The other day I read someone discuss "hoarding." So, I have a question: What is the difference between Hoarding and Preparing? Is it illegal to prepare for a disaster, say beyond a 30 day period?
What is the difference between Hoarding and Preparing?
Greed.
"Is it illegal to prepare for a disaster, say beyond a 30 day period?"
Why would preparing for a disaster of any length of time, e.g. 5 years, be illegal? How much ammo would one need for fending off a disaster for say 5 years? How much water? Food? Fuel? Clothes? Medical supplies? Light? Entertainment materials?
What do you thinking the biggest danger to your well being would be if there was a major disaster, i.e. one in which the normal channels of communication and commerce were seriously damaged or even destroyed? How long do you think you could survive if in an instance you lost all external sources of power, fuel, store bought food stuff, medical supplies, etc., and no prospect for external help on the horizon? My guess is that for those living in a city or town of any reasonable size where they are totally or substanitally dependant on store bought food, fuel, electricity, and city provided water and sewer perhaps 30 days +/.

The EPA has a lot to say about the time factor. As an example, human excrement can not be disposed upon your private property without a permit. How are you going to survive with an EPA inspector always up your ass?
