Apocalypse Now: Living Off Grid?

Your problem is, you have a job that gives you MORE things to worry about. My take on this when people like you express concerns, is this, IF there is a complete shutdown, where you feel YOU will be in a superior position to weather the catastrophe. What about the REST of the Area you will be in? That means YOUR water supply (maybe 50 gallons) will be gone in less than a week as well as Food and fuel(LP for the refer and heat). ALL other people and stores will be at the mercy of the catastrophe. They will also be CLOSER to all methods of Fuel and Food and Water. That means they will deplete any available supplies BEFORE you can take advantage of re-supply. So, while it is a scary thought, to think planning for it will put you in a better position. I think NOT. You may just weather it for a few weeks longer and then you will be at the mercy as everyone else. Doug

PS, Not a real good way to contemplate life at retirement or ANY way to live your life. Besides, what makes you think the Bad Guys will wait for you to retire:h
