It’s funny how the younger generations don’t know how to read a map, and in some cases don’t even know what a map is. A gazette is even more baffling to them.

They don’t understand the directions, north, south, east, or west. How to determine the direction by your using your own body.

They don’t understand the term landmarks, for traveling around. I’m not talking buildings, or manmade objects. I’m talking natural landmarks that have been there for generations and will be there for generations to come. Even flat laying areas have landmarks if you know what to look for.

But then, lots of folks don’t even know how to prepare their own foodstuffs for storage either. They don’t know what a root cellar is, or a smoke house, or an ice house. Most have never heard of an artesian well.

What are they going to do when they can’t get online? They won’t be able to do anything on their own in the big city, other than hide and pillage. Those people are going to be in serious trouble.

At least out in the rural areas you can hunt (with a rifle, bow and arrow, snares, slingshots), fish (we have our on pond), grow a garden, have an orchard, raise your own livestock, and keep most of it hidden in plain sight. Even have a grinding mill for corn and wheat so one can make flour. Windmill for access to fresh water when the grid goes down. Plenty of fuel for cooking or heating stoves whether it be wood or cow patties. Plus there are native plants that can be harvested as well. Lots to be said for very rural living!

Bugging out might be a problem, but in my case, I’ll stay where I’m at. There won’t be anywhere to bug out to for me, unless it’s to the mountains 500 miles away and that’s almost an impossibly, but there is a plan in place. All of our family is 500 miles away, except our youngest, they live next door.
