shtfschool | When SHTF, there are a guys with guns, and there are guys without
guns. Everything else are just labels. Names like police, army,
authority, government…
You can not think in the terms that we think today, it is dangerous.
If you read between lines on this website you also come to your own
conclusions how you can make chances of your survival better if your
group looks like official helpers. Of course do not use this for bad
things.
There is nothing deep and philosophic in this story, police force are
just bunch of guys with guns who are doing their job today, some of
them are good people, some of them are bad people. They all just like us
gonna choose what they gonna do when SHTF but when they are in big
emotional stress or fight for their survival they might not be nice guys
like before. Even if they try to be good they go around and anyone they
see can be a Chris Dorner and in all chaos they do not know.
Guys who were hiding in the building were common law abiding folks,
and they did not realize that SHTF and that rules had changed, actually
rules were gone, so what was before did not matter much. Black can be
white, bad can be good, or police force can be simple gang.
Really getting this mindset is also main point of my survival course.
Yes, there are my list with supplies and survival guide but with
interviews I want you to see how “not natural” it was. Yes, it feels
like landing on different planet when society changes like that but if
you want to survive you have to be able to be almost comfortable with
this.
Now do not get me wrong, I am not saying that we all need to go out
and not obey the law. Nothing like that. But when SHTF it is wrong to
act like law abiding citizen just because you are used to. It just
doesnt make sense and you have to question everything and everyone.
I had that “advantage” or “luck” seeing all that when SHTF, also I am
living in what I call “unorganized” country so I am perfectly aware
that police here even in “normal” times are armed guys who also work for
people who pay more.
So all of my problems I am trying to solve by myself, no real help
from authorities. Maybe in your world situation is different and you
should be grateful for that. I am not saying that all cops are bad, in
your country most cops are probably very good. Just keep in mind people
who enforce law and order are humans too and when SHTF or in major
disaster that is followed by long term survival situation they are
living in new world too in which old rules do not mean much.
I know it is easy for me to say this because I have been in this
situation but besides all “technical” or “logistical” aspects of
prepping your mind has to be ready for the day when old labels,
classification and rules are not working anymore. Only then you can make
critical right decisions that can make your chance to survive better.
