In the old days, you could possible hide in the hills and wait out the expiration of an uncontrolled govt.
I think this prepping may be nonsense.
THEY WILL FIND YOU. THEY WILL TAKE YOUR STUFF. AND IT WILL BE THE FULL FORCE OF THE GOVT.
Preppers may want to think about prepping for a fight rather than prepping to wait it out.
I doubt you can even grow a garden in a buried basement as they monitor your electric usage and use infrared sensors to measure your house’s heat signature.
That’s why everyone needs to mantra the phrase “you only need to get ONE”.
When they come for your food, weapons, friends/family or self, you only need to get one of them to fulfill your patriotic duty to the Republic. Any extra ones are frosting for the tree of liberty...
Once again, the logistics of actually trying to do that are unsupportable. There simply aren't enough law enforcement/military.
And people won't take an attempt laying down... there will be resistance of all kinds, from sit-ins to outright fighting.
The combined weight of the western military can't get rid of the opium poppy in a small country like Afghanistan. Forget going door-to-door in fly-over America.

More than likely, there will be no power and the govn. won't able to do squat to you plus cops plus military men will go home and care for their family since there won't be any communication possible and their family won't have any water and food with them gone. You go ahead and do no prepping.
