Sorry for the black pill… but there’s really no other way to address this issue. we NEED to be prepared for the worst case scenario even though we may not ever get there. And those who have not yet prepared, let’s help them out.
Here’s why one needs to be prepared for the worst…

And I can go ON AND ON AND ON AND ON!!!
I think it’s time we help each other with preparing for potentially the worst. I believe we will jump into a severe depression, so our commodities may actually end up being tradable goods and benefit us.
Please contribute information for our fellow community members who may not understand much about prepping. I will comment below as well.
From all I’ve read of situations like this in the past, unless you are extremely remote do not rely on hunting as a reliable backup. Many many many people think already “oh I can hunt/can figure it out if need be” and use it as an excuse not to prep. The reality is, most animals will get hunted by fools, wasted foolishly and scared/ran off. Even squirrels and coons will be hard to find/trap. Not to mention the less remote wooded areas will be filled with more people (ever been to opening day for hunting season and how ridiculous and dangerous it can be? Think of that on steroids)
Not saying you can’t do it or aren’t GREAT at it - just expressing something that I get made logical sense that I’ve read about happening.
i hear ya we are in a pretty remote area, lots of deer not very many ppl if pressed, many around here can raise enough cows to last through the winter and the attitude to keep their stuff safe. we chose this place... or god chose it for us, idk. :)
Yeah that’s good you are all in it together and remote. I live in a decent sized city 250-300k, and there are “country land” and “farms” on outskirts but they’re still on grid mosty even if they have septics or generators and those are the folks I worry about. It sounds good and we’ll go thinn “I can defend my compound” but if you’re near a city or town and word gets around you can’t do shut about 100s or more marching for you if their only option is starve.
Our plan as we are in city, not quite like high population area, just a neighborhood, but our pla. Is essentially hunker down. We have attic that has a hidden access through a false wall, so we can Anne Frank it if we gotta. Leave some supplies in other hidden areas on the property, leave some decoy supplies in kitchen in case we get raided, and stash everything else in hidden attic.
Hopefully neither of us have to live out these scenarios .. I pray about it anymore after literally almost 2 decades of rarely praying if at all. Hope it is being heard still ;)
Wow -- ty you for sharing. i think we both should delete our conversations about these things soon... prying eyes.
sprawling suburbs pretty profoundly dangerous, imho. keep in mind, they will offer the weak "free" synthetic food if only they comply.
praying for God's will be done.
