction alone, your survival odds plummet. So it might be better to pay the price of companionship, even if they are actually too stupid to live. You are buying loyalty and increasing your odds in a firefight by “buying” tribal members. By stockpiling for a buddy or two you still hide the goods, still stay secure, and still have help when you need it. But allow me to introduce another option. As Ronald Regan said, trust but verify. Let’s assume for simplicities sake that you are stockpiling for one friend. A couple of years wheat, eight hundred rounds of ammo and a Russian bolt are the cheapest way to go but still around $600. For most of you that insist the wife needs central air and the kids need shoes, this is a lot of money. Is your friend really worthy? He might just be a fair weather friend. So, you preach the gospel to him, but you don’t admit to stockpiling for him, nor do you share the extent of your preps. As far as he knows, and he knows because you gave him the full tour of the pantry and arsenal, beaming with pride and urging him to duplicate your efforts, the only thing you have is a few hundred extra pounds of four and rice and things of that nature. And of course, your own Russian bolt tricked out with long relief scope ( if you are concerned with gunsmithing multiple rifles for scope mounts, you might just consider the rear site scope mount and pistol scope. It might be cheaper. Of course, you don’t get long distant shooting that way but it still would be an improvement over factory sites ).
If your friend is loyal and true, he won’t try to rip off your supplies since he of course won’t prep himself. If he does steal them for himself, you let him have them easily and then retrieve the good stuff from caches ( then go kill him. There is a bit of risk he might kill you first, but odds are the history of friendship and the early hour of the catastrophe should see him giving you the option of retreat ). So, here you have killed several birds with one stone. A test of loyalty and character. A cheaper insurance policy than if you had used your real supplies. And, if you do try to spread the word out there to try to get people to help themselves, your example is cheap enough that others will perhaps be more persuaded to undertake their acquisition. That used to be my standard sales script to prospective peppers ( before I gave up and wrote off humanity as worthless, unteachable turds ). Look, you only need to spend $8 a month per person and you have a food stash ( flour of course has gone up in price since then ). Do you think it worked? Of course not. But I tried to help others, and I didn’t admit to having much better food in far greater qualities ( I’ve also come to realize that only I think of wheat kernels as a superior food ). I think I truly turned one guy towards the dark side. So my efforts yielded something. But generally I wouldn’t recommend you recruiting. People are evil, and evil idiots at that. But you do what you think best. Just try to do it smart.
