Thanks for the link. I find these posts very interesting because it gives a stark, realistic contrast to those of us who may be prone to thinking of these potential extreme situations in terms of our own fanciful imaginings. I have a tendency to think that because I’ve been in combat, that somehow I am largely prepared for this type of situation; the fact of the matter is that while such experience may help me in the defense aspect of such a situation, there’s still much work to be done in the way of preparing myself and my family for the whole host of other extreme factors that come into play here. This provides a good counterbalance that forces us to think more realistically of what a total social collapse would look like, with or without a full-scale civil war raging around us.
