Didn't you fall for that ruse before?
Only partly!
In fact... come to think of it... I probably owe her for my having gotten so heavily into shooting.
It was that or spend large chunks of time with her...
What do you see when looking at your neighbors?

Looking around...
I see pitts X'd with dam near everything, lots of hotheads with guns...everyone hunts and most are " related ".
Everyone kills, butchers, preserves...knows how to live with whats around.
I am really feeling confident...way more so than living in town with police protection.
Rita, Ike, not after any storm have I seen police even patrol out here. Which is fine, we'll call when we need ya guys.
Did I mention I have a fierce guard dog ??

I don't think that 95% of the hunters out there would be worth a damn when they had to depend on it. Most people have forgotten how to hunt without batteries, automatic dispensers, and cameras. I give it a month before a large number of groups turn to cannibalism.

It'll be our little secret lol
I've got an older gentleman who lives by me who has a good head and can fix things. Not super gun friendly. I have a vet who lives close that has a good heart and can repair cars but not a lot of firearm skills. Another guy who is a nurse but otherwise has no usable skills and not a lot of heart. Everyone else are decent people but pretty much sheep and worthless in a pinch. If it got bad I'm on my own. Just me and my family. If it gets too bad I'm leaving to the family land.
There is a whole different story. The people there have real world skills. Farming, raising animals, canning, making clothing. They can live off the land and trade/barter their skills to live a decent living. Heck, they do that now and nothing has hit the fan. This is their normal way of life. "I'll give you x amount of produce for x amount of beef.". "If you stitch up my kids cut Doc, I'll fix the AC in your car."
You can see I've put a little thought into this.

You sure did...!!! and now your talking Barter trading...Which is a skill into it's self..
It is. I'm just glad I have family "on the inside" already established there. Lands been in their family for generations. They are trusted there, and because of that, I'm not an "outsider". I've already made my connections there over the past 17 years.
I have no idea where this whole "bartering" crap came from. People did it waaaaaay back in the day when there was no government money. In a world of total anarchy with a bunch of morons only know stuff based on what they see on tv, a barter system will not work, unless between strong groups that can live mutually beneficial to each other. Everyone else will be seen as a detrement and I will trade them one bullet each for everything they have. They will subsequently be added to the pile of "trespassers."

If you really pay attention on just this site, I believe more of the Vets have their "feces consolidated" a little better than the average mortal. C.B. Radio will probably be the only functional means of communication. Maybe we should all get some small C.B.'s and develop our own cipher so as to have a network, when the grid collapses.
Just as members we are pretty spread throughout the southern part of the state and could cover a lot of ground with relays. I'll be recruiting Marines, since well, we're just friggin awesome, and already a little crazy, I'll even take a few seabees so they can build stuff, and some corpsmen as well. Air travel is out of the question and they don't know how to use guns anyway, so airmen, you're on your own. Army guys, well it'll be case by case, law enforcement experience will move you up on the list.
Here are my open billets, if you don;t know how a gun works, you're SOL.
Doctor, preferably former field surgeon
Pharmacist, they're typically smarter than most doctors
Nurse, they're typically smarter than doctors
Veteranarian
Real hunters
Rice farmer
Veggie farmer
Mech. Engineer
Cook, with multiple awards for BBQ or Jambalaya
Electrician
Reloader, that can cast bulets as well
Amish, lots of amish. They already have a great background on living off the land
Emperor gets in if he brings his binos, and some crawfish

Very interesting?!?
I realize I may need to clan with some extra like minded individuals, but I am trying to limit my reliance!
I ain't going to Vanilla Gorilla's ditch medicine class just to take a ride to Robert.

We need only look to other countries where a collapse of some kind went down to see what might happen here. Its not going to be all Mad Max with an Aunty Entity calling the shots but bartering, like in just about every third world butt crack, will have a place. Not everyone will ONLY take gold or silver. Services will also be a commodity. Sure, there will be ass hats that will shoot you for your stuff, but in established communities bartering will be a big way of doing things. It already is where I plan on going if things get REALLY bad. Economic collapse does not = The Walking Dead.

Stop rationalizing!!! You're ruining my fantasy land reimagining of something that has yet to happen

I edited my list.
Limited reliance is most practical, but by limiting too much, you cut yourself off.
My colony will also go off of "college rules." You gotta bring toilet paper if you want to come over!
