Welcome to Steemit! Nice to meet you Doug! I think depending on where you live, will depend on the types of activities we will see should the collapse take place. In larger cities it will be s total mess. Folks living in the same areas for decades who haven't formed connections with their neighbors will not be as likely to reach out and help as us country folk.
I wish I could be ad optimistic as you are. We need to help others now through conversations and education on how to prepare. For those most skeptical, I believe through normal conversations about current events where people have died or struggled to survive due to harsh weather, etc. is the best way to reach them. I am slowly bringing my husband around by doing this. Then asking what we may need to have on hand in that event.
I pray if there is a collapse it is more like you described than what I envision. You know what they say..."Hope for the best. Prepare for the worst."
Oily..... I like your soccer ball propane tank!!!
Thank you! We love it! You wouldn't believe how many folks try to buy it off of us! Lol!
