stay or bug out?

[jason303]

I am one of the "in" crowd, mainly because I don't have anywhere to go. Staying home has it's upside clearly, but I think it can't be sustained long term. Something I didn't think of until I watched the after armageddon show which you've probably seen, even after the first waves of scavengers go house to house, in the long run scavengers will still be combing through the huge junk pile of urban areas. When the supplies run out, you'd have to become a part of some kind of agricultural community. There's not space in my backyard for that. Lastly, I think Colorado would be particularly challenging given the climate and soil.

I'd be taking over and clearing out the nearest Walmart. Get a bunch of friends together to barracade ourselves in. Plenty of supplies and a fully stocked workshop to armor up some vehicles for recon if needed. hahah, just kidding, it would be hard to defend but if you had a big enough group you could do it.

Auto shop, garden center, very few windows to lob a firebomb through, you all may be onto something here. I hope you have a BIG group of friends. Everyone goes to Walmart.

And a nice flat roof to shoot from.

walmarts, safeways, food stores , 7/11s, etc would be looted by so many people, but i think youre right anyway. even though foods would be stolen first, many supplies would still be there. but other people would have your idea and claim walmart as home, you would have to evict those muhfuggas!! lol

Dawn of the Dead anyone? But that was with zombies and a shopping mall

Make sure the Wally world is one with plenty of .22 ammo. That and a couple of 10/22 from the rooftop should discourage raiders. I mean other raiders, not the ones you, I mean, we, would be displacing.

Garden center with supplies to start growing your food, sports department with plenty of fun stuff to set traps, clothes, pillows, blankets, pharmacy, chain the shopping carts together for a barricade ...

Why stock pile at my house when Wally world already has it all? hmmm... think I'm going to have to revise my plan...

Good luck with that.

Walmart is the plan for everyone that's not planning ahead so it will be crowded. Good luck. Avoid places that sell big TVs. Thats what people seem to run short of in an emergency situation from what I've seen the news.

It's true, Walmart DOES have just about everything you'd need to sustain life (fairly comfortable life) for a long time, assuming that the building is still structurally sound and secure. Honestly though... you'd have to be inside Walmart when the SHTF, and you'd probably need at least 30 people on your side to clear out, secure, and sustain Wally World as your homestead. Good luck.

It sure would be exciting and it makes good movies, but I don't want to be anywhere near a Walmart when the SHTF.

yea, walmart isnt a place i plan on visiting during disaster, also something else i thought of.... it wouldnt be a bad idea to keep some spare lumber, boards, and nails in the garage just in case. like he said, CRACKHEADS are ZOMBIES.
