The problem is if everyone is related to everyone and you aren’t. There are some places where thirty years later you are still new people if not outsiders.

My father came from a town like that. When I went to my grandmother’s funeral people came up and told me, “I walked to school with your daddy, your great-granddaddy taught me Sunday school.” But those people are old or gone, and most all of my family is moved or gone now. So I am not sure that’s where I want to go - it’s on the interstate, and NC has had a lot of immigration in the last twenty years. My family name used to take up a good many lines in the phone book; now there are more Jimenezes than there ever were of mine - and hardly any of mine.

"very dire.

will i need glenn beck’s 250 lbs of flour behind the living room sofa and a machine gun?
"

That's a good idea. :-) Be sure to also stock up heavily on coffee, sugar, whiskey and chocolate. When the time comes, I'll take a seat with popcorn and a beer to watch from a distance.

I hear ya. It took me 3 years to get some form of acceptance because I was only up there on weekends at my cabin. You have to slip up sideways on folks not head on. If you volunteer for the food bank delivery or donate some vests to the local PD it goes a long way. Now they want us to join the Sheriff’s auxillary.

If they are liberals I hope you have antivirals and antibiotics. Dewormers too. Some of that stuff doesn’t die even when cooked.

Unless those rednecks know you and feel friendly towards you, you’re going to be on their list eventually. You’re the outsider and they’ll turn on outsiders if you look like a supply of goods they’re running short on.

About the marauding gangs, the Bosnian guy suggested breaking a few of your own windows and throwing stuff out in the yard to make it look like your place has already been looted.

In many scenarios most people know police are stretched thin. In personal one on one conflicts, no witnesses, heresay, etc, the living person can say the other freaked out and it was self defense, etc.

Who’s going to be around to dispute it? that’s the danger to this. Lots of people alive today don’t go after people because they don’t think they can get away with it under normal conditions. They fear the punishment. Under major stress and you look like Sams in your prep supplies....

You gotta stock up now anyway while food prices are still relatively low (but rising). They will keep rising 5-10% a year for the near future, I expect.
