Seven Common TEOTWAWKI Misconceptions, by Brian T.
*** begin quote ***
Misconception number four: Roving criminal hordes will come from the urban environment to your rural home or Bug Out Location (BOL). Nope, these people do not play chess or even checkers; they do not plan ahead much at all. Criminals, with few exceptions are lazy. And many are on drugs. Yes, a few will flee at the very beginning if they have a specific refuge in mind, the uncle with the farm, but most will not leave their familiar comfortable environment. Even if they have an operational vehicle capable of the trip it is likely to be low on fuel, particularly these days. They will burn up what little fuel they have driving around their usual haunts, to the liquor and drug stores, then to the convenience or grocery store like they did before the event until their tank is empty. Walking or biking to save fuel will never cross their mind. No gas means no travel for this group. There will be rare exceptions.
*** and ***
In a crisis, do not plan on doing things you have never done and do not plan on other people’s behavior to change, neither one is very likely.
*** end quote ***
Interesting.
Reminds me of that story where the guy build a retreat, and unbuilt it, that was virtually undetectable.
Maybe all the planning and thinking about TEOTWAWKI (The End Of The World As We Know It) is just foolishness.
But it does make sense to plan for the bad things that can happen more frequently (i.e., storms, power outages, financial turmoil, political unrest).
Doing nothing / planning nothing just ensures failure.
Argh!
