SHTF (Preppers and sh*t)

Some things to thinka bout...:paranoid:

One of the best reasons to not be in the city or suburbs is a possible SHTF.

Bottlenecks
Ever get caught in holiday Traffic Jams leaving the city?
Good luck driving out during a SHTF.
Distance of a tank of fuel 200 to 500 miles? How much fuel can you carry?
What can be carried on your back maybe all you can get out with.

Rural communities are armed and have been living and working together.
If you aren't family or proven friend, why would they take a chance on you?

Locals have knowledge of terrain.
They live in defensible valleys with roads, ridges, and gullies.
Good luck getting through.

How many of you can really hunt?
How many of you can grow food enough to last a winter?
How many of you know how to forage where you are, let alone where you want to go or end up?
How many of you know how to process food to last longer than a few weeks if not years?
How many have kept warm through a winter with firewood you collected?
I never did it without a chainsaw, when the gasoline is gone, it's ax and handsaw time.
I've lived off grid and we still used gas and propane for saws, pumps, generators and refrigeration.

I consider my self pretty good at growing, foraging, fishing and hunting than most, but it will still be sketchy as I have never committed to it 100% as my food. I might be doing 50%.
