    So I received the 3 books. Thought I would read some here and there. No. Been reading since 4pm. I’m halfway through the first book. Sacrificed this day to read I guess. So much to think about. Sigh.

      Thank you. I’ve really enjoyed listening to this today in the garden. Lots to think about.

    Definitely many aspects of survival to be considered. I read all three of the books and was taking notes along the way. There is a 4th book coming out in August. My pen and pad are ready!

    How do we avoid people that will flee the cities in droves like locust looking for food, water energy?

      Sadly with a hard heart and cagey planning I think. And “rock salt”.

        That is one option, I have been thinking about stealth. moving to a bug out location away from the hordes, you can stop perhaps 10 people advancing, but not 100. The need for communities that have shifts doing security makes sense to me. Having cache off site is making more and more sense as well. If all of your resources are in one place then one is none, two is one.

        Makes absolute sense what you’re saying. Unfortunately, a bug out off site is not much an option for me living on an island. There’s only so much wooded area and bugging out may actually get tight. I can only hope that when the city folk start swarming, the swarm right past us to go further out east where the farms are.

        Yea, we’re going to have to burn the bridges.

        Yeah I have friends who already have plans of feeling trees across the road in their area.

      My plan is to live somewhere inconvenient. It should snow in the winter, be an hour away (preferably uphill) from any major interstate, 4-6 hours away from any major city, and away from any strategic resources that a military would fight over (that includes navigable waterways, railroad tracks, oil and ore, large commercial farms, chicken houses etc.)

      My father-in-law lives 45 minutes from the nearest gas station, and I plan to follow his example.

        It is a mixed thoughts I have with this as being far from everyone would mean less people would be thinking about robing you, but on the other hand it would make you an easy target for a group.

    Our home is our home were we live, no one is welcome unless invited.

    A neighbor said he will dig a big hole with his big excavator and dump before filling up the hole.

    You have alligators or other wildlife near by, pigs do a excellent job chickens need time like composting.

    How hungry are the pack a wolves out here, in time hungry enough.

    Make sure they do not want to go to you, not wish to think such stupid idea.

      Guess your neighbor is thinking along the lines of Nate from the American homestead, he called it?! The 3 S’s : shoot, shovel and shut up.

        Well the 2 s yes but the 3 no, so I told him never to talk about it and I no nothing.

        We are not allowed the carry, so it is going to be a hurtful first s.

    New book coming out August 22nd by the same author. Its number 4 in the series. It’s called “Five Years After”. It’ll be interesting to see where that goes.
