They have a brick house with higher windows, window overlooking the driveway, larger lot with better fields of fire/observation and a bit more out of the way. Plus plenty of room for the extended family and full freezers . They have the real food and I have all the emergency food.

They have their own Arsenal, have CC Licenses and are dead shots with pistols.

Many hands make for light work, and shorter shifts at night.

Pete how many trips would it take to move all your stuff that you need from your house to your in-laws? and what would you sacrafice if lets say you could only make 2 trips.
And do you guys have any way to power the freezers when the utilitys go off.
Meat will go bad fast. unless you start salting it right away or smoke it.

Im sort of at a transition right now I have a house but would not stick around if things got bad,
I would load up the truck and small camper and move. to a wilderness area, mainly as a squater hunter type guy after my 3 months food ran out if the emergency lasted that long.
I would also set up a still if i could mainly for barter and trade if needed.

The biggest problem I have is Fuel and traveling on roads because I have to assume roads will be blocked by.
A. Military or LEO's
B. local residents that dont want strangers passing threw thier town.
C. Gangs of Looters and Thugs wanting toll to pass, or worst take everything you have.

Any thoughts on Moble Survival Vs Stadic Defence. good and bad of both.
I have my Idea's but want to hear others.
Pete's was the first post of this type we know what his plan is.
