Many "average" people who lose everything will become a very real threat,albeit with a somewhat limited mobility.<BR/><BR/>RWriverwalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575212890278793911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6594902428992225313.post-39555565911749426272008-07-29T22:35:00.000-04:002008-07-29T22:35:00.000-04:00The idea of a 'slow slide' seems most likely to me...The idea of a 'slow slide' seems most likely to me. <BR/><BR/>Which is why I'm so dubious about the idea of 'bugging out'. <BR/><BR/>Where are you bugging out to? Do you have multiple years worth of food and water there? Are you sure that by the time you get there, it won't have been pilfered or looted? <BR/><BR/>You want an example of 'slow slide' in action, right now? Look to most of sub-saharan Africa. <BR/><BR/>And, you might note, that in most places, when a crisis happens, the cities are the safest places. <BR/><BR/>The rural areas in a crisis become bandit country. So unless you've already got a 'commune' of a dozen or more people living in your 'bug-out location' essentially indefinitely (and food and water for all), shelter in place.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06720301478926079264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6594902428992225313.post-78545092202911298252008-07-29T21:57:00.000-04:002008-07-29T21:57:00.000-04:00The town near one of my campsites has a tavern whe...The town near one of my campsites has a tavern where SHTF was being discussed. Several of the patrons were vocal about stocking fuel and ammo for shtf. Because they believed that being able to out gun the other guy entitled them to his stuff and probably his women folk. I smiled as I finished my dinner. The food was excellent but the intel was better. I now hunt at that camp but won't be goin there come SHTF. Local bushwackers are a distinct probability after a collapse.<BR/>My take on all of this is: <BR/>Be early to your bugout.<BR/>Be vigilant at all times.<BR/>Develop reaction plans.<BR/>install perimeter intrusion detection.<BR/>and never keep everything at your bugout location.You may need to leave and come back armed.

They will seek out anything of value to sell or use. Don't think they won't. I am seeing this already at my cabin site. The dirt poor jobless individuals are looking for something of value to sell. For now they overlook food stocks but that will change.<BR/><BR/>This past winter my cabin as well as two additional homes were hit rolled. They used a snowmobile to scout the sites, emptied them stashing the goods by the roads then came along later with a trunk and hauled the loot away.<BR/><BR/>A massive horde will not descend but the small bands will be just as deadly and will wipe out your preps.BigBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11552206865163220761noreply@blogger.com
