I sometimes visit this site called Survival Life and follow them on facebook.
Today, they posed an interesting question and I'd like to hear your answer. (Yes YOU!)
It’s been 5 years since the collapse of civilization. Clothes and shoes are in high demand but in extremely short supply. Everything has already been looted long ago. Materials that could have been used as makeshift clothing and food nowhere to be found. In your immediate surroundings, clothes and shoes aren’t available for bartering. Your only hope to clothe your family and protect them from the coming winter would be to either steal from others or to peel the clothes off of corpses, and risk being infected by a disease. What would you do in this situation and why?

Ambush and kill off the weak for their supplies. Let's be realistic here, Flood. They would most likely do the same, and as OP said, materials used for clothing and food (Deer, other animals..etc,etc) are nowhere to be found. There are no laws in that kind of world. Kill or be killed, and I ain't dying from some shitty disease. That'd make me a pussy. If I'm dying, I'm dying in a blaze of glory.
