And that is the exact reason I won't offer to share. There will never be enough and people will not keep it to themselves. They will all have friends and/ or family, that need to know about this wonderful person and their food supply.

Economists debate over ‘guns or butter’. My thought is you need guns to protect your butter.
 
No, simple as that, In a tornado, power cut , storm or drought, or other local or regional incident that happens suddenly then of course you would try to help out as best you can. But in a Global pandemic that was well advertised long before it arrived and your neighbours CHOSE not to prep, then NO let them live by the choices they made.

I agree with you completely on that Bill. There is one very elderly lady adjoining our property behind who's children live far away that we keep an eye on that we help regularly. Other than that the others have had every opportunity to stock up and have not. None of them know we are preppers anyway but obviously hard to hide all the gardens. We will just have to be vigilant.
 
The neighbors directly next to my house, I will do anything in my power to help them out. I would give the my last slice of bread if it came down to it. Ones further up the road, forget it. But, I also know that the neighbors would do the same thing for me.

I checked up the older lady that lives behind me (we share a fence) to make sure she was protected. When she pulled that big hand gun and grinned when she said she had protection, I didn't ask any more questions. She is someone who I would never want as an enemy (but we are great friends and is someone that will help anyway I can).
 
In most circumstances, I would not be home. All food, firearms, and anything useful that was portable would be gone. I guess they could break in and have what was left. Under some unusual circumstance that we had to stay, I just wouldn't answer the door. My elderly neighbors, whom are long term friends, would all be with their children if things were bad. The eleven people that comprise the three families that surround me, well, how can I possibly feed eleven people for any length of time. I'm afraid I would just have to barricade the door and hang a sign warning them not to attempt to enter. I would hate myself for the rest of my life for it, if it came to that, but I don't see any other solution.
 
I have a distant (but cordial) relationship with my neighbors.

I would make every attempt to share and help out as much as I can . . . without being judgmental.

Being judgmental is against my spiritual beliefs, and I believe that spiritual beliefs become more important in a crisis, not less. The importance of religion and spirituality is even spelled out verbatim in the June 1999 edition of the military Survival, Evasion, and Recovery manual. They devote (no pun intended) almost 3 pages to it.

I don't believe in practicing certian aspects of my faith only when it's conveinent, easy, or risk-free. I won't be a martyr to my generosity, but I won't be like the goyim (gentiles) in Germany during WWII who pretended that they didn't know what was going on with my people (and yes, there were many non-Jews who fought the Nazis . . . but they were few and far between compared to the ones who just stood by). There were many who turned their backs . . . so part of my cultural upbringing--even my definition of what it is to be a human being--is that I should never do such a thing.

And I won't.
 
Judgemental? Please, don't sell me short.

If SHTF, I will be judge, jury and executioner. Efficiency in motion. Early firm actions will stop numerous future problems.
Defending myself and being nonjudgmental are two different things.

If things get bad, I intend to use punjii sticks (smeared with a mixture of equal parts feces, blood, and crushed-up raw shellfish), razor wire, and so on.

By being nonjudgmental, I mean that I won't decide whether or not to help someone based on religion, skin color, or whether or not they're gay.

I won't decide that certian people are automatically more or less worthy of my hospitality and help based on how they fit into a mold that I create for them.

I won't be like those people who refused to help my fellow Jews because the Jews were, somehow, inferior . . . and unworthy of the same considerations that are (theoretically) extended to all other human beings.
