The Wife and I have had many discussions of a post-SHTF, she knows I am very much anti technology and she knows I have since changed my thinking to some of it and I have, she has encouraged me to seek out other alternatives other then my own (one of the reason I am here) she got me signed into twitter (don’t really use hardly anymore) and facebook (I since dropped FB) I finally changed out much of my equipment for smaller, more efficient and lighter equipment because of sites like this, I finally gave in and picked up some solar panels and I am looking to expand on it because of the things she had said and made perfectly good since and her being a mom has concerns for the kids and grand kids.
Lisa works in the scientific field (right now I’ll keep it off the public view) she has a lot of un-completed research not on the centralized backup but remains on her system, in the past I always said hell with it. Lisa explained things this way and I am shortening it, ‘…after society destroys itself or an unprecedented catastrophe we need to have in place some form of continuity, we cannot give up on society and lose what we have gained in terms of scientific findings, at some point we will rebuild’ (she never uses the word SHTF) she has said ‘we need to save what is good because, it will be needed again’ I have been very much in tunnel vision mode most of my life, I am slowly changing to some degree.
I do believe we should maintain some form of continuity unless one wants total isolation and/or absolute anarchy. The beginning of the year Lisa had me digitize all of our pictures and documents and put them on two portable backup drives and just recently started backing her work to a third drive and storing them along with my emergency communication devices in a faraday can. Prepping shouldn't be about just hitting the bush and saying bye bye world, we have disasters across this planet everyday that isn’t a worse case SHTF scenario and I believe Lisa is right, even in a worse case scenario society will try to rebuild it's human nature, we should try to maintain what we already learned not throw it away and like she told me, because you adopt some modernization doesn’t mean you give up on the past.
Lisa has proven maturity has nothing to do with age.
