That sounds like the Idea situation – the thing I’m wondering about is what do you do if your like a lot of people living near a city in suburbia – do you bug out to somewhere unknown or do you shelter in place?

A lot of the doomsday scenarios assume that live will revert back to a “Simpler Time” where people grew their own food etc. - this after a lot of chaos of a collapse.

I am not sure that people would put up with this for any major length of time – they are used to having the convinces of life – electricity, running water, etc.

Unless the looters manage to destroy all the utility infrastructure, that will still be around, those things could come back on line.

It’s one thing to have lived before these conveniences– people didn’t know any better, but now people know what’s possible and they will want it back.

In the short term you have to bug out. The Obamazombies are going to come out of the urban areas and loot everything within easy reach. Lets call that a 3 hour drive. If you are inside that area, and have anything of value, it is either going to get looted by the corrupt Obama pseudo government warlords, or by the gangs.

Now if you are going to run, you need to run early. Farmers are planners, and despite what the MSM will have you believe farmers aren't dumb. Now the first thing they are going to realize is that anything that increases travel time between them and the nearest city will make them safer. Farmers have fertilizer, and diesel fuel for their equipment. The combination of the two will allow them to remove highway bridges. Since most street gangs lack engineering companies with bridging equipment this will stop the gangs quite nicely. However it will also trap you in with the street gangs. And that is a situation that you most definitely want to avoid.
