Slow Breakdown - How will you be hit?

[Steve]

OK, my fault for commenting on the Faraday cage, but no need to end a thread - it's just an "aside", like in normal conversation.

So, downward spiral is my priority scenario, because it's actually happening. I can live a simpler life, as can most people, as long as I have a few essentials taken care of. I asked myself what did I really need to survive, and the answer was shelter, means to harvest water, means to grow food, and means to protect it all. Boxes are amply ticked.

I sold up in the South East ( worked in London all my life ) and bought a smallholding way over West. I found a local job I enjoy, grow food and raise pigs.

Loads of room here, massive dry barn, fields, ponds, static caravans, don't see another person from one week to the next if we don't want to.

I'm surprised more people don't do it, I bought the lot for just a bit more than I sold my 3 bed semi and woodland in Kent for. Even before TSHTF, it's a much nicer place to live.

Bug out now - you know it makes sense.
