A family I know pretty well told my yesterday that in preparing for the very had times they see coming, the son of the family (19) is studying with someone on how to make automatic weapons. More properly probably is how to convert semi-auto to auto.
The notion is that in some sort of apocolyptic Mad Max world, the ability to do so would be this barter skill.
In the mean time they are neglecting gardening skill, butchering skill, cheese making skill, etc.
I am not making this up.
I know. The reason I left some of those survivalist communities is because they take to the opposite paradigm. Our philosophy, at least mine, is do as much as you can for yourself and your fellow man, and do harm only when your own survival is threatened. However, there is a whole other group of people out there who believe they should be the top of the food chain, and who would survive by thievery and force, creating that Mad Max world. Why learn to butcher if you can take what others butcher...that kind of thinking. That is most certainly not me.
