Those that recommended 'One Second After'

Thanks for the info Jerry. I will let you know if I can make the class.

I'm about half way through the book. They are just figuring out they are going to get hit with a very large group of raiders. It's just going to be fricken ugly. I can see it already. Man, I'd of been making sears and springs for some of those firearms long before this. I'd of had a few canisters of kaboom to drop from that plane cooked up by now too.

The biggest eye opener so far is just how dependent we are on the transportation infrastructure for a steady resupply of food and medications. I mean, I see it working at walmart all the time. Hell, we got totally cleaned out last weekend due to superbowl parties. A mad rush would turn that place into a killing field. It's the months afterward that Really have me thinking.

If it is not out of place does any one have a copy they could lend me? i would pay for shipping both ways.

By the time you pay for shipping both ways you might as well spend a few extra bucks to buy yourself a copy. It's worth owning and B&N usually has a few copies on hand.

We should support independent book stores like we try to support local gun shops.

Just picked it up in SFO yesterday. What an awesome read. I am not the "reading books" type. I like picutures.... I am about 80 pages in and cant set it down.

Question for you guys... I just finished reading TSA and I'm in the camp of getting my crap together for this or any other SHTF type scenario. What I am debating is to bug out or to honker down. What are your thoughts about what you would do in this situation?

Pros of hunkering down:
Got 2 kids (7 and 2) and a wife - not gonna do a lot of rucking with kids.
Might be able to lay low enough to not raise attention if we stayed in the basement and defended what we have.
Can stock up and live off of 9 months of food for our family with some reasonable preparation.
Even w/o heat or electricity shelter from the elements and a fireplace is golden.
No humping lol

Cons of hunkering down:
House is a nightmare to defend - one Molotov cocktail and the place (including the brood and everything you worked toward/food) is up in smoke.
If the "Posse" type scenario happens you are screwed.
If you DID decide to take off chances are it would be too late and roads choked or shut down with others in the same thought.

I am interested to see what you all think about putting yourself in a SHTF scenario and your rational.

I think it all depends on your current house: i.e. your location, neighboorhood, surrounding areas, and what exactly the scenario is (if you're even able to tell).

I can tell you I sure as hell wouldn't want to hunker down in a house in the city, because of the people around, panic, lack of supplies, looting, etc, but if you live in one of those areas, would it be more dangerous to get out? You would either want to get a jump on everyone else leaving, or if you can make it a few days until the initial batshit crazy dies down, and then get it.

Just a few of my thoughts.

Eminent Plague by Don Lowell published by Dorrance Publishing Co. inc. ISBN 978-1-4349-1166-7

Picked it up from amazon, going to see if it is any good.
