I was gonna chime in before, but thankfully others beat me to it.
The problem with professional leeches hoping to latch onto you, counting on your willingness to help those in your “community”, is that you can and likely will do you and yours irreparable harm.
People on the Titanic found out the hard way that lifeboats meant to hold 10 were absolutely unable to hold 20. Boat sank, everyone in the boat drowned.
If you set yourself up so that you have N days worth of supplies for you and yours, you’d better hope N days is enough and the Bad Stuff won’t last 2N days instead. “Sharing” brings down N lower and lower.
Sorry, but if you really care for those close to you, you won’t waste supplies on strangers. And you’d better get that point across before it’s needed.
Seriously, watch that TZ ep, “The Shelter”. If people know you’re “prepared”, you’re the one they’ll all head to for “help” should it be needed. And what you won’t give them, they’ll try to take, even if it means hurting or killing you. Think they’ll be polite about it, if you’re snuggled up in Der Bunker, while they’re cold and starving and dehydrated? They’ll cut you open like a Tauntaun for heat then later butcher you for food.
Then, if you can help (rescue efforts, etc.), great. At least you’ll be in a position to do so.
Hell, even on a plane, they tell parents to take the mask in case of depressurisation. You give it to the kids, you’ll pass out, and then you and the kids might die. No, you take the mask, you stay conscious, and you do what you have to to save both yourself and them.
(Of course, best solution of all is to pretend to be a leech, “Prepare?? Nah, Someone will come and take care of us…”, while all the time stocking Der Bunker on the sneak. At least then, hopefully no one will head your way with torches and pitchforks demanding your stash.)
