“Metropolis of 150”...Your a funny guy Cripp!!! I’m high up in the snowy well forested mountains of the ‘Great American Redoubt’. Nearest town of about 400, (a HUGE majority of whom are conservative, trained gun owning, redneck preppers), ‘down the hill’ about 5 miles. I would advise anyone to get out of large city dodge NOW. Make it happen no matter what you have to do. When the SHTF and M. law is set into place, all roads leading out of the large cities, over mountain passes, interstates etc. will be blockaded within HOURS by the NG. 99.99% will be stuck. Not a nice thought if you ask me.
Just remember when the Soviets wanted to force peasants in wooded areas into compliance in the 30’s they just burned them out. I don’t think the tree huggers will have much of a voice if the SHTF.
