You are saying you are an old guy? Come live here. Old guys know so much and are so capable in severe situations.
I think we need an “Old Timer Survival Club”. What a powerhouse that would be.

Common theme. In Rescue Dive training, the mantra is do not turn a solo rescue into a double rescue.

I don't kneecap people that piss me off, mostly, and I expect the same from others. That the big issue. Because I tend to piss people off. ;)
Kippered herring, stewed tomatoes and beer is traditional for Sunday mornings. Harumph!
You would have to make it here on your own after everything turns to crap. Bring food and EMT stuff. Don't try to sneak into the AO. It's not healthy.

That IS the theme. If the EMT, such as myself, enters a bad situation and gets hurt/wounded, then the EMT just adds to the trouble.
Not long ago, just a month or so, I went to bed upstairs at 2 am, and took off my emergency pendent and dropped it on my bedside table. In a short time, there was a loud banging on my door. When I dropped the pendant, it hit something that punched it's button and it alerted the base unit downstairs and it called 911. Since I was upstairs, I didn't hear that happen.
I went to the door and it was like Christmas with so many flashing lights going. Two cop cars were there, the fire truck, and ambulance. There had to be 12 or so people standing there and the firemen were ready to tear down my door. I held out my pendant and said what happened and apologized profusely.
When they were convinced I was okay, the procession left my house. The police show up to make sure the situation outside isn't dangerous and are ready to deal with whatever is inside. After they make their outside assessment, the firemen are there to tear down the door and evacuate the patient from upstairs if that's where the patient is. The EMTs are there to deal with the medical emergency.
I think they were there within 8-10 minutes of the unit calling 911.

"If your neighbor breaks in to your house to steal your food for his children, will you shoot him?"
You haven't answered anyone else so I really don't expect an answer to this, but is your plan to standby and allow someone to steal your food the food meant for your family and do nothing? What if they just decide to kill you and family and take all you have is your plan to just stand there?

Anyone who breaks in will kill you - they have taken the killing path if they try to break in.

This year I’m considering Halloween decorations that include manikins nailed to trees, impaled, etc. and labeled with signs that say things like “Looter”, “Rioter”...
No particular need to take them down before the elections, I suppose.

The closest thing we could have to a riot here is a fence down, and cows in the road......

Not old enough, yet. Still young enough to think I’m not getting old. However, we youngins can’t let those oldtimers get beat on. Besides, after the bad guys were done beating up on you they’d just come after us, so we might as well take care of them while we know where they are.

I would cheerfully kill for a wafer fab job anywhere but California.

I brought up living
like people lived 200 years ago. We have access to and can stockpile supplies that will significantly improve our lives that were not available 200 years ago, which is what makes your life expectancy bit irrelevant. We can stockpile antibiotics, chemicals to make bleach, things like that. Learning how to provide food for ourselves without industry to provide it is what I meant by living
like people lived 200 years ago, which is why I specifically mentioned animal husbandry. Vegetables will be available much sooner than antibiotics or chemicals when the SHTF, so it seems wise to stockpile the things that will be more precious and more rare.
I've done that, btw, for over a year, in an unheated shack on the side of a mountain with no commercial electricity and only a manual well for water.
I guess, by your estimate, that was before you were 32.

a great book to read about this issue is called Earth Abides by Stewart.
It is the story of the return to sociatial functioning after a worldwide disaster.

The end of the world as we know it might not happen, but where we live, we can have blizzards or ice storms and power outages that last for days.
That’s what we are prepping for. Fuel, canned goods, TP, dog food and coffee.

I think we need an Old Timer Survival Club. What a powerhouse that would be. I keep trying to convince the silver-haired golf cart crowd in my AO to mount mini-guns on their vehicles. They can be so sneaky at times, moreso than those of us who still raise hell with noisy ATV/UTV's. ;)
