If you die after living a life of preparedness and it turns out you never needed any of those things you put back away for that ‘rainy day’, I consider that a win.
Notes From The Bunker

I agree, its not like you can take it with you after you cross the Great Divide.
I wouldn’t mind a bit to inherit some or all of that dude’s preps. I guess it is good to know that the son has more than he can possible imagine ever needing already stocked away.
That said, it does rub me the wrong way that this guy went and died deeply in debt in order to buy supplies on credit. That shit’s not cool. Despite what our government thinks, money doesn’t materialize out of thin air. Rest assured that some people somewhere ended up getting stuck with that bill. Likely it’s the other living customers of whatever credit card(s) he used.
Sadly while the father was wise the son was a #@$% idiot. Probably a typical government will take care of me so I’ll fire sale dad’s preps to get a few bucks to blow on something stupid.
I hope the kid has a lot of money to pay the creditors back. The supplies were bought on credit – meaning they secured the debt. Since the kid is using them up, he now has assumed the debt.
He should have left the supplies and told the creditors to come and get them, but he wasn’t assuming his father’s debt.
Sounds like it was bought on credit cards which are unsecured debit.
His fathers creditors can sue his fathers estate to get paid back, but that’s for big ticket items like houses and cars, not canned goods, and six packs of propane bottles.
Either way, the son not liable for his fathers debits.
I never bought any of my stuff on credit, but I do have stuff that has added up over the years. My wife doesn’t want any part of it and I really don’t want my wife to have to deal with it after I’m gone, so I made a provision in my will for my prepping buddies to come and get it. That should make everyone happy, except for me of course.
