Being inland near the Blue Ridge in NC

I was born in Hickory. Spent my teenage years in Morganton. Spent all my summers on Lake James. =)

Such an odd number... did he calculate it using the number of miles between the earth and sun?


He’s a Liberal so it’s probably out of his indoctrinated azz.

We haven’t had even 65% eligible voter turnout since 1908, most of the time it has been way less than that, and even less for state and local. So the eligible voters who choose not to vote are actually a bigger % than the turnout for any single party.

Also, the poorest are now the most likely to be obese. I don’t think that has ever happened before, hard to imagine them choosing the hardship sustained civil unrest would bring.

Interrupt the internet/social media/easy entertainment sources and you might see something. There’s generations now that have always had super easy access to entertain themselves with technology. Don’t know how they would handle losing it.

If you ever get back, try US 64 West, from Brevard to Franklin. Has to be the single most stunning drive in the east.

For anyone not as concerned as us, at least buy some vegetable seeds and rotate your canned goods.

Squash! Seed to fruit in 30 days in good conditions. It will keep you alive at least.

You’re not eating my dog.

Is it a wiener dog?

I hope to have chickens by next year. :)

I got my first chickens 6 weeks ago. They're a lot of fun!

Even the leaves are edible, if a bit stringy.

If you are in a rural area, you will probably be fine. Good for you.

Failure of Civility addresses urban survival situations pretty well, as well as suburban. It first and formost suggest you work with like minded dwellers/neighbors.

Also, in my opinion the “they’ll just shoot you” types are going to be poorly disciplined and lousy shots. If you get to the point that these types are making threats or attacking, you well before that needed to have posted overwatch with instruction to take action the moment opposing forces start to level weapons at you.

It's going to be tough on them.

People who are obese often have many health issues, and are noticeably not in good shape.

They often waddle as they move and are the ones most likely to use the motorized shopping carts for handicapped.

Matter of fact, I RARELY see a really disabled person using them. Virtually always it's someone who weighs at least 350 pounds and could use the exercise.

I doubt those obese urban dwellers will survive long.

We are racing headlong like a run away freight train to the Tribulation and then the return of the King...Jesus! I can’t see if being more than 12 years.

I guess my point was that poor people being hungry and desperate to feed themselves and their family was historically a huge motivator for civil unrest. I’m not sure it is too likely it will ever happen when they are so well fed, if not healthily fed.

When it comes to survival I think the majority of people in any community will help each other. It’s the minority that will make trouble and we know who the invading immigrants are who have been placed in small towns all over the nation to proliferate for future rebellion.

Satan has been waiting for what, 5000 years for his brief time in power. The issue I see is that so many nations have crossed the line with pre-born genocide that it is only God’s mercy (and the Holy Spirit) that is keeping chaos at bay.

Ever drive Curtis Creek Rd? A winding gravel road that you can get on from the Blue Ridge Parkway and drive all the way down to I40. It's an amazing trail.

The question wasn’t really related to my personal situation, but in general.

I’m in N GA. I have a mix up meth-addicts, drunks, and plain old hillbilly trash, and the usual ghetto suspects about 15 miles to the south for neighbors.

It would be difficult to determine friend from foe in the OP scenario since the selfishness that I’ve observed from “neighbors” resembles a third world country sadly - but that is modern Amerika unfortunately.

We are looking to move and get a bit of land soon. Your situation resembles a lot of what I have in mind to be honest.
God Bless!
