If the SHTF I’m SOL. We’re in south Florida and the only game around here is possums, coons an bunnies. I’m disabled and don’t have whole lot of mobility. I’m down to a couple hundred rounds of 9mm and 38 hollow point. The wife and I both require a LOT of meds. Got some canned food set aside and will be adding to that soon. A lot of Ramen is in our future. Our house has a couple of ponds nearby for water for the toilets. I am saving filtered water in gallon milk jugs. Being in south Florida, our exit routes are very limited. Sometimes I wish I’d retired back to Michigan, but I opted for the idyllic lifestyle.

Prayers up.

Perhaps you will have neighbors you can assist with your life experience.

Bunnies are good eating, but low fat--too lean to live off of unless you have fat bunnies (8^D). Meds can be a problem, if you can't find a growable herbal alternative.

Any fish in the ponds?

(BTW, think about Michigan, then think about all the firewood you won't have to haul...)

Consider, too, that we aren't all going to be out there surviving alone. Small communities are the ticket--even in rural areas, and if, for instance, you could watch a neighbor's little kids while they were farming/hunting/fishing/whatever, you might be able to trade that. Skills are important, and depending on your skill set, might be valuable (teaching youngsters to read and write, for example, or to repair things as they get older.) Think outside the box, and see what you can come up with.

The bottom line in surviving is to find a way and never give up.

Watch your water storage. Today’s milk jugs eventually will fail- and you will have water every where but in the jug. That did not used to be the case.
