“They will attack fast too - within 96 hours of the event.”

Curious as to your rational for the above. We have had events last a couple of weeks in some areas, but we do not seem to see what you suggest.

Wouldn’t it take nearly that long for most people to even figure out it was a SHTF or TEOTWKI event?

I only pick “96 hours” because of the average amount of supplies in American homes.

My real point is that they will make a mistake very quick. It won’t take weeks or months. They’ll hide in your bushes the moment they run out of cigarettes - much less an actual food item.

I try to use the “Rules of 3” [they are NOT engraved into stone, but real good guidelines] 3min with out O2,3 hours without good warm shelter,3 days without water,3weeks without food & you get death.

Now the average store has about 3 days worth of food stored in it. so you can roughly figure 1 week before the food riots start, but when those in the inner cities have figured out that there is NO law & order avail, they are going to tear themselves apart right away, and the survivors will start making their way out of the cities towards the suburbs. And those in those areas will hold out for a bit, but won’t last long. So then they all will head to the rural areas. I’m just hopin that the Veterans that are left will start to band together & put the world back in some sort of a working condition/s.
