an important thing to bear in mind is theres not a single person in the world you cant learn from!
young, old, prepper, non prepper, it doesnt matter, we can all learn from eachother, ive learnt alot from young and old members of this site, and i view all of them in the same light, i dont always agree, but i will take it on board
personally i think its probably quite likely that in the few months after the, as prepaday put it, brown mess hits the fan (or BMHTF if you will xD) the countryside will become riddled with people, populations will diffuse, although many will be stubborn and keep on in the cities and towns, the countryside wont be as safe as it is, which is why im looking at either buying a bunker, or buying land and building my own

many may think its unrealistic, but as long as a "hideout" is hidden you should be ok!
oh and thanks for the links ned!
