I've been watching videos of places I used to visit for more than 8 years get wiped off the face of the earth. I've been motivated to bring some supplies up to some friends of mine in Western North Carolina. My wife has some family near Asheville and Unicoi. I have some friends in Burnsville that I want to run supplies to.

Does anyone know if I should try driving past Asheville or go all the way around from the east?

Those people are self sufficient, except the ruling class tax collectors. most of these folks would love to be cut off from the outside world. The gov is focusing on 1. Reestablishing routes for tax collectors and police 2. Condemning property they're going to pass to their investor buddies 3. Pretending like they're saving the day (these folks are self sufficient)

You had better have a high clearance 4wd vehicle and a winch.

I do. I'm seeing if I can get some 4 wheelers from my in laws too. Planning on going up with my buddy in two F150s. One could either pull a trailer or have it in the bed. I haven't decided if it's worth bringing yet.

Not close enough, sending stuff to those that are since (some) shops are fucking about with pricing to make $$$.

Pissed the fuck off about the gov getting in the way of citizens helping out.

Future thoughts? "But who will build the roads"? Yeah, well you know what? Who is going to save your friends/family/etc. Oh, that is going to be about 25 fucking meetings with a bunch of fucking morons that have no idea what they are doing while some locals get their shit together and help people.

Fucking bullshit.

Yeah it's been incredibly sad to watch. I want to get up there from Monday to Wednesday to drop off two pickup trucks worth of supplies to my long time friends and extended family up there. I'm hoping by the time we go, most of the roads to get there will at least have a bypass or alt route set up.

My friends in Burnsville have received zero help yet. Videos I've watched say the area has more than enough supplies but they haven't received any of it yet. I've known the people for 20 years and they need some help.

The hurricane just narrowly skipped by me. I got a lot of rain but zero damage in the area.

I wish you safety and luck. Be armed, there are reports of fuck heads looting and stealing. Good on you for taking care of your own, Bless you.

I appreciate that man. My buddy and I are going up with a rifle and a sidearm each. I'm just hoping we can get up there.
