All Good Point. But what if you “KNOW”-or Suspect-there will be a Big Problem before it actually HAPPENS?? Sheltering in place during Hurricane Katrina-or even Sandy-was Not a very good option. Same if you live near Mount Saint Helens. As for the less obvious-TEOWAWKI scenarios, if an ISIS nuke hits-say-the NY Financial Center-it’s a 9/11 on Steroids, and you just KNOW the markets will tank (when they reopen in a new place) and the US Greenback will be worth Zimbabwean Currency in short order.

THEN-if you can take the back roads-or perhaps, NO road-if you have an ATV-to a secret shelter you have already built-you might be OK.

You know, I’m actually politically pretty Liberal. I’m also a 55 year old Bachelor (cynical about permanent squeezes-lol) and an Internal Medicine Physician. But I find the topic of WTSHTF and TEOTWAWKI fascinating. I read “Break in Case of Emergency” which I know is sort of a Junk survival book. I agree that nukes or bioweapons, or just multiple attacks on planes by Al Qaeda and ISIS will not necessarily kill millions outright, but FUBAR up the Economy to such a degree that folks will get Desperate and Animalistic, sort of a Katrina on Steroids Countrywide. The Question is whether to build a Cabin near a major river tributary, and use a bass boat and pickup to bring in supplies, or get a pickup with a camper cap and park it camoflaged in woods somewhere. Baked beans, spam, and canned fruits and veggies to keep me going for a few Decades. OTOH, I could try to sneak into Canada and live off the land near Great Slave Lake.

We have an affordable, very safe, and resourceful location on what is called a Family Island. It is a fairly remote location with only a few other neighbors that share miles of beach and rolling hills. The property has spectacular views of ocean and the beach is just steps away.

The Island consists of mostly fisherman and farmers: Locally grown food (with a 12 month growing season), wild game, and world-class fishing are the way of life. We have all modern amenities with out all of the modern problems.

The property is ready to build with roads and utilities, also perfect for off-the-grid. We can help you with building approvals and other needs to help your transition to the Island and getting your new home built.

We are willing to work something out for you to secure this property (if it is what you’re looking for) while in transition. We also provide two weeks free at our Vacation Rental Beach House for property buyers.

If you would like to know more about this property and what we can do for you then please contact us.

I agree… strength in numbers. I think people have to be careful not to avoid diversity. The synergy of a mixed group of people with varied interests, strengths, and knowledge can only increase a group’s chances of survival. But personally, from your comments, regardless of the strength of contribution, I’d want to be nowhere near you or your group. I like to think me and mine are more likely to survive if we avoid gang warfare.

I had a brief talk with a retired ATF agent – who claimed to “be in the know” with a variety of federal agencies. He sounded legit and not boastful. He mentioned that he was looking for land locally and I mentioned a pretty part of the county, gently rolling, not many neighbors, and he said it was too close to the coast. I was surprised as we are 5 miles from a bay, near the coast, and 100 feet up. He said that was not enough… now I’m worried!

Rather, it is better to already be bugged out when the SHTF. This means being fairly self-reliant, and living in a community of like-minded people who know you and whom you can band together with to defend your community and sustain yourselves.
