Storage Lockers

[Colombo]

Why isn't that when I mention doing something so " morally unethical " people think that I'm doing it on hour fucking 1?



I don't think that but lets just say some of us recognize your "youthful enthusiasm". Experience often pops to mind for many of us with scars and memories of past misadventures (ours and our friends still with us or not) often stemming from under informed or not fully thought out decisions. One of my favorite quotes has been changed due to age and experience " A wise man learns from his mistakes" now makes me smile and think "A fool learns from his mistakes, a wise man learns from the mistakes of others".
The faster you can get a grip on the relation of action and reaction/consequence  and temper it with experience and an understanding of how chance, luck, fate, karma or what ever you want to call it plays its part, the faster you'll get ahead, hopeful with the scars of experience born by others. Sometimes immediate action is needed and dawdling while making a decision is just as bad as just jumping in, I wish you the best and recommend cultivating a good understanding of history particularly as applicable to a situation. I don't really recommend books but one you would be wise to consider in regards to wrol would be SOG The secret wars of Americas commandos in Vietnam by John Plaster. The concepts of out numbered and surrounded I don't believe are fully understood by many preppers.

There are a lot of good points in Colombo's post. 

I also think people underestimate Rambo, er I mean Reaver.  He made it back from Bush's war.  That means he saw some shit and made some good decisions.  I read awhile back that the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan had the highest number of daily enemy engagements of any of the actions the U.S. has been involved in.

This thread brings up a question.  How soon after WROL or TSHTF is it considered ok to requisition needed items while foraging?
Day one, day 20, or 3 years later?  Wait too long and your chances of finding any said supplies go down significantly.  What do you think?

i think reaver has a awesome point about storage places because idk in wrol whos gonna want to get "some old furniture" wink.i mean if u wait a couple weaks i dont see a problem because eventually someone walking by will get the same idea and ur missing out. [url=http://yoursmiles.org/p-m

To the question of how long bfore its ok to occupy or loot storag units. The answer seems obvious to me. When your current resources run out and it is blatantly obvious no help is coming. I dont think you can put a time line on it.


For the more individual part, where it is obvious the owner is currently using the supplies. I dont agree with the, if they arnt guardng it I'm going to take it mentality. Seems like a real quick way to get shot or if you get lucky just a waste of bullets when its not needed. I really dont care what war anyone saw, or what they did. When bullets fly there is always a certain factor of luck. Skill might be a much higher percentage but luck is still involved. It might work out a few times but eventually, just like every other robber in history, your luck will run out. If your luck doesnt your bullets will. On this same note, isnt this the reason we prep? So we dont have to be the robbers? So we can not just survive like the rest of the robbers but live? Beans, bullets and band aids. Not just bullets

Excellent reply my friend.  [URL=http://www.smileyvault.co [URL=http://www.smileyvault.co
You have hit some important points of time, energy and whats actually going to be found in a storage locker or restaurant supply stores.
I would like to pose another question concerning this.
If a plague hits and kills off lets say 2/3 of the general population. Would your views on storage unit req change?
Oh and Reaver this was a really good question. You started an awsome dialouge.

Well, that's what I try to do. Bring the not so correct or human  aspect out of perfectly good people. That always brings for good debate and conversation.
