If they live close enough to hear your generator they are close enough to see your garden. They will be able to smell your cooking. If you own a house there will never be a better time to sell in this super inflated market. You could build 2 times the house and buy 10 or 20 acres with the proceeds in many places away from a city. There is no good outcome to a societal breakdown. Most of us will not survive long for a variety of reasons. I do hope to hang on long enough to add what knowledge I have accumulated over 68 years to help and provide defense for my two sons and their families. Yes I have some preps, ammo and ruger carbines that swap mags with ruger pistols. Tons of buckshot and slugs. All of which are heavy and won’t be moved far even in my EMP proof well maintained vehicle. Get right with the Lord. Pray often and listen with all your senses for direction. Best to you and yours.
