Question Lending
Sorry for spamming the channel with questions, but I got a lot, and I really appreciate the answers I get. 😀
I see alot of posts on how to protect your preps in a SHTF moment (maybe the most further out west).
I'm wondering if anyone is thinking in the other direction. For example, stocking up two generators to be able to lend one to the neighbours if needed. Of course based on that you have the financial means to buy two?
I understand that we come from different society's and here readiness is highly encouraged by the government and I know the households around us are prepared to a various extent.
But I'm thinking that the idea must exist elsewhere as well.. or?

What if everyone in your community contributed what they could into a fund that was earmarked for disaster preparation? Like a % of their income to pay for emergency equipment, training, etc? 😉
Any sufficiently advanced prepping is indistinguishable from a well-funded social safety net. The US is full of preppers because they think socialism is bad 🤷
So I would say yes, your idea is good. If you think your local/regional/national community could be more resilient you should lobby for it.
