I'm just starting to consider options and possibilities. One of my first thoughts is if it does hit the fan would it be smarter to hunker down and try to survive in relative solitude or for some like-minded folks to form the nucleus of a community for mutual support and protection.
My second thought is where? I live near a large lake with good game nearby but I'm downstream of Atlanta which makes my water source questionable. Would it be better to live in a secluded area, boiling water and cooking over open fires or basically migrate to a small town with the infrastructure to maintain a community and rebuild it as a working community. ie, I am a water plant operator, if I had power, raw water and chemicals I could provide the expertise to runa small plant and supply a decent sized community. With people capable of providing the power and other needs we could re-create anything that the "grid" lost.
I'd really be interested in thoughts along these lines.
