Everyone knows or has heard of Murphy's Law which states “if anything can go wrong, it will” this applies two fold when it comes to survival planning. Not being an optimist, I tend to favor a back up plan, a plan B if you will, to cover my ass in the likely even of some unforeseen circumstances.
You have a well stocked pantry full of canned food, wheat, corn, beans, salt, sugar, rice, herbs and spices etc., and enough water to last six months or more. You feel well prepared for what ever the world could send down your path, even more so now since you just had that new 1,000 gallon fuel storage tank put up out back, and spent $1,200 on that new AR-15, hell yea! Your ready to go.
Then it happens! You get drunk and run your big mouth one night at the local tavern, bragging to anyone who would lend an ear to your tells of doom and gloom and your survival planning. Disaster strikes, the shelves at the local market are striped clean in a matter of hours, the gas pumps are dry, the water from the tap no longer runs and the lights cease to come on at the flick of the switch. Theres nothing to worry about you had planned for this. Time to sit back and wait it out.
Your buddy Joe six pack, you know the guy you told all about your survival plans, that cloudy night at the suds-r-us he didn't prepare. He thought nothing would ever happen and if it did good old Uncle Sam would be there to save him. Now he's hungry and Uncle Sam is no where around. Remembering the drunken conversation from that night he decides to gather up a bunch of his cronies and they decide to take what you have.
After a spectacular firefight, you make it out with only the clothes on your back , your home and your survival supplies falling victim to a well placed gasoline cocktail that found it's way though your front window. Even your new 1,000 gallon fuel storage tank succumbed to the heat with a big explosion and a huge fireball that could be seen for miles. What will you do now? Oh how you wish you had thought of plan B.
