Correct. It's extremely telling. I'm not a Prepper, but this is a SHTF moment.
I probably need to get my fishing poles in working order...I was never good at fishing.
I'm in the deep South (South Ga), it won't get particularly bad around here...too many folks are armed.
That said, I spent most of my career in NYC and can say that there are too many folks up there who haven't a clue as to how to get along from day to day. The Appalachian Trail will look like a freeway moving South.
Unlike the message of the TV series, Fallen Skies, the stores/warehouses of food will be depleted ASAP. Then one must hunt and fish.
My local squirrels are nervous. But I have fed them for 4 or 5 generations...time for them to feed me.
