What to do if a group men at each corner of your house attack you with Molotov cocktails to burn you out? How about 20 men? Power will 100% be out and not coming back on. A house will be impossible to defend with two people and some dogs. Dogs are very easy to kill and a horde of starving / bad people cannot be stopped without a small army. You will only be able to hold out for a very short period of time in a sever collapse, as in society is permanently gone. This is the type of situation I am referring to. Not trying to frighten you but you need to be prepared for a harsh reality. You will need an escape and evade plan in place.
If you read the survival literature short term leaving can be better in the early chaos which is the worst of it. But long term you are fucked and have zero advantages left. Long term the people who made it past the first 30 days become the threat and have major advantages. Usually their only problem is needing to leave for something and exposing themselves. When you do need to finally leave you are physically way better off than had you left in the beginning. But will be threatened way more by what you describe than if you still had a position to hold.
Holding a position in any city will be impossible.
False. That’s why plenty did it in Yugoslavia. And many other cases. This isn’t even war. This is economic collapse and normies.
They have to get close enough to my house to hit it. They won’t. Only two sides are even approachable by layout and the two exposed sides are covered by my neighbors who are also heavily armed and not leaving. The perimeter will extend far off my property. Guy across the street and two people on either side of me are well-supplied and tactical. We are all on the same page. 20 people ain’t gonna make it inside or live long enough. The layout is 100% against them and there are too many guns. They have no cover, no concealment, and can be seen long before they can hit the house. We won’t let people use the road anywhere near us in the first place. Mofos will have to go around. The most vulnerable direction for me is uphill and wide wide open with other houses. Weak desperate people have many better choices. Strong people have weaker prey. People trying to live another day don’t fuck around. Dogs are easy to kill IF they get inside. And having to fight my dogs makes them easier for me to kill. Won’t happen anyways. If you saw my position you’d get it. The longer it goes on the weaker the threats get. 30 days in people who have slept like shit with little food and need medical who aren’t trained in the first place will be very weak. 30 days out I will be one of them.
It’s way more dangerous to leave in my situation. Completely open and exposed with all the chaos and other mofos preying on those people. With nowhere to go. Already have everything I need here with barriers and obstacles and advantages. After a few weeks my position gets even better with less people around even if more of them are threats. Keep in mind people who are threats will know the ‘burbs will be softer targets with great payoff.
Not to mention burning the house in theory defeats the point of getting my supplies. The main reason to attack me. Not that they will pull it off. I live on a big property.
