In fact, SHTF thrives and grows exponentially under more adverse circumstances.

That trip is expensive!!!!) 4 SHTF doesnt care that you are on a boat in the middle of the ocean, regardless of what you paid for the luxury cruise. (Check out ill-fatedCarnival Cruise of the Triumphif you dont believe me!) 5 SHTF doesnt care that you had planned to get your vehicle repaired. You have to evacuate regardless of the leak from the oil pan, the condition of the brakes, and the funny noise in the transmission. 6 SHTF doesnt care that the entire family is ill with the stomach flu. The entire family will just have to pause to throw up while bugging out. 7 SHTF doesnt care that you need new hiking boots and that you just havent had time to get to the store and buy them.

Youll be dining on a can of peaches and some stale crackers. 9 SHTF doesnt care that you always use electronic banking.

Rest assured, if you dont have one, the people coming to take your supplies will. 25 SHTF doesnt care ifyou think doomsday preppers are bat crap crazy, if you dont believe the fecal matter is headed towards the oscillating device, or whether you think its all an alternative media conspiracy theory.
