Country folk are probably going to just help each other out and live out their lives.

City problem as I see it.

I agree. I lived just twenty minutes out of town on ten acres and I noticed a big difference since I moved back into the city. There is more crime, more cranky neighbours and less available help in the city.

I would 3rd that but you want to make sure you live way out in the sticks and not easy to find. If you live too close to the city, when things go bad it will all spill into your lap.

I think a HUGE part of the trouble with society is people are piled on top of each other in the cities... If people just spread out a bit I think many of our problems would go away and it would be a better world..

People that live in the country are closet Survivalist' and dont even know it..
If SHTF there would be problems, but not the mayhem you will see in large cities.. I know living on 25 acres in N. Idaho 30-40 minutes from large populations is a MUCH better situation than we were in, in Slow Cal...:cool:

I've seen the above stated many times. Somehow people that live in rural areas are more honorable than people that live in cities. Not true - human nature is the same all over.

Do you really think people in the cities will just stay there?

Husband - Honey, staying in the city is sure death. What do you think we should do?
Wife - Stay here
Husband - OK

Rural response to:
pandemic - It won't come to rural areas (study Spanish Flu)
city folk coming into rural areas - We will protect ourselves.

I agree that rural areas will be safer in the beginning, after that the situation would evolve to be the same as a city environment.

OP - Thanks for posting the youtube link; I wanted to see it.

I enjoyed watching this. LONG, but informative from a human behavior perspective. Not really any new information but it did coalesce in a way I've never seen on a program before. I really do think our civilization is fragile, in so many ways. I like being ready for a potential collapse. I would rather be ready than surprised. Thanks for posting this Newknife.

I agree. Did they ever give the potential die off numbers? The USA population is 309M if the die off is 80% that would leave 60 million; which feels high to me. I would guess that at the end of that program the die off would be closer to 90% or 30m alive.
I plan on staying home and watching it on the telly.

Watching it now, but this early quote struck me as appropriate.

I like reading "apocalypse" books and movies along that line, even though I find many of them lame on the surface. I always come away with at least one bit of knowledge or an idea of what I might do, even if it is the opposite of what the story shows people doing (Don't open that door!). :eek:
