I expect internal casualties amongst looter types to be 80% or greater.

And very quickly. Within the first ten days to two weeks.

During the Sandy aftermath the looters didn’t go all that far from their home.

I think the common assumption that we’ll see hordes of looters descending out of the city is misplaced. Those people will be out of gas and fighting each other for whats left.

I see it exactly the same way. I'll contribute to that in every way possible.

Which helps us further out in the sticks.

After feeding on each other, they have to survive getting through a couple communities and the res and exposure to the elements to get to us. And what with the way I see people being so casual about dressing for winter weather, if TSHTF during one of our winters, attrition due to weather is going to skyrocket due to exposure getting this far.

Good news: You're probably correct.

Bad news: If we get pulsed instead of having an internal collapse, that 80% casualty rate will cover everybody.
