what's off the grid really going to do for you? It'll make current existence more of a challenge is all. You think if shtf you're good? Unless you have a private army, you'll be done, along with your family. A giant gang will roll up and move in.
Hey hackopt,... you have a very interesting point of view on this topic, but, I have to disagree with you just a little.
First,... I can't imagine any more of a challenge than trying to survive in a city with no electricity, no food source, no running water and therefore no working sewage system. All of that is a guaranteed formula for a really shitty experience, imo!
And,... I feel it will be the CITIES that are full of the "GIANT GANGS"
,... not the country side/remote areas! Street gangs would have to have some relevant training to come into my area, thinking they could just roll up and move in.
This is just my point of view, definitely from a different perspective than yours,... but, I guess that's what makes the world go-round!
Perhaps that sounded more abrasive than I meant. I'm just saying, aside from Alaska and the way outs, folks tend to have a way of hearding together, and often times the bad elements and seeming to get to where they aren't wanted. Az has a ton of way out of the way spots, as do many states but it's all imo, just a matter of time.
Agreed that the city would be a way worse place to be. I still see the wandering, fumbling into spots not expected...and then expecting things, b/c they are alive and feel entitled to them. Lots feel entitled. You have it and therefore, they should get some of it etc. That's full BS. If you are prepared you own no one anything. Charity is what it is, but not required.
So yes, off the grid, substantially, improves your odds a non betting man would go in on, but in reality, how many have the means, drive or option to be off the grid.
Thanks for the constructive convo. Hopefully this new board is more resolved than the previous.
