I am well aware of that.
I rendered my opinion.

I thought Idaho was already survivalist central.

The first year would be rough, Fully 90% of the population dead in 3 months.
I am thinking the fishing is only going to get better!:mrgreen:
I am reading a book by James Wesley Rawles, Patriot. It is about the collapse of society and a group of survivalist fighting off roving gangs of looters. The picture he paints is very dark with prisons emptied out and no rule of law. The survivalist stay locked in a steel shuttered house filled with food and water and watch the world around them collapse in riots, rape robbery and murder. I just started the book and it may have a happy ending but it makes me wonder if things got that bad would I even want to survive. So I ask the question of you guys, survive or die, which is preferable?
By the way James has an interesting survival blog. SurvivalBlog.com
I've already answered this post, but I had another thought. I don't have enough ammunition. Or enough guns.
It's not beyond the realm of possibility that power grids could be taken out by terrorists that would put us in the dark for 4-5 months. That's reality. If that ever happened, we would quickly revert to survival of the fittest. Bullets would count.
when you are locked in a room ?
wait...I'm confused. Are we talking about living in a lawless nation or are we talking about living at Tigger's house?
being locked in a room and not being able to do anything to protect the others seems horrible to me....
"Patriot" is the name of the book. I've got a copy at home myself, and it's been an interesting read so far. There are at least two more books in the series.
Personally, I'd survive. Then again, that sort of society wouldn't bother me as much as it probably would many of you; since it's a lot closer to my utopia than what we live in today.
Plus, if the fit hits the shan, you'll be able to travel into NYC and drink any size soft drink you want. :2dancing:
I think the idea of some kind of post apocalyptic anarchy is central to modern dude fantasy. How would we, as individuals, fare without the protection of modern society? I don't want to find out, but if it came to it, I'd want to survive and learn whether I am a leader, follower, murderer, or protector. In any case, i would want a lot of bullets and whiskey.
You can trade bullets for anything, one way or another.

Survive. There is nothing preferable about dying unless one is in intractable uncontrollable pain.

Ammunition: the new currency, owning a reloader would be like owning a printing press.
The premise of the book follows a number of characters who have banded together to form a common defense and support system based out of the home of one of the members, in Idaho. Most of the individuals make their way from the Chicago area to the home, where they have stores and provisions they have stockpiled, waiting for them. They have an organizational system, including a heirarchy and job schedule amongst the group.
