I cannot ever forget a post on one of Kartographer's threads from back in July sometime. I wish now I'd have saved it, but it went almost word-for-word like this:

"We will kill you. We will kill you and take your stash. We have our orders, we couldn't care less. This is from an active duty military."

And no one challenged that post.

And no one challenged that post.

It will be ugly, no doubt.

I trust no one completely at this point (other than my husband). I'll be keeping an eye on the fellow preppers we will be working with when it all falls apart as well. I expect them to do the same to us. When times are tough, caution must prevail. If we use our resources up and only have enough food for 5 when there are 10 people - even the best preppers and best friends will do what they can to survive.

Hopefully it won't ever come to that and we only need to protect our stashes and our property from the 'outsiders'.

Probably the safest place to live would be outside of a military base in a small town that is filled with those who serve the GIs, who rent homes to their families, who are retired from them, and a town that is remote from outsiders, which makes it more of an extension of the base than a real city.

New Mexico has plenty of towns like that which are isolated by miles of desert and 50 mile vistas with a couple of roads in and out, and not just military towns but also little towns that are made up largely of feds like Border Patrol, DEA, and others who own homes and are locals.
