Why are you annoyed with Pareto?.... he died long ago :-) I was using the term correctly of all the 100% of capable campers, only 20% can be a assumed to have the get-up-and-go needed to break inertia. The value I was calculating was even less (10%)

I love Pareto! The guy was a legend. I used to do about 20% of my homework and used his principle that doing 20% of my homework showed I was capable of achieving a minimum of 80% of the desired result. My mathematics teacher thought I was being cocky and when I got an A...who was laughing then hu? Sorry.....kind of went off on one.

If you are using Pareto as the concept that 20% of campers have 80% of the intelligence...I'd agree with that.

Using that principle, they would figure out that the SouthWest would not be the best place to go to, and also that they would be better positioned around where they lived, and areas they knew. So I think that the 'far abandon' of the wild-countryside, would be their last option. They're more likely to be in the caravan parks they know well, and in areas 'like their homes' that they recognise.

With that in mind, what percentage of them will have the ability to forage, or be able to set up good farming and the alike? Probably a very small amount.

I genuinely thing that a few well placed shots would deter people enough from staying near 'your area'. Even if they were just air rifle pellets through the front windscreen, or something like that. Nobody wants to settle down in an area where they're getting shot at!
