First, my question has to do with a TV "Pocky clypse" situation. I.e. almost no one has power, police are at home protecting their own, stores have been ransacked and emptied, etc.
Banding together is the best way to survive. Granted, you should band together with friends or family you know and trust. You know that ADD kid who couldn't hold a job down the streets? Not a good bet to team up with.
But my question is, if you don't have family around here, and your friends are going to sit tight alone in their scattered homes, how does a lone person and his kid find a stranger to get together and survive with? (Sentence ending prepositions notwithstanding.)
I mean, an approaching stranger would have to be friendly. That means, rifle on his back, not drawn. Being polite. Offering to work for shelter and food. That kind of thing. Many people on this board would not accept strangers, assuming them to be low lifes. You would be right, for the most part, but what abuot the small bunch that are really hard working and trust worthy? They could really help you.
How would you test them to see if you might work together to get food and water and shelter? What might you ask them?
First, I'd ask them what their philosophy on life is. See if it's positive or negative.
