Unlike the Mexicans that leave their country like cowards, we will stay here and fight!
If I can’t take my Guns with me, it’s nowhere that I would want to be.
Born here, die here, it’s just a matter of when and how.
It would be more akin to Jews leaving Germany before it shut down....leaving would entail being smart enough to see the writing on the wall.
They will stay in the urban areas and kill each other wholesale....like they do now. By the time the food runs out, the gas will be gone.
The gang thugs will be the most dangerous until Obama gets the military in place, but their ammo won’t last long and smarter gangs will form to deal with their “wilding” strategy. They will be telling one sided victim stories galore in the aftermath.

>>>But I do not know if we can ever truly survive...the vast majority of us have never had to live stripped of our culture and conveniences. If we get knocked back 150 yrs, I don’t remotely have the skills to survive. Wife and i don’t have a mule, don’t have access to a mule and wouldn’t know how to plow, straight or otherwise.
Lots of folks in the same boat, I suspect.<<<
I’ve actually lived under those circumstances. I won’t bore you with details, except to say that it was extremely easy for me to imagine why the life expectancy was 45 years old in the early 19th century. And that’s with a supermarket available for things like salt and butter. I would imagine many people would die horrible deaths... which is why they would beg for a dictator.
God help us.
Really nice...looks peaceful and private...
We have three acres in a ruralish county in VA to the west of Norfolk...we love it and we too keep it private...this after 26 years of life in the Navy...
Nice to get to know a fellow FReeper! Cheers...
Hey, I volunteer to walk the Wall with my .20 gauge...
It’d be like keeping out “walkers” from the compound!
Congratulations on your escape from America.
I have not been to Leyte, but Ormoc should be a nice city.
All of Visays is nice, and much better then Luzon or Mindanao.
Cebu is rated as the third best island in Asia by Travel and Leisure Magazine.
My cottage is about 150 feet from the sea.
Yes, a couple can have a nice life here on $1000 per month.
I pay only $100 for rent...one BR with A/C, TV, Fridge, and
microwave included.
I have added G-Sat TV. Do not get Dream Sat. unless you hate FOX and love CNN, haha.
Ormoc should have cable TV which may well have up to 100 ch.
Cable is working its way south down Cebu from Cebu city.
DSL internet is common in most places, with up to 2 Mb speed.
As for storms, you will see far fewer then expected.
I have seen only one typhoon in four years that came close to Cebu.
Even the rain has been far less then I expected.
It does, however, get hot...into the 90s.
Inside, I live under ceiling fans, one over the bed, and one over my computer chair.
They are amazingly cheap, like four bucks.
We use the A/C only when going to bed, and it is on a timer to cut off after a few hours. The fan is more then enough, and sometimes I need a light cover.
Another great thing about life in the Philippines is that one does not need a car, unless living in some very remote mountain area, even then, most use a motorbike.
There is plenty of transportation of all types.
Highway buses are available every ten min. or so.
You can flag them down from anywhere on the highway.
They are aircon, some with on-board movies and now even many with WIFI.
Local transport is by “C-Cad”. That is like a pedicab for two or three.
In larger towns they use motorcycle powered cabs, holding as many as six.
Only big cities have taxis.
Still, one needs the right attitude for third world living.
It is not for everyone.
One word: Amish
HYBRID seeds?
You won't be able to buy or sell without the number.
Find a place that BARTERS...
If America collapses, other countries will have problems of their own and won’t allow millions of new refugees. So, I’ll just try to find somewhere really remote... perhaps Alaska or someplace.
In November 1991, the Ormoc region was inundated by Tropical Storm Uring. Flash floods and landslides killed more than 6,000 people, mostly within the city proper itself.

I have a few individuals I’d like to thank. It’s only fair to return the favor.
