They'll start eating each other. And flowing out into the farm areas to TRY to steal whatever they can. I can think of about 20k high velocity reasons that they won't succeed.
They do NOT want to be coming out to the country. That will be a bad move as I'll be forced to protect my family and property like you. I'm not looking forward to doing it, but will do the work that needs to be done when my hand is forced.
They think of us all as stupid hillbillies, but don't realize that hillbillies and farmer/cowboy types are the exact kind of people who can make due and still sustain a stable and prosperous livelyhood.
They are going to find out, we are the majority, by a very big margin and they aren't going to like it one bit.
I recently fitted my entire property with motion sensors, coupled with a closed camera system. I have a pretty good idea what's happening on my property at any given time.
Exactly, i have family in tennessee, up in da hills. The world could end tomorrow and they're the only ones left, and they wouldnt even know. No tv or internet, very little connection to the outside world. Life would just continue as it always has.
The hog problem in TN and KY would keep the country folk fed forever.
Where life is going to be flipped on its head is in big cities. Grocery stores would be empty day 1.
I'm looking at some land in WV. I need to stop dragging my feet and just purchase some asap. If shit hits the fan, at least I could just tow my camper out there and big out for a while. Tennessee is a great state to consider also.
If SHTF and you are not already there... it is to late.
Its beautiful all through there. Western parts of Virginia and north carolina as well.
There wont be millions leaving the city though. The conflict will engulf everyone. They'll raid stores and factories for weeks then turn on each other.
Small groups might try to venture out but most will be too sick and malnourished to do much of anything. Try not eating for a week and see how far out in the country you want to venture.
If it happens during the winter then forget about it, they're all toast in week. Anyone that leaves the city will be found thawing in the spring.
Becoming overwhelmed is a very real possibility. At that point you have to take your chances and do what you have to do. I would think that once the reality sets in for them as to what's happened, they will probably flee.
They will be just as well armed but with overwhelming numbers. Enclosed communities where everyone protects it is going to be your only hope. You will only be able to kill so many before you are over run.
