My beef with all ‘survival experts’ is that they think they have it all figured out. IMO, there are too many variables, strokes of bad luck or good, the unpredictability of human nature all added to a scenario that HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. Yes,the world has seen collapses, hyperinflation, and all the rest, but it has NEVER happened in a country as large, diverse, and affluent as America. All we can do is cover the basics and then try to be ready for whatever life throws at us. Adaptability is going to be key.

I plan to ‘bug-in’, but have a fall back plan to another location not far away were we can lay low and out of the way.

Not enough ways out of town that won’t be clogged for one thing.

Luck both good and bad always has something to do with every survival situation.

I like your post.

Prepping is great. But arrogantly thinking one has it made is probably just as dangerous as the reverse, panicking.

This will be like nothing we've ever been through and who knows how long it will last? Flexibility and adaptability and keeping one's head - along with prepping - will help us survive.
