family has 2 pieces of Land. 900 acres and 400 acres. We have 3 ponds one one plot. Uts 20 acres with Bass galore. The other 2 have catfish. I would think we could make it off those for months. Use barn for cooking and water filtration. Has some deer and other animals
Luckily has a creek running through it. Problem would be health conditions.

You’d have to kill every mother fricker you came across before they kill and eat you, at least for a few weeks.

the ones left after that, those are the ones you will have to deal with, as long as you live. They will be bad arse in their own way. So will you.

PBS had a reality show years back where people tried to prepare for winter as if in the colonial era. Experts assessed their readiness. Most of them cut hella firewood but still were deemed to not have nearly enough to survive winter. And their attempts to grow and store crops were abysmal.
It’s freaking hard to make it out there like the Ingalls family. One twisted ankle, snakebite , appendicitis, etc. on a key provider can doom a whole family to starvation or freezing to death.
An Indian/neighbor stealing your ax/plow/mule/hog can be fatal to a family.

In order to do that, you gotta have a lot of salt per game you have

I need to find my post on the OP, but I asked if anyone knew how many chickens and pigs you’d need for a family of 4 to survive? I have no idea? I’m assuming chickens through the winter would be tough especially with snow?
You would need a hell of a lot of salt, a good prepper should probably have a 50 gallon drum. One of the most important factors would be salt curing and smoking meat as said but you need a ton of salt.

I have a 90 acre very rural property with a 14 acre lake. Huge hay barn that I could easily turn into a living quarters. Plenty of deer, rabbits, hogs etc. I could feed my family.
The trick to staying alive in a SHTF, social breakdown is having enough people together to defend what you have.
I read some stories of accounts on the siege of Sarajevo in the Bosnian War. It lasted 4 years and was the longest siege in modern warefare. Things got so bad that most of the dogs in the city were eaten.
The people that survived had numbers on groups trying to steal rape and pillage. They had 15 people living in a house designed for 4. They would divide up into teams. They had a food and cooking team, security team, maintenance team, one generic team that took care of everything else. Every person in the house knew how to shoot a gun.

I have been thru a couple of hurricanes and I can say the only thing I really missed was AC. It gets Hot and muggy in Louisiana and I’ve gotten used to the nice cool AC but when I was younger I remember not running the AC that much.
Otherwise I could survive pretty easily
There was a tv show back in the mid 2010’s alley revolution that was like this there was a worldwide EMP burst that shutdown all electronic devices etc…..

I dont think many people have what it takes.
You'd have to survive the first month or so of total cluster frick. Odds are not in anybodys favor but obviously, the more rural the better. Bad luck is going to get a lot of people.
After that, you'd have to deal with the continued cluster frick, along with trying to survive long term. Diarrhea becomes life threatening instead of inconvenient. Keeping kids alive becomes very difficult. Women dying in childbirth is a normal part of life again. The list goes on and on, ignoring the simple tasks like feeding and watering everyone.
Not many people would make it for very long. The only hope is reactivating civilation in short order.

My thoughts as well. I've seen a lot of posters (like the one above) mention how they survived a hurricane. Just my opinion, but there's a big difference between knowing help is eventually coming and having to hold on a few days/weeks vs being completely on your own for the foreseeable future.
