"This is assuming a great deal. Being heavily armed and in the area is worthy of attention but on a discreet basis. Plan on issues but don't act on them till evidence is present.

Don't treat them like something until you have proof of it or else you may MAKE them enemies if they weren't already.

Because at that first moment they could be a traveling group of clowns for all the info you have.

This is warranting another scenario."

"So your gonna contaminate your pigs (meat) with meat or bodies.
Why not just bury them, it,s not like your hiding evidence from the police/CSI.
"

"Why "thank goodness" no females?"

"I know right?

Who would wash the dishes, make me a grilled cheese sammich and bring me a beer? Oh and who would you play "hide the rattlesnake" with?"

"Sharpie aka Pinky"

"Pigs don't eat everything and then you have to dispose of what is left anyway. There is other places as woods or in a livestock pen to cover the graves.
Plus I won't be letting anyone just roam my BOL/ colony especially a hostile force.

I was just saying meat isn't good for your pigs and bloody raw meat can turn them viscous.
Plus only real hungry pigs will devour a corpse let alone 10. Pigs that hungry aren't being taken care of and are dangerous. 10 bodies at 180lbs each would require 2-3 hungry 300lb hogs each to eat in a day. Minimum. So you gonna have 20-30 hogs and more than a day to dispose of the corpses.
Just seems quicker and easier to find another method to me.


Not trying to be contrary. Just a observation.

"You want to play hide the rattlesnake with Sharpie? I don't know if he'd like that. "

"For one you're not gonna bury then six feet under. A shallow grave is all that's needed.
Not all livestock pens are packed solid or have to have animals in them at all times. A sheep pen for nigjt or emergency use won't put excessive weight on the graves in the limited time needed.

As for a return party (second group). If you're only five miles away and your party doesn't return the same day what would you do.
I would send another party ASAP that day to check where they are. If they don't find the first group they are to return ASAP. Then I will be coming in force at first light at the latest. To expect anything less is tempting fate.

Now I don't care if how you dispose of the corpses. But now that your hogs have the taste for blood what now. Some will try and attack anyone trying to feed or clean their pens. And you could of contaminated their meat too.
Is it really worth it? Your choice."

"Never fight unless you absolutely HAVE to.

I would consent to what he says, but here's what I'd do:

I'd hide my women and say I only have children (Hopefully they're not into kids) but that I'd be happy to give them to him as soon as they get their blood.

I'd sneak away the women, children, and elderly in small groups so as not to leave a wide swath of trail to follow. Obviously, I'd send a group of men ahead to prepare the new location for temporary shelter.

After that, I'd send away the men, again in small groups, while maintaining the outward semblance of a bustling, full community. Finally, still giving the other group what they need, I would slip away myself with the remaining men and head for the new location. When I reach there, we'd stay there while sending out small probes to find a new location about a week or so away. If a new location can be found, we'd all go there.

Of course, no plan is perfect, so feel free to pick apart mine in any way you feel in either necessary or constructive."
