11 Is breaking into homes or looting justifiable under survival conditions?

Breaking into homes, looting, or committing robbery and other criminal acts is not justified unless it is a true life-or-death situation. True survivalists never use survival needs as an excuse to commit any kind of crime. We are not looters! However, freezing when an empty home or building is available or starving when food is accessible is also not acceptable. Do these things only if they are fully justified. Limit damages. Take only what you need. Leave IOUs or cash. Survivalists are the least likely to need to be desperate and dangerous in extreme emergencies since they have already stocked up on food and have shelter items with them.
