without a big die off [quote dads army ] were doomed .

Do the math for your 15 mile circle!

Even with a 90% die off the population density will still be 250 psm. Subsistence agriculture will not support that population.

No die off in the history of GB has been more than 30%. That will leave you more than 1,000 psm. 64 PEOPLE PER ACRE!

Your little patch of wilderness is going to be flooded with "locals" stripping the trees for firewood and eating anything that can not outrun them. You are already having trouble hiding you "stealth camp" from the dog walkers, wait until the woods is flooded with people hunting every plant, animal and grub they can possibly eat.

And that is just your small rural area with no migration from the "population centers".

Do not fall into the trap of believing that starving city dwellers will do the logical and rational thing, stay on the roads and obey the traffic lights as they empty the warehouses, dutifully heading back home to wife and family with their plunder.

Neither will "family ties" keep them close to home. For the worst of the lot the gang is their family and they are not sure which kid from which girl belongs to whom. No connections to even break there.

Even among the members of this group "family connections" do not exist for all practical purposes. We have discussed family shortcomings often enough and I have noticed many here do not even consider a spouse in their planning.

One must also consider all those urban preppers that have planned the place you are sitting as their "bug out location". After all, only a fraction of the people on this very board own/have legal claim to the locations they intend to occupy post-shtf.

It's a jungle out there!
