You have to make it over that initial "hump" of whatever goes down. If you’re young enough, then you might have a chance. If you have a team of motivated office types, they too have to make it over the initial "hump," then have the means to meet up. Who has their teeth fixed and up to date on health? <br />The long drawn out "Hump." 2. Frogs in the boiling pot cliché. Hardly anyone has the means of energy to move and where to with no money. I believe there have been talk of .gov support during this time. Squatters that used to be owners from next door or down the street, waiting on a .gov "fix" for the problems. (Like so many people are waiting on now!) Varying levels of what personal responsibility ought to look like, and what is put into practice. Meaning, what should have been done and what is being done, and when it gets done. Too late and expensive to move, travel, or try to get hired on as a farm hand. <br />The new fix from .gov and the even slower drawn out “Hump.” 3. “I told you so,” and there is no collapse, reset or new growth industry. Just somehow the jobs stay somewhat the same and some what the same people employed while dissidents, (see FBI Conspiracy Theory Terrorism deally) get a no knock party to relieve them of tax and breathing concerns and said problem child’s left-over supplies go to the highest ranking official. Any questions, and you too can play guess the No-knock Party Date for you!<br />FWIW, long storage; PVC builds. .50cal cans are neat and hold a lot of ammo, but, after not sleeping for three days and maybe a bite to eat and that .30cal can starts to get real handy in terms of carry weight. <br /><br />YMMV, haven’t been through a large collapse, just a few manageable ones from the last couple of decades. <br />~Cheers, <br />torquenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-22637398567328629682019-08-12T13:24:51.017-07:002019-08-12T13:24:51.017-07:00I really like Anon()()'s information about far...I really like Anon()()'s information about farm economics.

But for me, I’d say that a town of 5k, is already too big of a town. For me personally, I’d like the cut off to be at about 1k. But I’m also realistic, and understand that most people need to work and support families, so I don’t hold living in close proximity to larger population centers against them. In a previous comment, I mentioned that it’s so much easier to be a single dude, for this very reason. I’ve always found relationships/kids, to be a huge pain in the ass, so this is easy for me. But I understand that I’m different in a way that most aren’t, and that most men really need/want to have a family. <br /><br />@10:58, glad that some good can come out of my misanthropy :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-30176320421036275992019-08-12T12:21:48.804-07:002019-08-12T12:21:48.804-07:00I'd look into storing in PVC pipe.I'd look into storing in PVC pipe.

Learn lots, new, every time. But don't your arguments kind of prove mine? A one time tapping of a diminishing aquifer underscores my point we have moved from being such a huge food surplus provider. Yes, suburbia killed a lot of farmland. So what? We can't go back to get the land again. Yes, a lot of us are fat. Because we eat more as the body is desperate for nutrition we aren't getting from crops grown in denuded soil. Or, eating all that corn derivative crap ( and corn strips the soil ).
