Some good points there to be sure. We live in a rural community, not even very close to the suburbs. It would take the gas guzzlers more than a tank of gas to get here.

Economy Car folks, though could make it, as well as the hybrids(shudder). Our kids, grand-kids, and great grand kids are all here though. We might be able to fortify the basement though.

Also we had been discussing getting a storage shed. So maybe it should be a secretly fortified building that also has the materials stored to make it into a fort-like compound.

Anyway, better disguise whatever we are doing, else the eye in the sky might decide to come and appropriate whatever we are “hoarding”.

Since you live in a rural community you should be OK.

Thats where we are headed. 95 miles from the big city. Even in a bad grid down situation the farmers will still get a crop in the ground in Spring even if they have to bring the mules out. People will still be raising their livestock and selling some of it. Orchards will still bloom and bear fruit. Food will be available locally at the farmer’s market for sale or barter.

In the city if something really bad happens there will be sporadic if any deliveries of food. Sewers will back up and garbage will accumulate. Clean water will be scarce. Within a few weeks, dysentary, diptheria etc will start up. Hospitals will be overun and law enforcement will break down.

We are going to feel a whole lot better as soon as we get the well and septic, a chicken coop up and a few raised bed gardens functioning.
