Repeat with NatGas and water, and SoCal will have the correct population pretty soon (~50,000 souls). <br /><br />Maintenance is really important! Repairs even more so. MXS workers who are not under military orders will not go to a hostile fire zone to make repairs.

Bush fires dont go out, unless there is like months of wet weather, even then they have been known to flare up latter. They need to be put out. If no one is putting out fires they will smolder away on still days or wet days and flare up on hot windy days.

Not nearly the amount of fear that I have for government entities. <br />If it is a slow collapse , the powers that be will have authority to go house to house. Confiscating preps , munitions etc. Giving even more credence to getting far off grid before this happens.<br />Perhaps caches buried are the only way around that eventuality.<br />Something like the POD to hide in for appearances. Then supplies stashed with hiking range , spread out in a week radius. Each with no more han a single months provisions ? Then if the Feds or locals stumble upon one of them, they don't get more than the single months stuff.<br />One needs have a believable stash at the POD kept available for satisfying whomever is stealing from you. We'll call this the sacrificial goods.Spudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00689059709873763146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-76888915750456353692017-07-31T14:45:15.890-07:002017-07-31T14:45:15.890-07:00Don't forget the cities will burn.

Everyday there are fires in cities that could destroy them if they were not caught in time. Shut the water systems down and take fuel away from the fire trucks.
