Those that gathered in groups will be have a stronger position to survive.
For the Bug Out "to woods" isolation group, that survival assures continuity, however, unless you have stashed preps - what now. If you left your place undefended - will it still be there.
For the Bug In "In Place" group there is a well defined MAG and defense plan to protect the resources.
Both come with challenges and risks.
Again - Keep in mind a 1% of 1% change of occurrence. Try to keep things real and achievable.
Totally agree with your assessment of CP. However, he does delve into great scenarios which help your mind think differently. He also digs up a lot of facts, then summarizes accordingly. The 100 Common over the counter drug effectiveness over 10 yrs (DHS sponsored), which tested 100 type of Antibiotics, Tylenol, ect was a good video for understanding how long med preps last. I said Prepper Nurse before (it is Patriotic Nurse) is the name, she has great medical info.Quote:

Pretty much any scenario in a Revelations 6 discussion and our current culture and society is screwed.
As for gardens... in my big back yard when I expanded the garden some ... my wife bought 3 rolls of sod....
As for prep ... I bought some dry goods like oatmeal and canned goods.... and my wife still complains if we haven't finished the pasta sauce and I buy a new one...
There are a huge number of people that live even more what you can call credit card to hand to mouth out there that don't have a couple days food little alone the recommended emergency amounts.... before the people that shop once a week are in need there will be a huge percentage that will have been without food for days.... and without cash too. We definitely can't count on the wisdom of the gov't, ESPECIALLY the one we have now, just look at how the Wuhan Pneumonia turned out so far.
Solar flares... that could shut us down for weeks or years and are much more common...

.... fortunately the earth is a small target and flares like the Carrington event have so far missed us, I BELIEVE there were 2 or 3 of that size in the last cycle (11 years) but all went merrily off in other directions.

Asteroids, solar flares, epidemics, mini ice ages, war, terrorism .... and an almost totally unprepared population .... what could go wrong .... well looking back at history... perhaps... something like when the Europeans arrived in North America would be comparable. It is estimated as many as 50,000,000 or more died, often just because no one was able to care for the sick so the entire populations of towns and cities died out. I recall that some of the early Spanish maps of the US south had over 60 large towns .... a century later it was 6 to 12 medium towns * If I remember right and the coverage was correct. Then throw in the wars started to get more furs for trading (destruction of Neutral,Huron, Petun and Erie Nations for example essentially in Ontario alone) and the population was 90% dead... as a comparison the Black Death was estimated at 40 to 50%.
P.S.
How often are there big CME.

Anyone within 200kms of a major city would be doomed.
