I am thinking just the opposite that I hope I don't run into anyone like this! From a preparedness and skills standpoint it is awesome to have someone like this on your team if you plan for that in advance and they know and trust you but in shtf situation I imagine people's mindset defaults to suspicion and fear and mistrust so I would rather not encounter anyone who is likely to quickly form a judgment that I am a potential threat to them or a liability....I can think of worse things than having them view me as a threat or liability too but I don't want to let myself go there now. I'm still in shock and even denial, I think, at what is unfolding in our beloved country. But that is not an excuse for inaction so I will direct more energy to learning and preparing in some way every day. Thanks again for the list and ideas, original poster.
