A very good friend, guy I worked with for nearly 20 years, is a survivalist. He has freeze dried food, tons of ammo, carries not one, but two semi auto pistols + spare magazines. He has body armor ! So anyway, I always thought he was nuts. Anarchy here ? Now ? Impossible ....... only now I'm not so sure.

I have weapons, ammo, if the omelet hits the fan. I have some provisions, a lot of water, and a small one burner butane stove for our seasonal storms, in case the power goes out. I don't have a bug out bag.

It is like where are you going to go ? I'd rather hold up here with my AR and 1k rounds. Eat tuna & soup until the national guard gets things under control. OTOH, I always think of what Robert Kennedy told his kids during the Cuban missile crisis. The kids asked if a nuclear war was possible.

RFK said it was. Why, they asked aren't we going into a fallout shelter ? Because, he told them, if there is a nuclear war, you wouldn't want to live in what is left when it is over.
