Our 'Alamo' is currently occupied by 'family'. Im really not thinking about getting into a sustained firefight with a whole lot of people. I dont see that as a winning scenario. If we need to go full on survivalist mode each pack has several thousand rounds of 22lr ammo, 1 case of 45 ammo and some fishing gear, along with a good assortment of supplies that you would need to basically go cold weather camping and live for a good while in the mountains. A quick stop at the gun case on the way out and there are several Ruger 10/22s and a few MK2s, and for a bit more punch 45 carbines and 45 handguns (I'm a big fan of weapons redundancy).
I stress...I am not all that concerned about a worst case scenario. Big cities...maybe...but I think a lot of them have the potential on their current path to end up like Detroit already without a catastrophic 'push'.
I'm not exactly a prepper but I too bought a Ruger 10/22 and have a few thousand rounds of ammo for it. You can kill anything with a 22 from a mouse to a moose. That kid that died in Alaska that was trying to live off the land killed a moose with his 22. I agree if things went bad the cities would get the worst the quickest and I think the farther out in the sticks you are the better off you would be. Once the people in the cities cannibalized each other there would not be any gasoline to get to far away from large urban areas and most country people already hunt, garden etc so there would be far more cooperation and far less crime.
