I've been considering this issue and one thing I'm wondering is what is the best type of venue for survival?

It depends on where you are. If you are in a farm community your main concern is holding on to what you already have and keeping the Obamazombies from looting your seed grain. So in that case you need the small close community in order to have enough people for patrols, mount fixed defense, and to do the farming.

If you are like me and live in an area that will become decidedly unpleasant in the SHTF scenario, you want the small family group, so you can throw all your stuff in a couple of cars and try to get out of town ahead of the Obamazombies.

Now like i said the best group to be in is a reinforced infantry division sitting on a base with your dependents surrounded with multiple rows of razor wire, berms, and mine fields. A couple of years worth of ammo and MRE's stacked in the warehouses and you are all ready for a vacation to beautiful Armageddon. One in which the only question is weather it is better to use 155mm howitzers or 25mm bushmasters to break up concentrations of Obamazombies.

That sounds like the Idea situation – the thing I’m wondering about is what do you do if your like a lot of people living near a city in suburbia – do you bug out to somewhere unknown or do you shelter in place?

A lot of the doomsday scenarios assume that live will revert back to a “Simpler Time” where people grew their own food etc. - this after a lot of chaos of a collapse.

I am not sure that people would put up with this for any major length of time – they are used to having the convinces of life – electricity, running water, etc.

Unless the looters manage to destroy all the utility infrastructure, that will still be around, those things could come back on line.

It’s one thing to have lived before these conveniences– people didn’t know any better, but now people know what’s possible and they will want it back.
