Just remember, get your mind right. There are millions of refugees world wide, some with kids. You're at least as good as they are. Plus you're an Okie.
For me the approach to a SHFT situation is kinda like having kids.
1. You are never really ready for it.
2. It won't always go the way you want it to.
3. The outcome of those situations will depend on how well you re-act or can roll with the punches.
Part of me knows that as long as I have eyecyou that I won't have to worry about unsavory types as much, but then the other half of me wonders how long it would be before I wanted to kill him myself.
Sometimes, I think survival isn't always about who is the fittest or most prepared, sometimes it comes down to being flat out lucky. Of course being prepared (as best you can be) doesn't hurt.
