Special Report: Preparing for Disaster - Part 2

[Eye of Unk]

It may have been fate but I settled in rural Alaska. No bug out in plan, too remote and very defensible plus food is very much available from fish to mosse almost year round.

But I do have to date 24 number 10 cans of Augason Farms freeze dried emergency foods. And bottled water all stashed in a travel trailer capable of being off the grid.

I pity those that have to plan about evading the city mobs, checkpoints and general urban suffrage.

People panicked and most of the people that were doing the looting and the robbing probably didn’t do anything like that a day in their life

Yeah right!!!!

If we have a total economic collapse, most people in this country are pretty much screwed. City dwellers will quickly become predator or prey. There isn't going to be any holing up in an apartment or commercial building. Mobs will break into every building looking for food, water and weapons. Once everything starts grinding to a halt, the predators will start mobilizing. Traffic will be snarled and walking out will just get you killed. That's just the reality.

Only those in the remotest locations will be insulated from the mob violence. And of those, only the ones who stored up supplies will be able to survive until new food sources are cultivated. In Alaska, those who are way out in the wilderness will be the ones best off, if they have a sufficient food supply. Of the people who live in population centers, the ones who live on an airstrip property and own a plane will be in the best position to bug out.

Bugging in is an option only for small scale disasters, like a week-long power outage or an earthquake that doesn't cripple the entire economy. But when our economy collapses under the weight of all the accumulated debt, we will be in deep feces and it will get really ugly for most of the population.
