Best to know your neighbors before the event. That doesn't mean you have to give them a guided tour of your stashes.

No question that backpackers are better prepared, especially psychologically, to get through a disaster.


My plan would involve leaving town (in a long term emergency) and staying with family on a nearby farm and possibly moving further out in the same direction to a family ranch that is more isolated with resources. I am not going to be able to count on any of my neighbors for help. My immediate neighbors are generally good people (except 1) but are not the type to hold down the fort as they are not physically capable.

There is no way I would stay in this town as it is full of too many people living off the government. This equals no personal responsibility and no preparation which = anarchy if the gov't fails.
