Mmmm Cat. You just reminded me of The Book of Eli. And I agree, we need to work together in order to survive as a whole. I live near the coast in a populated city, so would heading out in sea with a solar desalination device be advisable?

@yogurtlick taking into account the weather and if you can find "safe harbor" upon returning to land ,I personally living near the gulf of mexico awhile back, might attempt it -but you cant do it for long periods...even hydroponic gardens need minerals from the soil replenished from time to time.

As a retired Marine Captain , I recommend you come up with a better plan. If not, you sould pick up that 45. , put five rounds in it, and, well, I think you can guess. i understand that could protect them, but for how long. Eventually that aquifer is going to dry up, your going to run out of cats, deer, ammo, etc. What if the problem is long term, your going to die sometime. Will they know how to protect themselves? Think about it.

@robinholtcody : Sir, military training tells us not to disclose information..not saying I dont have another plan- just trying to get others to THINK ! Everydody dies,not everydody trulv lives. Thank you for your service Sir!! From one veteran to another.

i just built a small chicken coop...if you do it right chickens are a great asset for survival...

[timberwuf78]

@angrynhpatriot : many benafist of chickens...eggs,meat,fletching­,fertalizer, and there not that demanding!!

@sam33256 : from a former NBC NCO for the U.S. Military....if you can see it (the explosion) your screwed. I d rather be at ground zero than watch my family and friends suffer a slow painfull death , but yes I think the location we are at will have a better chance of survival - but you cant plan for everything - sometimes you just have to chance it.

@timberwuf78 What if the wind is blowing the other way or you run away from it on a motorcycle that has a carburetor.

and if u live in the country an r prepared but u have close family that lives in suburbs close to the city u should talk to them about side roads/country roads to get to u because if ur thinking about going to try and get them its a one in abillion chance u find them and make it out all together its best to pray and hope they find u if they no how to get to u and where u r u will have a much better chance of seeing them again

You need to make sure you have some competent friends to help you out during SHTF. My plan is to look for places like yours and take them, provided the target is weak enough. And hey, dont hate, without people like me and my team, there wouldnt be a SHTF, it would just be a power outage.

By far one of the best videos i have seen since Mr. Lock and Load quit making videos. Great job.

[crysta555]

As soon as you tell yourself you "cant" do something then you can't. People live in war zones with infants all over the world and they pick their azz's up and leave and damn the excuses. Focus on getting the job done, accept/adapt/act. I call it the 3 A's. If WROL that means "as we know it" meaning our home lives are over. So accept it, go where danger is NOT an issue, where you won'thave to kill hundreds and your kids won't be shot at by hundreds either. Tiny kids easily learn stealth quickl

[crysta555]

Glad I don't have young kids however, If I did, I'd grab a wheelbarrel, slap my kids and gear in it and take off. I live in a state that is wall to wall trees. Dont need to own the land just find somewhere to hide. If you have a driveway, its a clear neon sign to others, exactly where to find you. You can pick off 100 perhaps but thousands will come. Your luck at home will run out. So I'm outta here on day one and worry about tresspassing later. Pioneers landed here with zero and kids too.

hobbies are not that expensive, unless you have an expensive hobby? LOLOLOL!

[silenthunder85]

@kcrone1 yeah seriously!! ive thought about that several times; i keep my handgun; ammo, sleeping bag, water/MREs; flashlight/batteries; sweatshirt/sweatpants/gloves/c­old weather gear; etc.. in my car at all times. Also, a holster and a small but well-made backpack to carry it all. Nothing would suck worse than being on the side of some road when the SHTF. It's a decent load that will get me to wherever i need to go should it happen. Few people plan for that scenario!

@robinholtcody

 "Aquifer is going to dry up".....omg get real. This man and his family will most likely outlast most non preppers.

[lifebythehorns]

yeah...............dont think your gonna break a polymer pistol by dropping it. would much rather have a XD/Glock than a finicky and heavy 1911 with far less capacity. great vid though, more realistic outlook on the what if thing. these guys that are armed to the teeth are ready for war not survival. sure they may hold off an army but 4 days without water and that tacticool ak with all the bells and whistles wont do much good. Wish i had 150 acres:-)
