text: Here’s the idea. If you live in an urban area and shit goes south, you have to leave that urban area early in the event. Look at Ukraine. The large cities are targeted early because they are target rich environments. It’s obvious more safe out in the country. Now if you live in the country and have neighbors that live within eyesight and you’re prepped but they are not, where do you think your neighbors will go when they are hungry? That’s right, they are coming to see you because people will do drastic shit to make sure their kids have something to eat. If you live on 200 acres and don’t have a neighbor in sight, you’re obviously more protected. Now if you live on 200 acres without any neighbors in sight and you’re surrounded with people working towards this same common goal you now have the ability to thrive. You might be great at gardening but horrible at mechanical work. You might be a medical doctor but not very good at security. You might have a great food storage but only a few hundred rounds of ammunition. All of those problems are solved if your community has carpenters, blacksmiths, doctors, gardeners etc.
