I live in a county that has 1,000,000 people in it, and if a mushroom cloud goes off, I am going to hit the deck, in more ways than one. I figure that I will have to kill my way out of that sit-rep, because there is no way that I can get out. There is madness here on a normal day; and I think there is a spirit of murder too, Tampa-St Pete-Clearwater is a strange place to live in.
There is something wrong with these people, so like I said, I will probably have to kill some of them. Who wants to do that? But some of the local citizens would be happy to kill me, in a survival situation. So, I weighed things out, and that is what I came up with. In closing, some of the folks on prepper/survival forums, are deceived by their own mushy thinking, and they won't survive a mushroom cloud event.
My life circumstances over many years have been very, very serious, and they made me serious. I can be downright frightening in ways, and that is good, because I mean what I say. Many of today's generations don't comprehend that there are men like me, but there are. Thanks for the thread.

There it is.
Even up here, the game might go quick & back even deeper. We're thinking maybe the critters below will flee in this direction initially and we can harvest as much as possible...but even that's just a wild ass guess. Either way, one of the skills I'm working on this spring for fun is the best way to process/preserve meat - without freezer/canning/etc. Smoke/fire-dry is my first thought...still reading/researching.

Thanks for sharing that, Mr Mills. I'm not going to dishonor you (or anyone else here) by asking why the hell you dont get out?; you have obviously made some hard choices and I respect you for that. May God and luck be always on your side. Warmest regards and stay safe, sir.

The problem with most peoples view on a shtf scenario is that it's colored by TV, Movies and online paranoia. It assumes everyone will be at their worst and all for themselves. I don't think that is the historic reality of humanity in major crises. With exceptions, but exceptions don't make the rule.

Delusional Preppers you say? Ever heard some of these guys talk about how often they get laid?
Talk about delusional, huh?

I hope your right, but I'm wondering... Did the historic reality of humanity include several generations (1980's to now) of people with a strongly developed sense of instant desire fulfillment and entitlement? There are still lots of people who have a strong work-ethic; hopefully there's enough of them and they're not to old... but even they will put self/family first; as they should, imo.
There's still the matter of logistics/resources. Local help may be provided, for a time, while there's something there to help with. Outside help might be long in coming, if it does.
