Not very smart at all to advertise publicly the fact that you are "prepared" with a year's supply of food. And it's not the government that the Shaw's should be most worried about but their neighbors. For they will be beating a path to their door at the first sign of trouble, knowing that they have a full year of food and supplies.

I can hear the neighbors now..."But George, you have a whole year's worth of food down there...surely you can spare a box of crackers and a little cheese so my pregnant wife can have something to eat.

They will start out being polite and civil about it but as conditions worsen, they will simply show up in the middle of the night with torches.

The true survivalists do not brag on how much they are storing away. They keep a low profile and when the crap hits the fan, they will pretend to be just as inconvenienced as everybody else. They will also not be firing up a generator at night as they know that will attract looters to their door like a porch light attracts moths.

The key is to be surrounded by as many like minded, prepared people as possible.

It won;t be pretty in the cities.

Keep a low profile and blend in.
