@k3ym0@infosec.exchange *The* lesson from Covid. The people who were killed in the greatest numbers were those away from community and society. An old age person in their own home, with their neighbours doing the shop run, were far more likely to survive than a counterpart on a farm or in a residential home.

@k3ym0@infosec.exchange What about the person with half a day of food storage and no relationships? ... asking for a frie... uhh, errm.. a person I know.

@k3ym0@infosec.exchange from asking around, approximately nobody has two months of food storage though. Yes, relationships are far more valuable in the long term, but they won't help if everyone you love starves or dies of thirst after two weeks. Please still have a bare minimum of disaster preparedness.

@k3ym0@infosec.exchange My dad panic buys everything Alex Jones hawks. It's been awhile, but last time I saw his place, it was packed with boxes and boxes of shit. Most of them didn't even look opened and I'm positive he didn't keep any kind of inventory, yet he's convinced he'll be well-prepared when the apocalypse hits (which has been just around the corner for decades). I told him that it's always communities that survive disasters, not individuals, and asked him how many of his neighbors he knows. None. Not a single one. Again, that was years ago, but I'm positive nothing has changed.

@k3ym0@infosec.exchange the Surviving The Apocalypse panel at a convention where we came to two conclusions: the survival nuts convinced they're one disaster away from being the new aristocracy would last until they ticked off a farmer; and *the* most useful thing for a group to have would be grandparents.

@k3ym0@infosec.exchange that's been my thinking about prepper culture in general. What's their scenario? Outlive everyone else by a few weeks by hiding alone in their bunker? In general, the things that make you most resilient in a disaster are the same things you need for a good life anyways. Good health. Robust relationships with family and friends. Nurture those as disaster preparedness.
