scenario.

[Highlander]

6 days much the same as everyone else, bugged in watching and waiting to see peoples next move,... living off stored food and whats in the garden

6 months, I would expect virtually everyone has moved out but us,..unless there are other preppers in the area that I dont know about,...there is simply nothing to keep people here, they will have moved out looking for food,....I would have more food growing in more places than I have now, and would have stolen everything of value to me from other houses

6 years is a harder one to answer, I really cant see a lot of people returning to this area, if they do, then they will have vital survival skills that will be useful,... it would be nice to have a few of the house around here re-occupied so that we end up with not so much a tight group of people, but a network of people covering a wider area, with some sort of links,.. be it radio or something as simple as smoke
