SELCO: When Our SHTF Started, We Thought it Was Just a Temporary Disruption Too

**This is an excerpt from Selco’s book SHTF Survival Stories
It feels very wrong for most people to look at this. This shows how much we are out of touch with nature. Most people want to eat meat but not kill it themselves for example. What happens to the gazelle is not good and not bad, it's nature. It simply is.
When you find yourself in a survival situation you get quickly in touch with nature again. And nature is cruel, and the concept of fairness does not exist.
It is hard to be prepared for that before you experience it. But understanding how nature really is and that we only live in a soft bubble protected from the true face of nature, is the first step.
Editor's note: One of the most important lessons you can take from Selco's stories is the value of realizing what's going on early in the situation. When the rules seem to be changing right before your eyes (does this sound familiar?) believe what you're seeing. Not allowing cognitive dissonance to take over could save your life. This lesson is especially appropriate right now. How many people have you heard blithely talking about when things go right back to normal? Recognize that the disruption may not be temporary. ~ Daisy
Here is an experience I want to share.
When SHTF started, the great majority of us thought that what was going on around us was something like temporary rioting that got a bit out of control.
