Your bug out plan is to go to the country.

Latest numbers on farms in US. If you live in Northeastern US, you had best bring your own shovel and shroud, the country people will not be able to supply them, Here in NH, just north of the Boston complex, we have 3,900 farms and of those I know of, most don't really make a good living out of them. My town, 6,000 people has 1 working farm with greenhouses growing flowers and 500 chickens. They buy their chicken feed, not grow it. No large supermarket and no food processing. We are about 40 miles from Boston and in its commute area. In one week, without the refugees heading for the food available in the country myth, we would be out of food as few have over a weeks worth in their homes.

In my community and with its large number of "enlightened" transplants from Boston, I would expect a "town meeting" on about the 2nd day on dividing up the community resources. That means you get to share my food, firewood, fuel, etc, that I have put away. I can share your empty pantry , 4,000 sq foot house that can not be heated, Tesla with no electricity and liberal gimme attitude.

Think in my area the best thing to hand out to refugees would be the Bible as for many of them that would be their only hope of being saved.

 

Life and its fears of world wide events can get pretty meaningless after a quite talk with your Doctor. It will change your whole world view. While you may worry about family and friends, it is a secondary thing. Live every day as well as you can as we don't know how many more we have. A few months ago I had pneumonia and passed out on the kitchen floor. Figured that was it and was surprised to come too a couple days later. The Lord had a reason even if I didn't know what it was. Wife got to say good bye to me before she died. Plan for the future, live today to the fullest even if it is only in your mind.

 

For the past forty years, during times of war, pandemic or bad weather I've always seen people fleeing this area rather than making it a destination. Even though it's home, any time I've spent more than a couple days inland I've always felt like the scenery gets more bleak and desolate looking the closer I get to home.

Because we can become an island here, we've become very adaptable, and are enjoying life to the fullest.

 

I gave up on the fantasy of living off the land years ago due to the volume of folk that have that same illusion.
After reading the
Agenda 21 and 30 I come to the conclusion that no matter where we go the government will insure no one lives out side a city where they can control things.
With satellites drones and modern tech, there is no way one can hide from the government.
I live just out side of town and expect that in a few years we will be driven out of there either by fire or legal force.

 

It is amazing how fast your mental and physical strength drops when you are cold and can't get enough calories. You severely feel it in even a day. Now, add to the cold the fact that you got to walk and/or run everywhere...and in your weaken state, sicknesses are much more serious. A simple cold could be a death sentence.

There is a real reason the world's population was so low for thousands of years until man learned how to grow more food than we consume so that some could be stored for hard times...and the reliable and safe storage of these foods is another reason for the slow rise in population growth.

My point is in a real crisis it is very unlikely that many will be left alive after the first winter for starvation and disease would become a common and real threat again in our history.

 

AHHH.... PROMISE made no water... next will be fire IIRC

 

Here in Maine, I know many people who are living off-grid and farming. It is not a wealthy lifestyle, but folks thrive doing it.

Maybe it is more difficult down South near Boston.
