When you sent Hoss into town to restock the Ponderosa?
You might be quite fine in a self-contained farm of sorts. A handful might be.
But most people in the USA live in cities/suburbs. We rely on manufactured products such as gasoline, refined sugar (yes, that is manufactured), plastics, clothing, booze, etc.
It isn’t me that is in the bubble. You might be able to “survive” — but the entire globe to fall back to an Amish level of technology? Even Haiti isn’t there.
It doesn’t make any sense outside of adverse extraterrestrial intervention.
A handful may be all that survive. I've made a point of being qualified to be in that number.
Most people in cities/suburbs are 21 days from starvation. There are 3-5 days worth of food in the grocery stores.
You live in a fragile world. I wish you luck.
My world is not so fragile.

Zombieland. Don't expect the rest of us on here to feel any sympathy when the zombies stumble out of the city. You say it won't happen, yet you keep posting.
