Reply to: Armed citizens defend their neighborhoods against extreme civil unrest and looting in South Africa Posted July 25, 2021

Wow, how interesting!  The most we have had so far in Australia are the Covid protests.  I did notice a few armed robberies beforehand.  Our country gives its citizens money, but last year the funds were much higher. Some people aren’t allowed to leave their local area – not even to work – and the Govt funding is quite inadequate. We have a very strict lockdown, but thankfully I am a few suburbs away from the epicentre now.  So, while it is not South Africa – things are brewing here with Delta variant loose in Sydney.  I have all my Covid medicines, test once a week(its free), keep a full tank and food supplies, but have learnt a lot during this as to what foods and products ended up short last year.  I have to redo all my preps to suit this situation constantly as the legislation changes. South Africa is a great lesson in prepping, so I have taken note of this situation. We have it on the news here, and I think it is actually worse than the USA riots.  Food has become my focus as we are on stay at home orders.  I am trying to implement a healthy balance to life.  It’s so easy to just laze around all day!  We are also aware of all the violent murders of white farmers.  Key to moving around Sydney is knowing the legislation and what you can and can’t do.  It has been like Russian Roulette choosing a store to go to, hoping you dodge Covid and a 14 day quarantine! I don’t think you really value the vast freedom you had until you’ve lost it.
