This is what I would do. A small group will have difficulty dealing with a large group it doesn't matter if they are organized or if they are just a mob. The greater the number you have on your side the better your odds are of coming out on top. |

My plan is to go low-profile with my group and avoid outside contact for 3-4 weeks. After that, we poke our heads out, look around, and head downtown to see if there's functional city government and if they've heard from the rest of the state/nation.
Based on what I hear there, I take control of some abandoned government properties nearby and start farming. Which reminds me, I need to gather soil samples to send to the DNR. |

A...I currently live outside of a small town (~6000 people) with a decent piece of property but my wife's family owns ~1700 acres (1200 or so farmland the rest woods with a large river running through it) about 20 minutes away, I'd round up everything of use, a few people I trust and know will pull their weight and head there and hunker down for however long is needed. Its where we spend our weekends anyway.

Do you really believe that any rural district won't discriminate against you when you try to move in? |

You have to have societal trust. It is one of the things that is tearing us apart, we are devolving into a familial/tribal trust type of place and it is absolutely toxic for recovery and continuation. If I am not willing to help my neighbor, why would he help me when I am in crisis?
Are there some who will take advantage of it, yes? They have to be dealt with harshly and fairly. But if everyone retreats, what could be a minor blip ends up wiping out civilization. If you are going to a rural area and you are just a weekender, how long do you think you will last if you aren't willing to pitch in? |

Yea, this is about what I figured. I'd like to think that small communities could survive together, using larger numbers as good protection against threats, but the reality is that populations are unstustainably large. Even with everyone working the fields to put food on the table, you'd have massive shortages and food riots. Better to stay low until the population gets to be more manageable, then get involved if it suits you.

I reject your reality and substitute my own, because the C option is that in the given scenario my initial plan would not be to fade the hot scene in the first place. My plan would be to follow my orders, which tell me where to deploy immediately and what to do. The military would be the last functional organization in any event. And should that fail, I think I would still rather take my orders from Marshal Koivuniemi than barter with some hicks.
