Lady,
Well said in regards to taking care of yourself and your family. My preference is to not engage, keep low and not draw un-due attention.
Just a chuckle from a different point of view now. Looking at the gear lists of a Bug out bag. Wonders where I would bug out to. We are so country here that we have a hitching rail for the horse and buggies at the county court house.
I do know the terrain pretty well off road in the woods for several miles around. But it is getting built up now-a-days. The best thing we can all do is EDUCATE as many people as we can on the merits of being self-suffient in the face of adversity, floods, snow storms, ice storms.
That in itself breds confidence of being the master of your own fate instead of being a sheeple. Some folks cannot help themselves, they know nothing different. All we can do is to try to educate and lead by example.
A good example. 3 or 4 yrs ago over Christmas we lost power in this region, some areas where without power for up to 3 weeks. We had a severe ice storm. My area was knocked out for 8 HRS short of a full week. Many years ago I hard wired in a 10K Generator in the garage with a 6,500 Watt spare in the barn. I was basically the only one who had power and fuel. LOL We lost power a month ago for a day and a half. Bet I counted 20 homes in the area close by that now have generators like myself.
Lead by example, show the masses that there are better ways. Be a good Noah and his ark. Others will start to pay attention. However, when the balloon does go up, those who have not made alliances and show up in anothers A.O. will most likely be seen as invaders.
Riddle me this....The balloon has gone up, You are with your militia buds, you relocate to another A.O. to escape what is going on in your own A.O. with the best intentions. If you have not made alliances, do you think you will be welcomed with open arms by the occupants of that A.O. or seen as a group that needs to be put down with extreme prejidice?
This country is a shining example of the best there is even with all of our faults! That is why folks want to come here for a better life. We need to protect our Republic because there is no place left to go folks! This is the last haven/refuge.
Food supplies, without them you will become a predator to try and survive! Be self-suffient, make a difference!
