[QUOTE="HiPower, post: 1325866, member: 9717"] I'm not recommending either staying put or bugging out, there's merit to both and it's too personal a choice. I'm saying that you need to have a support system in place for either scenario to work. If you're on your own (even with a significant other), there's too few people to share all the work, stand watch, cook, laundry, tend the youngsters, tend the necessary animals, stand watch, bathe, toilet, hunt, stand watch (if you get the idea that you're going to HAVE TO mount a 24 hr guard, and that guard needs to be more than one person, or become a statistic, 365 days a year until order is restored, you're finally getting it) ad nauseum. In amongst all this, you'll also have to farm...or you're gonna starve in fairly short order. All the food in the stores will be gone inside of 2 weeks either from looters or spoilage. Remember, a full on SHTF ultimately means no juice after a very short period, so no refrigeration. My guess is this will take not much longer than a month, 2 at the outside. Hope y'all have extra kerosene, mantles and chimneys for your Alladin lamps! Something like this won't end in a week. If you haven't read a book called "Patriots - Surviving the Coming Collapse" by James Wesley Rawles (ISBN 1-56384-155-X), do yourself a favor. [/QUOTE]
