nice.

but those would draw attention. the best scenario would be to avoid detection as much as possible. once discovered, decoys or distractions might help in a crucial moment.

if i was still in PA, i’d prolly have a 50+ acre chunk in the mountains somewhere remote near a lake or major stream (i can remember a few places in central PA that would be ideal).

in a SHTF scenario, keeping your head down is key to survival

” in a SHTF scenario, keeping your head down is key to survival “

Thank You!!!

Ive always thought that in most situations, it’s better to be a mouse than a lion...

My personal strategy is “cache and scoot” - cache the bulk of my stores away from the house - a number of smaller caches being preferable to one big one.. (fortunately, I have enough wild land around my house to be able to do this) And, at the first sign of trouble, I and mine are off to the tall weeds - ‘they’ can have the house and whatever on-hand supplies ‘they’ can find, and once they’ve moved on, we’re still alive and supplied and can repair/rebuild whatever damage ‘they’ leave in their wake...

Maybe not as sexy as the “fight to the death” theme that permeates these discussions, but I’m betting that it’s more survivable.... ;)
