I've often heard it said war plans are great until the battle begins, then everything changes. I wonder sometimes if that is what will happen if/when the SHTF? Say you have that perfect bug out location scoped out, and the big day finally arrives, only you find a few hundred other people also had it as their perfect BOL, Now what?
Say your idea is to just to stay put on your own land, only you wake up to find your land has overnight become a tent city? Never going to happen? What if electric across the world shuts down, due to a massive solar flare? Millions of people live in cities. People got to eat, drink, need to have sanitation, shelter, what happens when the cities become unlivable for people? If government, or better yet, law and order completely falls apart, think of all the guns and ammo stockpiled in every gun store and such, who is going to get that? We could very easy have outlaws roaming around taking whatever they want, very very heavy armed outlaws.
I know a lot of us plan on doing a lot of hunting for some of our food, there is plenty of game everywhere, but how about when everyone starts shooting game for food? How long before it isn't quite so easy to pluck a couple squirrels for dinner, or anything else?
Just a few things that I think of from time to time, I hope none of us ever have to find out what will really happen when the SHTF.
