- People in my opinion are the biggest variable in any SHTF situation.

My ex is a big, tough guy. But in crisis situations he reacts impulsively rather than thinking it through…anger, panic, and brute strength. In a prepper lineup for choosing teams I’m sure he’d get chosen long before me, but the truth is I stay calm, can analyze quickly, have tons more knowledge and skills, and never end up in jail. Judging a book by its cover in SHTF is probably a mistake. 😋
A lot of the so called “tough guys” have no sense in a real problem in my experience.
Nailed it. People will always be the biggest variable.
I used to panic when I was young. Once I got into Nursing, man…did I change. I analyze quickly, then react. No panic. I then noticed how patience I can be IF I let myself. Family and friends said how nicely I matured regarding my emotions as I aged thru my life. Nursing taught me a lot about myself and how to react. 43 years later I still analyze and react. I’m not saying I’ve always made the best decisions, it’s just that I’ve learned to not react so quickly
We’re the old timers now.
Yes.
I didn't believe the old timers when they said how fast middle age and old age sneak up on you. Guess what? They were right about that too.
@@candiceuebrick3803 crazy how the older we get the faster the years pass by.
@justusupnorth8262 I was just thinking about that. I said to someone "the other day..." but it turns out it was a lot longer ago than that. Time passes so much faster to me now.
The old saying to never judge a book by its cover makes sense right here. Making people "think." Great video.
Another excellent topic to cover M.R.
We have a few "new" neighbors in the area. They announced themselves as preppers. We just said, really!
A couple month's down the road, they are no longer preppers they are just surviving barely. That's the ones to watch closely.
Very accurate assessment. Just listen to any Holocaust survivors, neighbors turning neighbors in...that you THOUGHT was your trusted friends.
When people become afraid Anything can happen.
@@libertybell7145 Exactly
People are always the problem
So true! Even when things are going great.
Not all people, just those select few. ;) And they make it known without a doubt! That said do not be detoured from your goal because that is expected.
I knew Modern Refugee would hit this one on the first try. Nailed it.
Thank you!
People, like those that are on the loose after the prison gates are opened for lack of abllity to resupply? Those people? Those are things nightmares are made of.
Excellent point. Thank you.
Oh yes, absolutely, people are the biggest variable . . . at any time, really, but when SHTF that degree of variability will be even more magnified. People, right now, are becoming more and more unpredictable. Tempers are short. Moods are often depressed. Rational thinking is less common. Hope seems to be waning. This is a recipe for disaster even without an SHTF event. Add SHTF into the equation and I believe people will be the biggest, most dangerous, variable. The most dangerous thing I believe a person can encounter is a person who believes they have absolutely nothing left to lose. Keep out of that man's way!
There has been a significant shift in people since 2020. There is no going back.
So Wise , Thank You. I agree we must work together , and remember talk is cheap
Several years ago, PJ Fox on Viking preparedness said the two things that would kill you the quickest was starvation and people behaving badly. I agree.
It’s when they turn off the water in the cities , and power to people with no Well , buy a hand pump ! People with a Well , you’ve been notified
Sound advice!
In this area a hand pump is not good. Wells are 800 to 3500 feet deep. Maybe a solar powered pump?
@@iamdoroda A Hand Pump Kit , uses the existing continuous plastic pipe or modern sections connected of plastic pipe that goes down to your water level underground, you lift the pump / plastic pipe out of the Well casing from where it’s connected to the adapter that’s welded to the Well casing that leads to your Copper pipe which runs under your basement floor to your holding tank , after lifted out , usually about 8 to 12 feet , an adapter is provided in the kit that gets spliced into the plastic feed pipe , gets installed slightly below the connection ( union ) that leads to the copper pipe on the outside of the Well casing that goes to your holding tank , Hand pump comes with a one way check valve so you never loose your prime and comes with enough 1 inch I.D. Hose ( you cut to proper length ) to connect to the hand pump on top your Well casing where the Cap would have been , Hand pump has a quick disconnect fitting so you don’t have to leave it connected all the time , keep it in the house until you need it , for extremely cold places like where I live , the top 5 or 6 feet below the Hand Pump should be wrapped with plugged in heat wrap , to avoid freezing during the winter , and that requires you to run an electrical wire from in the house to the Well Casing , but only needs to be plugged in during the winter , Hardest part of the job is just lifting the pump out of the casing to get to where the one into two adapter gets installed , once it’s done ? You’ll say ? That wasn’t so hard ! Have a Wonderful Day
Your right. If you have enough experience dealing with bad situations you start to get a feel for how people will react. There are exceptions to this. Been surprised a few times myself. In general, if you listen to them and watch what they do on a daily basis you can get a good idea. Life and death situations amplify what a person is on a daily basis.
Good video!!!
@@CorsairTrainers thank you.
You know why I love your channel and the only one i have notification on ... good quality . wise .. realistic and a lot of common sense... People people people effect all good and bad... some have hidden skills, needs, and agendas...
Thank you for always being here. Take care my friend.
While I have a lot of education, training and experience. Certainly not a buff 3/4 century old man. Though several times over my lifetime friends have noted than when things go really wrong A sense of calm comes over me and I deal with the problem without panic or fear of injury or death. My heart rate rather than speeding up drops to thump thump slow and strong. Never figured out why that is. From the 👍. Best
Each according to their gifts…
All true. As they say ... The proof is in the pudding not in the ingredients.
Every piece is important but not the only piece. People may have all the right ingredients/ information/skills/experience, but at any moment that may be not what drives them in THAT MOMENT. ENJOY your weekend, MR.
