Where Will The Population Flee?

Sounds like a plan, Mike. Huh, could you forward me your address, so I can put you on my map. I'll want to come by and pick up your stuff after wards.

Shortly I will be selling everything off and using the proceeds for hookers and blow.

I will leave you the quad, it is a death trap so I don't think I am doing you any favors. My way of getting the last laugh once I am dead.

Thanks, but no thanks. Have a friend of mine that actually lives in your neck of the woods, that flipped one. Lucky for him he landed between two large rocks and the quad ended up on the rocks above him. He was up at Windrock at the time.

I don't mess with them. My lucks not that good.

If your selling everything off for hookers and blow, I'd move to another city first. The pictures I've seen of the hookers in this town leave much to be desired.

My worst nightmare is meds,My wife has MS and takes Copaxone injections every night along with other daily meds.
Other than that I have enough food,fuel,fire power,ammo,transportation motorized and non motorized,generators and water to last as long as need be.
If SHTF I would purchase or trade for all the meds I could get,when she started running out hopefully I could find someone that would trade for beef or what ever I had plenty of.If not,sad to say I would be one of those guys we all hate.

I'm not a DR at all... but just knowing the chemical makup of copaxone as primarily a polymer of 4 essential and non essential amino acids, which are readily available seperately as OTC supplements, it would possibly behoove you to consider researching and stocking up on those in lieu of a perscription shortage...

Lysine
Glutamic Acid
Alanine
Tyrosine

Take that for what it's worth... but there are always alternatives. I feel for ya though, and would be right there with ya as far as doing whatever is necessary to ensure the well-being of loved ones.

My mother has MS. I agree with cjr and appreciate the nudge in the right direction molonlabetn. Much obliged.

I guess cjr has a good point. Up until he brought up medication I had never given it a thought. Both myself and my wife take daily medications and would become very ill without them. More brain racking! I wonder about getting prescriptions from Canada? It only makes sense that every pharmacy here will be hit. This is a serious thought. I concievably could be prepared and survive for the long haul but without medication it's all meaningless.

My family has land on a river up in the ozarks. The house backs up to a 100 foot bluff and is only approachable from two sides, both of which can be easily cleared of brush to create a rather efficient kill zone. Game is plentiful, fish are plentiful, the only problem is the soil is rocky so crops would be difficult. There are over 20 springs with clean water withing hiking distance...if the SHTF, that's where I'm going.

I would be more worried about stockpiling trade goods...precious metals, equipment to produce goods, and foodstuffs (mainly seeds and canned goods) would be my first priorities, but ammunition and fuel would be right up there as well.

I see the significant dependance on meds of various kinds as one of the most troubling aspects of a true "fan" scenarios. My wife takes various meds and I don't know how she would do if access just stopped overnight.

I saw on the news that Hwy 64 (Ocoee River area) is closed due to rock slides as is I-40 going though the mountains toward Ashville from Tennessee. Might make the exidus to the Blue Ridge a bit of a problem if it happened right now. Those roads would never get cleared in a long term fan scenario. cleared.
