certainty that when a disaster strikes that lasts for any prolonged period, people will show up at your door if you are stocked or better positioned to survive than they are.\u00a0 Over the years, I have read numerous comments about what people would do.\u00a0 The majority of preppers take a rigid approach to what they view as potential looters.\u00a0 Instead of just dismissing them, they\u2019re prepared to expel them from their property through force.\u00a0 Then, you have the opposite end of the spectrum where some preppers set aside small care packages or backpacks to hand out to people who would come knocking so they can be sent on their way with a little bit better chance to survive.\u00a0 Both approaches are problematic, and there is much in between those two extremes.\u00a0 A desperate enough person might try to burn you out to get to your resources, even though that could destroy the resources in the process.\u00a0 And a person who receives a hand-out or hand-up because of your generosity may come around again or tell others which will potentially result in a line outside your door.<\/p>\n<p>In this blog, we will look at those people who would show up at your door and what you can do to both protect yourself and help them.\u00a0 It\u2019s a difficult decision for sure.\u00a0 It is one thing to ignore a stranger or maybe even an acquaintance.\u00a0 It is quite another to turn away a neighbor, friend, or even a family member when your own resources are limited, well-prepared in advance, and you are staring down the barrel of a disaster that may stretch on for an indeterminable amount of time&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the
