I am 'bugging out'. Lets the hoards of zombies kill each other off.

Hurricane Katrina & its aftermath gave us a little insight into what a major SHTF would look like. Large amounts of peeps in NOLA were on the verge of dieing of thirst and they did not have to sense to even catch a little rain water with a cup or coffee mug.

Even after the second hurricane, many of the peeps were in the hamburger joint looking for food to eat because they knew no other way to survive.

I don't think a true SHTF or TEOTWAWKI will ever happen. I think we could see a 1930s version of the 'Depression' happen though.

The American culture has changed so drastically from then and now. Most people can barely grow a garden, plus we have hoards of people dependant on the taxpayer for basic needs of life.

Rather than any kind of economic collapse or local natural disaster, viral plagues and cosmic EMPs have the potential to do the most damage.

Katrina gave you a glimpse on how quickly things would deteriorate in a city without law enforcement or basic services. Imagine if something happened like an EMP attack, where there was no communication?

I'd want to be as far away as possible from any city.
