The late great Irish comedian Dave Allen had a sketch on his TV show in the late 70's/early 80's.
IIRC: He is shown in a dimly lit bunker fiddling with his radio, hearing static but other sounds. Screen fades. Comes back and he has stubble, scene repeats but there is more static. Screen fades. In the last scene he has a full beard and only static comes from the radio. You see him climbing out of his bunker to a scene of nuclear devastation - and he starts shouting "We won! We won!"
For these people who want to save themselves, what on earth do they expect to find after 'the event'? How will they fuel their planes, spend their money, how will they have a future?
I'm not saying that your average prepper is wrong, far from it, but the people in this article are on a very different level.
