Look at SHTF as society collapsing is the wrong way to look at this. If society collapses your soul and spiritual survival collapses with it unless you are just happy being a selfish bastard until you depart the earth. The better way to look at this is a collapse of the status quo and a new society built from the rubble. It is our only choice for the sake of our children, grand children and anything that society should stand for.

he is of the harmless variety I usually will let him pass unmolested

how many people have you molested??

I had on clothes ya sickos.. I hit that hard though. (Maybe it Wasn't a satellite)

Since dogs can't really snicker like Snidley Whipplashases dog..Mine looked liked,, in the flicker of the candles "dooode,WTF"?? " What's up with THAT ?" as I got off the floor.

i may not live in the country but my suburban location is on the edge of it and i spend a good majority of my time off in the woods. yes there is plenty of running water here in the northeast. no one ever bothers you for being on their land. I've never had any sort of bug problems around here. for all the times I've spent in the woods I've only seen one rattle snake and a million harmless varieties. there are plenty of deer and places to fish. the only wildlife you need be concerned with are black bear and mountain lions and possibly a rabid raccoon or possum lol. also during the early summer there are at least 7 different varieties of berry en mass to gorge on found very close together and covering a very wide area. in the 15 years i've been frequently hiking and camping in these woods ive yet to come across a single problem so please don't speak as if everything your saying goes for the entirety of the world man. still you do bring up some valid concerns depending on the area your inhabiting

Your really not scaring anyone OP
