(for the YEARS it took to hunt down Geronimo, post shtf, dummies? What will be the coin in which they are paid, and who cares for their families while they are gone, hmm?
shtf will NOT be like your "wild west' fantasies. There will be NOTHING much in the way of cooperation or sharing of duties. Virtually nobody is going to have any time to spare for such things. The people you THINK are going to help you are the ones who will be preying upon you. They AINT nearly as "ready" as you "think" that they are.
