I wish I had the cash to have a safe zone and transportation to get there in the event of whatever possibility. Who knows what could happen given the mindset of portions of the population. It doesn't take that many people to create total chaos if they act all at once....

You don't need to be super rich to prepare for SHTF THIS We're getting a bargain on somebody's Y2K bug out property in our new house search. I gather they're financial business types who are retiring and moving to warmer climates to enjoy retirement and to get away from the angry mobs. It's a 2400sq ft vacation home for them that will be a full time home for us. In a location with population just over 900 that is 98% white, over 10 miles from the nearest Interstate, 5 miles from the nearest US highway and located well back off the road. I don't expect much trouble to be coming out our way to visit, and if they do the front deck has a great field of fire on the approach. |

I did hide the coordinates. I honestly hope I didn't screw the guy by putting up the screen shot. I have done the gun for hire gig in the past but it has always been security and/or transportation. Fishing isn't my thing. edit: spellerin an puncturation.

'Cept NZ is a really silly place to hide out.
It's a fucking small island in the middle of nowhere, and everybody knows their neighbours and intruders. And as somebody else said, any plane that can land on a dirt/grass strip is not gonna get you on the island. Or off it, at least more than once. There's just nowhere to go, nowhere to hide. |
