Yeah. I didn't get Vaclav's point at all. One of the best places to survive is in a small town, particularly if it is in an agricultural area. Small towns stick together.
If you are doing that, then the skillsets required are much lower. In a community you only really need a few people with a given skillset and each person only needs a few.
Yeah its like a mmo with the trinity and interdependence.
Uh you clearly didn't understand me then... I meant that PRESET stuff is going to fall apart outside of families that networking post-disaster would basically have to be fresh. (i.e. in a small ag town - disaster happens with people stranded at their workplace with the roads blocked - neighbors going squirrelly - neighbors getting overrun by aggressive assholes before things get set up, etc)
Yep. The smart prepper wouldn't be building a bunker in the middle of nowhere he'd be buying a house in a small town somewhere, maybe with a little acreage, and joining the local elk club.
That he lives in and stays in, perhaps - but if it's just a house to run to - property rights would be out the window, squatting would be common.
Depends on how well he has integrated into the community and his particular skill set. I would agree, it would be a little tacky for him to expect the community to help him if he had previously done nothing for the community and wasn't a doctor or other needed specialty.
Not much you can do unless you know scientists from a good chemistry department/research hospital except stock up and hope civilization restarts quickly.
