    I was hoping to "borrow" 3-4 beans. The last ones I traded for didn't grow into a giant beanstalk and lead to a giants castle as promised.

    What is off limits to me? I have stated here before I think the common every day human living their day to day life is lost in a world of their own, and therefore a fool to what is right in front of them. My wife has a friend who lives in AL, who lives day to day off of the Government, and fully believing the check is OWED to them, and will always be there. My wife has tried to tell her to at least when they get their food stamps to put back some canned goods for a rainy day. She thinks that's a stupid idea, even though when a tornado came through a few years ago and left them with no power for a week, they thought it more important to charge their cellphone from their car battery and drained it, than to have a working car to go get groceries. They told us the gov. Would get them food. I think if things go bad, people like this will get what they deserve. They will wait around for the gov. to help them and they will die with their hand out. They don't want to do the work, they just want to show up after the work is done and reap the rewards. In post SHTF, these people will be gone, and the ones who have done the work and prepared will survive, but for how long? Stored food and water will only last so long, then it too will run out. If you don't have a plan in place to replace what you use, you lose. Some people will only have one plan in place, eat their peas, look at the empty can, then come to try and take yours. I for one will not hesitate to shoot you multiple times if you try. I have planned ahead and stocked up on peas, and so should have you, it's not my fault if you didn't. And when it comes to protecting my family, yes, I will steal from a church to keep them alive if I have to. Yes, I will come and try to steal from you if I have to to keep them alive, as I feel you would do the same to me to keep your family alive. The days of one big happy family will have gone, and it will be survival of the fittest. The days of might equals right will have returned. Does this make me a bad person, maybe so, maybe not. Will I try to help others if I can, I would like to think I would, but until that time comes, I can't tell you for sure. You can't open your doors to everyone!

    I'm not sure if it was mentioned yet, but most people in the country keep gardens, many keep animals. Midnight raids of the pea patch or the chicken coop might be tempting, but one must remember, that most country folk are also Firearms owners, and hunters, etc.

    And, really don't appreciate trespassers.

    Yep, it's one of the reasons I have suppressors, and night vision.

    That be cool, although it would be completely useless against my last ex-girlfriend.

    She was a complete cold hearted bitch.
