The lower the population density the more likely they are to be armed Republicans in the USA

@shortstories I think about EU countries.

So I would not be afraid of guns.

The near houses have no farm only 2 houses have few chickens

Hard to tell if people would cooperate. Because no interaction with them.

Maybe try to cooperate and kill them after red flags?

@Stahesh

Try to form friendships with your neighbors and convince them to hoard supplies and guns

If everyone in the community already hoarded supplies and guns then there will not be a shortage where they come to steal

If a neighboring community did not prepare then you will be prepared as a community to fight against them if they attack your community to steal stuff

Nobody can defend themselves as a lone individual against the police & military because police & military are armed gangs

@Scubbie IMO SHTF by me would be any situation when government become so weak when average citizens call cops they would not come. So the country or majority of would be lawless.

I have decided longtime ago if I will be criminal on the run. My prey will be humans. I will take their stuff and kill them for food. If they will be low on food I still can get meat from humans.

@Stahesh @Scubbie Canibalism is retarded. Your body can survive 3 weeks without food. That's a way longer life expectancy than a cannibal being hunted down.
You should stockpile rice and pasta instead. Also have vitamins.

@Lorgar @Scubbie Canibalism is good when you are low on animal meat.

With carbs I get hungry, bloated and stomach issue.

So for me best is meat. So I would stockpile canned and pickled meat

@Stahesh @Lorgar LongPig best stock up on spices and cleavers,Avoid Kuru You can contract the disease by eating an infected brain or coming into contact with open wounds or sores of someone living with it.Lime and lemon juice may help but just avoid the brain and less you want to become a Ghoul