Agree, people are the worry. Neighbors on all sides od me have kids. When food runs out, we might look good. My husband tends to react with anger and impulse. I think it through. I worry a bout the neighbors and my husband. Great topic!
Thank you sir. Agree 100% with that assessment. Have seen it in the past where the one who you think is going to be the strongest mentally looses it the quickest and is worthless. Great discussion and information today. Have a blessed day.
Good advice!
Very accurate assessment.
Humans are fluid, always changing.
They are also fallible.
Both make them dangerously unpredictable.
Atleast for the great part.
Agree, Modern Refugee
Seems to me like people are always a variable/wild card, even in good times.
Thanks MR 😎👍
👍👍
Enjoyed the video. Only point I would disagree on is your low percentage estimate of younger people with strong work ethics & willingness to pitch in. I raised 6 kids of my own (all are grandparents now) then raised 5 grandkids due to death of parents, Not only has every one of those kids, now young adults, worked since they were in high school but so have their friends. Many in their 20s have well paying jobs & education in varied fields. I've lived in the West most of my life; maybe we just grow them tougher out here but I think most of them will do okay!
Los Angeles CCRN Charge Nurse. I work with all highly educated, highly skilled people. All different personalities, plans, goals, and in 100 different levels of REM sleep. I tell them to: Build a pantry, fill it up, and protect it.
I haven't been on much lately and missed some of your content. I'm just seeing this vid for the first time. You are so right. I'm pretty worried at this point. Our home is paid for. We have no debt. I was hoping to stay here. About 6 years ago, we got some new neighbors. They are both retired gov. employees. The man is a retired undercover vice cop from out west. We are in TN. I do not trust this guy AT ALL. He has said and done some very bad things to me of a sexual nature. Since we have to live nextdoor to these people I didn't tell my husband for years. But, last year, this guy was unloading a bunch of guns out of his vehicle because he and his wife just got back from the range. He actually said this to me. "When things go south you can come over and be my second wife." I just tried to remain stoic and left with no reaction. I have even had dreams warning me of this man. What does he mean? What about MY HUSBAND??? All these things ran through my mind of what this mfer has planned. I'm terrified. Not gonna lie. Now we are making plans to move. I pray to our Father that there is enough time. I do not think all popo are bad. But, from my own personal experience A LOT of them are. Please pray for us. I've been lucky enough to keep my husband off the deep end of going over there and...well....you're a man. I'm sure you understand. Any advice at all? I know we have to move. But, what if we run out of time???
@@theIAMofME if you know local law enforcement, I would say something off the record to them. Because SHTF doesn’t have to happen for people like that to go to far. You have my prayers. Take care the best you can.
Great topic!!
I'm going to curl up like a baby puppy 🐶 😂
That's why you make relationship's with another before stuff gets worse. Because it's going to get worse... I bought some cheap radois for some neighbors for when the power goes out. Little things like that can make a huge difference in showing that you are serious. I want better radios but i just bought what i could afford. Hopefully I will get some GS5R? radios to pass out soon. I can't recall the exact one? Having communication is pretty important if you are watching out for trouble.
Got that straight
@@PenntuckytheCrag I believe it is the way.
So true!
Solid point
100%. I've always told people I don't even trust myself 100%, no one knows how they will react to every situation. We think we know but we simply do not. I even told our local group that. Lets say you have a child killed will you snap, will you carry on, what if its a wife, your house ect ect. I'm not saying we shouldn't learn to control our emotions but you just can't know. If my child is starving what would I do, now think about that with people who haven't even begun to have any sort of plan.
My motto for every situation is “You can’t save them all”
@@rodgreene2687 it’s true.
I really like the idea that your local community will consolidate their efforts. I think your prepper group will be those you live with already.
Brother I don't know what it is but I just love your channel. You are the ONLY channel on youtube that I watch consistently and pretty much every day. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us
Thank you!
Since we will only find out who is solid until the situation is too far gone that means we are really alone now. If we pick the wrong person to trust, we are done for. Get rid of the divisive generational titles. I think there are only two types of people competent and idiots. Thanks for the video.
I think all evaluation of others needs to be as an individual person & not as a group member of any type of group.
The group they happen to belong to is something to evaluated separately & can be an indicator of what the person is like as an individual.....but its only one variable.
As far as belonging to one of the so-called generational groups these groups are Just Methods to Divide Us & Cause Problems between us. Anything is being used to Divide people & keep us too busy fighting with each other to notice that there is a Source causing all of the financial problems, all of the social problems, and so on.
And this is true not only about the so-called generational group & parties, but also, religions, races, locations/which state you are from or city you are from, and so on.
Good video, thanks for sharing, YAH bless brother !
In the show Walking Dead - the older lady was one of the most effective people...
Thankfully I'm quick thinking, I have a lot of patience when needed, an unexpected sense of humor and I'm spot on, when it comes to gut instincts. I'd rather have more people like me, on my side.
Hello ! 84 right now , 12:25 , supposed to get to 86 , high was 88 so far this year , no rain for the last 7 days ,
Yes
You have good neighbors...mine are 💩
@@NothingToNoOneInParticular right now I do, but things change. Who knows what the future holds.
My hens are so lovely. I adore them. They have their own personalities. But they are still a**holes to each other.
People, on the other hand, are completely unpredictable. You have no idea which ones will keep calm and carry on and which ones will just cave in and which ones will become dangerous. At least chickens are predictable.
