Water will be the real issue. When the electrical grid goes down, the taps will go dry. My sister used to be a social worker. Used to be. She said that she has never seen a a more self-entitled and lazier group of people than those on permanent welfare assistance. Some of the people she dealt with were 3rd or 4th generation welfare families, all single mothers. They get HUD housing and party their lives away. They have zero skills. When the water goers out, they will wait for the government to fix it. When that doesn't happen, they will start looting, robbing, and killing. Watch a British show on You Tube about people on benefits (welfare) in England. That will give you an idea of the mentality of these people. They are the walking definition of useless eaters. And they will be breaking down your doors.Guest wrote: ↑Sat Jun 11, 2022 11:18 amSome advice: If you are white or Asian, live with your own kind (if you can afford it). If you are white and live in a black or hispanic neighborhood, you are asking for trouble. If you don't have much money, buy a single wide and an acre of land outside of town. American and Western European cities are all racial tinder boxes now. Abandon the cities. When the SHTF, on time delivery has assured that the food stocks will run out in a single day. I used to be a manager at a supermarket. When the power goes out, the frozen food section spoils much quicker than the public realizes. Also, half the store is filled with things that most people can't really eat: dog food, kitty litter, duct tape, and magazines. There is a lot of Jello mix; I suppose people could eat that. Big box stores have a lot of boxed food that will last a long time, but those places will be hit hard.Ex pat wrote: ↑Sat Jun 11, 2022 8:20 amA chicken coop? Your homestead better be a good four hundred miles away from the nearest urban center. When the POC population losses life support (free stuff) they will rape, loot, and kill on a scale that is only seen since Rwanda. America's cities are dumpster fires now. I lived in the suburbs for the last two decades after fleeing the city. Then the suburbs burned. During the BLM riots, a police officer that I have know for over ten years retired and moved to Canada. He now lives in a backwater town with his Canadian wife and his in laws in a modest A frame house he built on their land. He says he has never been happier. He has a greenhouse. Navigator, if you live near a city, you are in trouble. My ex-policeman friend will be better off than you.Navigator wrote: ↑Thu Jun 09, 2022 12:47 am
I have been taking my own advice and am getting things in order for myself and family. Building chicken coops, gardening, and so on.
I will start to post frequently again soon.
Have focused a lot on keeping up on the developments in Ukraine and watching daily situation reports.
I left America a couple of months ago. That was my bug out plan. Covid held up my escape until recently.
When WW3 begins, America will be The Lord of the Flies. It will be racial violence on steroids. Cool Breeze gets this part right, even though I still disagree with him on most other things. A few other posters here understand the true situation too. If your book doesn't deal with the racial dimension of what is coming, I won't buy it.
I have lived through riots myself. The police used to move in and restore order. Now they don't.
I fully expect machine gun toting gangs to seize these stores when the SHTF and the police in America will do absoultely nothing. You will be on your own.
A mid-sized camper pulled by a mid-sized truck is also good. Buy an acre somewhere really isolated and try to find other like minded people who look like you and have a lot of guns.
Most of the inner city welfare crowd will be dead in a few weeks, maximum. MAXIMUM. Survival will be more of waiting out the chaos. If you can hide out for a few weeks, most of the troublemakers will be dead. No one is going to save them.
And no one is going to save you. Save yourself and your family.
There. Your answer.
You're welcome.
Forget the hills, head for the mountains.
You won't even have to wait several weeks for most of the people on benefits street to die. Most will be dead in a few days.
