Part of me realky wants an emp ro go off just to see everyones faces when there 50"plasma tvs goes off.

Living in a city/built up area you have to take other things into account. Dogs could be a big danger to you, give away your position, alert people that your there, attack you or give you fleas ect. I have a mental note of most of the dogs that live near me, dont want to be bitten.

also make a note of people, people that could help you or harm you. There could be a trouble family nearby, safley say there going to be 100%worse when theres no law. Also drug addicts/hangouts you dont want to be searching a house for supplies in the dark open a draw and get a dirty needle in your finger, you might not get hep/hiv but its going to get you down.

Dogs could be a problem here too, lots of people with them and a few VERY large dogs in the starter homes near the river, Akita's and GSD and the like, a few staffies and the rest are terriers, i think i'm more concerned about the cats cos none of em are neutered and they keep having litters. People dont worry me too much, if the thing goes t#ts up i think most of them will go home to mummy!

Let the cats breed they're just more food

thats true and hopefully they'll keep the rats down, i expect most of the cats to go feral.

AND the dogs, most off them are fecking useless mutts no good for anything but a barbeque

[bigpaul]

most of the terriers would be useful, for rabbitting and biting raiders ankles most of the larger dogs are too inbred and would need too much food and take up too much room.

If cats go feral they could be a nuisance, if dogs go feral and form packs I would be much more worried.

I like to chat to the neighbours locally and most are ok with one exception.
Certainly a local recon has brought up some interesting results
Who has a garden allotment and has fruit trees (apple and pear)
Also recently found out that one is a gun owner and hunts (weapons available or a threat)
It’s also worth knowing what the local’s skills are

I seem to live in a boring area, quite a lot of old folks in my vicinity. Have discovered another escape route though, only usable at night though.
