[the brain kept on thinking...]

Putting together a list of self-sufficient homestead may be a possible means of disinformation. Send the looting mobs to a preselected decoy location.

I'm not familiar with "jackieno chanov" but those kinds of guys, doing seemingly impossible things, will rule the world. I understand that Vladimir Putin can actually do crap like that. Imagine the confidence it gave him when face-to-face with the shrub. The reality of the future, regardless of the fantasies we post here, belongs to the young and capable, period, map or no map, stash or no stash.

While I don't have much yet, but those I will be sharing with will be family. Judging from what I've seen/read here, I'm well behind the curve, but I also know that family has to come first, regardless of what happens (even if I can't stand three of my four sister in laws!).

I don't really get all of the paranoia. My farm is, well, just a farm. Not much different from all of the farms around it. Most of the land gets farmed industrially, just like all of the ones around, by a "real" farmer, and I have a garden, a well, and a few pieces of equipment for my use, and I plan to have animals eventually. But most farmers keep a garden, animals, etc, on their farms, they all hunt and probably have a stash of ammunition to rival mine. A lot of them that I know reload. Anyone that lives in an area that might get bad weather probably has a backup generator and heat sources. I seriously doubt that there is anything about any of your places that would make them a whole lot more of an appealing target than any of your neighbors.

According to Webster's Seventh, paranoia is defined as:

2) "a tendency on the part of individuals or of groups toward excessive or irrational suspiciousness or distrustfulness of others."

There you go. Who's to say who's paranoid? Rather than irrational, I might plead guilty to "excessive rationality". Whether this is "excessive" or not remains to be seen. You are using the measure of the present and past to gauge the future, which requires a significant recalibration.

Hehe, I agree with some of you about not advertising my rat nest, however some of you are so freakin paranoid. I havent seen people so paranoid since I stopped smoking pot in 10th grade Laughing

I dont think people in the smaller US cities will have a problem with rioting.

I'm glad I'm not in a crazy place like LA or New Yourk City, those places will be hell.

Its the ants and the grasshoppers. I save my pennies, go without the cruise ship vacations, big screen TV, and fancy McMansion. I use my resources to prepare for hard times. When the hard times come, is it right for those people who wasted their resources on luxury to demand I share what I have? I get nothing before the crash, I get nothing after the crash if it is all taken. They get the luxuries before the crash and the supplies after the crash by taking it. To me, this is BS. To hell with the grasshoppers, let them eat mudcakes

I agree, I will try to help where I can, especialy in my community. Having said that refugees from suburbia and dead beat relatives who giggled while I prepared had best move on.
