If a general feeling of crisis takes hold, then we can descend into hell very quickly. Think New Orleans but much worse, spread out to a whole region the country. Even the police will be defending their own.
I don’t know what the catastrophe might be, but it could be meteorite striking the earth, revolution by NRA, some biological attack, or whatever. It’s not that I believe that will happen in my lifetime, but if you have the money and can buy a farmhouse in someplace remote, fertile, beautiful, and enjoyable, then why not?[/quote]
The problem with the remote locations is that if it’s safe, fertile or has anything worth taking, someone or more likely, some group would come by and take it.
I watched a few episodes of that Doomsday Preppers show and you have quite a few people stocking up for the apocalypse…Some of these groups have 20-30 people they know, heavily HEAVILY armed with tons of guns/bullets and everyone is trained to use them. They also have their own fort, but if they need to move, they can move within 1 hour with tons of food and their buses, a few other cars.
It just seems if you are alone or in a small group, your best bet is to just lay low or hunker down if you can or out of sight. If you show anything worth taking, expect someone to take it.
So do a lot of people here have their emergency stuff? We’ve been stocking out evac bag and have some fuel, but nothing crazy…(too expensive and silly). No guns though due to kids.
