I had always though that the best prepared people for a SHTF are the ones that have already been thru one or more.
It would appear that you have done that and done well by your experience.
Thanks for sharing and congrats.
Growing up 50 years ago in a small railroad town, (mid way between two large cities) we had a yard, round house (repair place).
So we had the Hobo camps, the RR "dicks", didn't know what it meant at the time, and the whole hobo marking system, as to where day work was, and food etc.
As kids we would hang out with them sometimes, (What God Forbid, They will eat you, or worse) I can't imagine kids doing that today, actually I can't imagine that we did what we did.
We brought food or were sent to fetch some help with raking, odd jobs and such.
As kids we thought that they were kinda cool, and we even envisioned taking off my self.
I would suspect that homeless today are not the same, but I might be wrong.
If the economy keeps spiraling down, I think that we will see many more joining the ranks.
And it not be pretty.
