After reading that short bit on Detroit, I got to thinking, “What’s my Plan B?” Fortunately, I had an open tab to The Oil Drum (which is only a little bit on the paranoid side of things). Today it has a post titled A Realistic Plan and Time Line for Your Survival Homestead. From the post:
My guess is that almost all city people underestimate what goes into establishing a homestead. And, most importantly, how long it will take – if you start the process today, you should be ready some time in 2016-2017 — if you work like a dog and are lucky.
I think I’ve said it before: Some people can work hard labor and feel enriched by it. They are the salt of the Earth. In contrast, I am the powdered sugar of the Earth. Society breaks down, and I am screwed.
