I left the Tampa area 8 years ago, Largo, first 40 years of my life there.
Without going too deep here-
Word says when you see the 'abomination of desolation' flee to the mountains. Most believe this to be an event, to those in Jerusalem it is, but it is more of a process. The phrase means exactly what it states, when God is removed from the land the land is left Desolate, and it is.
I back up to 10s of thousands of national forest, springs and caves.
You are correct about food sources long term. You will have less than three days supply......then it is a matter of time. You have no way out.
Lawlessness? absolutely.
Christians believe they will be 'raptured' out, they will not. Word states that those who 'endure to the end' will receive salvation. (reference the end of life or the end of days- tribulation)
I intend to survive.
See and understand "Jacob's Trouble" and understand who Jacob is........it is us, the West.
I have two daughters and one remains in Largo. I've had numerous discussions with her and told her that when I make the call- she will have less than 12 hours to get to me, otherwise I cannot help her. She thinks I'm a nut, as would any other 30 year old.
Tough times ahead, could be tomorrow, could be 20 years from now.
Be it the gov or marauders or the nice christian family down the road.......they'll come to kill you for what you have, just a matter of how long you can hold up.
I have a wife and a 10 year old son, we will fight to survive one day at a time.
Edit:
We will all have about 2 weeks before wholesale panic sets in. It will also take the gov about that long to move troops and set up corridors. We have plenty of food to get us through the initial stages and time to think and plan and execute.
Mental preparedness is key.
