I think that there are a lot of people here that think they are going to hold up in their current houses in the cities. Lets take a long look at this sceneario shall we.
Food, sure of course you can figure out creative ways to store a large amount of food
Water, now, this is one of the major problems you will have. Where are you going to get good clean water on a continuous basis ? The cities would very likely not be pumping water to your ready to drink faucet any longer.
Even if you can store 1,000 gallons, how long would that really last you and yours ? Not long even on a good day. I have a 1500 gal water tank that I fill up every few weeks and that is with out doing any laundry. Better give this a lot of thought.
Sanitation. When your toilets no long flush as the water is not coming from the city any longer, what are you going to do ? Throw it out the window like back in the days in Europe ? They got the plague remember. Not to mention the stench that will come up right away. How many different holes can you dig in your back yard to bury all that bad stuff ? And is this the same yard where you may be trying to grow vegies ? Think about it a lot more.
Now, if you have worked out all those immediate problems, that leaves you with the grab and go bunch. Keep in mind, that there will be hundreds if not thousands of people that have never worked a day in their lives and they will go ballistic when their food stamps run out or don't work. All they know is how to take. You would be the takee
Wouldn't it be far more prudant to start working a plan now to get out of dodge fast and even faster ? I am an old man, and I don't believe that very many normal people , even though fairly well prepped would last very long under those circumstances. Do you ?
