"First off @SovietPrince. You have a strong survivalist mindset and have your mind wrapped around the reality of things. Expect a compliment from me soon.

Your words were well thought out and inspiring and with my own strong sense of community and belief in bugging in I am pleased to see someone else with the same outlook. You're a good writer and have a way with words man.

Its an easy choice for me to bug in because of my location. For people in town it would be harder but not impossible. Together we stand, divided we fall. Good thinking SP."

"You're absolutly correct. You have more chance trying to hold down the city then bugging out. (Unless you're in a city full of morons O.O) Setting out on foot is pretty much find a place to stay and protect or wander around untill you go insane. Your choice. Nicely put Soviet. BTW, you into communisim or Czar (royal family)? Cause your name kinda doesn't work."

"Might be worth it...in a few select cases.

I wouldn't gamble on my neighbor's helping me to put a shotgun in my mouth and pull the trigger. Let alone anything that is actually useful.

Nope in any crisis my town becomes Craterland and I'm gone. My ONLY regret will be the loss of the kittens and puppies.

You do know you're a ray of web sunshine don't you? "

"Certainly a common problem in some areas is neighbors not really knowing a thing about each other, sometimes by situation, often by attitude. Something to work on even if you don't expect a zed poc."

"Or a Snowmageddon. :)
We had massive snowfall last year, and so me and my dad hooked up the quad's plow, grabbed some snow shovels, and drove looking for people to plow out. Some neighbors literally pretended we weren't there, to avoid us, but two others stuck in my mind.

The first was an elderly man, with his wife, who was a war vet. Very nice guy, thanked up for our help, and was shoveling right along with us. Sadly, he has moved away since then, replaced by a rich family with some nasty little dogs. (The bastards attacked our chickens.)
The other was another old man, who has up to his waist in snow. Same situation with him. We sat for a while and listened as he talked about his life story. It was actually a really good experience.

Its truly a shame, because we had only met that other type of neighbor around before that.

In that kind of sense, community disasters are a blessing. :)"
