A lot of good points mentioned in this article. When the SHTF, about half the population will be dead inside a month.
I’m content with the thought that while I’m prepared, I’ll likely be one of the first to die. I have no combat experience, I am not physically fit (although I am active), and I have no knowledge of traps, tactics, etc. I’ll sit tight for a short while with my family and my arms, shoot if I have to, bug out if the opportunity presents itself, but I’m a desk jockey. Most of us are. I don’t know that I’ve got it in me to run for the rest of my life.
