Sure! Bring guns so we can have some shooting practice together! :-)

—...at least until the desperate start driving down I-65 in convoys looking for food and shelter. No doubt folks in your part of the world will defend themselves, and no doubt the desperate will do what they need to do to survive....—

Because of the distance, and the effort it will take to get to where I am if we go all “Road Warrior”, I expect my “cull the herd” comment to be implemented.

Living off a road, off a road, off a road doesn’t hurt either. It’s no guarantee, but it improves our odds. Other than that it is, as you say, in God’s hands.

But really, isn’t it always? ;-)

—...I don’t know the weather patterns, critters, plants, etc....—

I checked all that out before I moved here. Interestingly, I still screwed up. In my old home of 45 years, Seattle, you can wander in the woods with impunity all year round, fearing only the occasional banana slug between your toes or the temporary pain of nettles.

Here we have ticks and Chiggers and, as I found out, Turkey mites. I knew that once it warmed up I needed to be careful. I knew this was especially true in the transition areas between the woods and meadows. But I forgot.

I spent an entire day expanding our “meadow” area into our woods using a weedeater while wearing shorts and a t-shirt. A week later I was at the doctor where I got a steroid shot and a bottle of steroid pills. That was a month ago and the rash has pretty much subsided. The doc said “it looks like we have both a bug and plant thing going on here”. I could not wear shorts for a couple of weeks just because of what my legs LOOKED like. And did I mention the itching?

But I knew better. I’m still doing the clearing, but I wear long pants and use the bug stuff. No problems now. I’ll REALLY go to town after the first frost.

—...but I’m not running...

To be frank, fear of SHTF was only about 20% of the reason for our moving here. It was the deal closer for me, though.

Very clever. At least you think so, I'm sure.

Been around prepper circles quite a bit. I've found they mostly consist of a bunch of uneducated lunatics talking a bunch of nonsense.

You better wise up and begin making mutual friends or you will get squashed like a lil bug. No matter how prepared you think you may be.

You'll be counting cans of pork-n-beans in your head while you fall asleep and around 4am you'll be flat on your back with nothing but your skiveez on and hands securely fastened behind your back with a muzzle between your pretty lil baby blues.

Not unless of course your a Mormon with twenty five chitlens to lend a hand.

Just sayin

Try thinking not just saying. Probably won't help you much but at least it will keep your yap shut for a second or two.

I tend to mumble prayers under my breath, depending on the circumstances. That prayer, and Shepard's prayer always bothered my brother. He wasn't military. ;)

No matter where you go you’re going to face some variety of the same problem. There is still a government entity in most places and there are still potentially restive locals.

In fact those two things go hand in hand and to some degree keep each other in check.

I suppose you could go to the North Pole and there wouldn’t be either there but there are practical issues with doing that.

Yep. I’m already there and I agree. I wouldn’t want to be any place other than high up in the mountains/boonies in a SHTF thing or any other thing. I love it here!

Face it folks, no place is safe.
The only question is wether you are prepared to
deal with those that are a threat to YOU.

A bunker without a berm is a grave.
Even with a berm it might be your grave
but you won’t go alone.

Well, the ones in my circle do happen to fall at the more “sensible” end of the lib spectrum if there is such a place.

Typically, while they adhere to some of the insanity, they all do exhibit the occasional flash of sense. They therefore have at least some potential to see the light one of these days.

The complete idiots I stay as far away from as I can.
