VERY well said ‘7. “DO NOT WAIT” and “you NEED IT NOW” is 100% dead on the money. I’m retired and way ‘out and up’ but I do have some older and retired, (who could leave/live/move anywhere they might want to go), longtime friends still in the ‘big city’ whom do not see what is coming and I worry for them. What they do not understand is that when the first start of a real SHTF scenario manifests it is that one of the Fed’s/FEMA/National Guard/local militarized LEO’s, (pick one!), very first and SOP’s is to get the main roadways, entrance points to mountain pass routes, airports, train stations etc. out of the big cities blockaded. Sure some folk will ‘leak’ out and through after the block points go up, and they will be established and fully supported FAST, but for the most part the 98% left trapped will self ‘thin their heard’, just as planned by the Feds, within weeks as food and water run out and complete hell comes. Once that number is reduced by that attrition, to what the Fed’s gestapo who HAVE stocked up on food/water/clothing for the long haul, deem a ‘manageable’ total, ie: not enough of ‘em to put up a decent fight, they will move in and mop up.
