My prepping involves knowing how to make beer/whiskey from the dirt up. I figure anything else I can trade from there. Including your women.

I feel like if we've got to the point where we go back to bartering, I've kind of lost interest in surviving because that means pretty much all of the civilization is gone.

The only thing the paranoid preppers did was raise the price of ammunition.

Going back to COVID. one had to wear a MOPP IV suit and decontaminate everything you touch 24/7, including the interior of your car and the ultimate petri dish, your mobile phone. For the folks who grew a beard and wore a mask, FU, you compromised the mask.

In hindsight it doesn't feel like it was a proper SHTF moment. Some of the early reactions did make it feel like one but in the end not that much happened where I live. Try to stay away from people for a while and use a mask seemed like the extent of it. Spent a lot more than outdoors than I usually do.

So if a zombie outbreak occurred these people would fuck us even worse

On a deeper level I think it's mostly a framework of acceptability some people have built around being antisocial and afraid of everything.

Was there actually news indicating that preppers, as a group, were more likely to be against masking than for it?

I wouldn't be too surprised, but I haven't actually seen any evidence to this effect.
