    I fucking love looking at prepper stuff once in a while. I’d been considering making a small emergency kit/go bag for actual climate disasters that could occur (such as major weather event knocking power out for weeks at a time, which did occur recently), and fucking everywhere has people playing up LARP fantasies about going out to camp in the middle of the woods at the first sign of trouble, only wearing nondescript grey clothing so you can blend into the crowd, and not an ounce of useful advice

    The only bit of useful advice I ever saw for disaster survival was to buy a silcock key to access potable water from buildings, and it came from an old homeless dude on a forum. Fuck these LARPers with their hundred ARs and buried stashes

      Yea you’re way better off just watching bushcraft or camping videos.

      The biggest difference is they actually regularly use the techniques and equipment as opposed to the peppers who are just adult loot craters showing off their shiny new toys TALKING about all the stuff they could do with it.
