What would force you to leave your home..

[mrblond]

Pandemic. If it gets to the point where those living close by become a chance for me to catch the virus, i am leaving and getting as far away as I can.

Gawd!!! I give up! I'm not coming after anybody! "city tough guys", I know hundreds of city guys that are steel workers (steels heavy folks, I know I moved hundreds of tons of it in my day and I didn't notice it sissifing me) as just one example! I worked my grandpas and uncle's farms in my younger days. Big deal!

All! ALL!!! I'm trying to say is that people in city's are coming out as soon as the city's are untenable! Not all of them are sissys! Some of them have been preparing and training to take your stuff since survivalism, as a real, named, way of life has existed! They are called Freebooters! I am not one of them! Many of them are Special Forces types! But, you guys go ahead and don't worry about those silly little city girls in the city! They'll probably just poo themselves and die from dehydration before they make it to the suburbs and anyway your such baddazzes cause you were vets and farm every day, so no problem! LOL!!! Done!

PS: I was just trying to warn some yahoos that it isn't like they think in here!

You are correct.
Some good some bad, but you better shoot straighter and faster than the bad.
It will never be a picnic so disappear, carry what you need and move out and shelter up and watch your 360.
Find like minded if you can, be selective and wary.
This isn't the 1700's

Read that like 20 years ago it seems. Have to get it again. Can't remember much except it was a terrific book.

It's science fiction.

Great read! Spellbinding!

Duh. So is most of the SHTF talk on these interwebs. However, what I took from the read was whomever has the ammo wins.

 

[Brutus57]

People 20 years ago would have thought a black socialist president was sci fi as well.

I don't base any plans on fiction. Duh.

One well placed bullet cannot be beaten by 100 poorly aimed bullets.

Never think that because you have 100k ammo you can win the fight. All the guns and gear won't mean crap against someone with the patience and skill to kill you with one shot a half a mile away.

You seem reasonable intelligent, so it's odd that you always have to be such a condescending do-ucher.

Actually that is not even close to the point about the book in question. It is more a matter of what was thought to be the most valuable commodity in which to barter, or what was considered something of value "brought to the table" when being granted access into a safe community. It was also something that gave a person an advantage while traversing thru the dangerous ground to the safe areas.

Crazy talk sir. I base all my planning off of fiction. Got to be ready when the dinosaurs we resurrect turn on us.

You mean like using words like "duh"?
