Surviving New York City After SHTF

[tc556guy]

Same guy, different interview.
Don't think I'd go on TV showing my preps.
This guy isn't the only one that has done that.....

If SHTF happens, no one is going to remember this guy's interviews and go looking for him.

In a city of eight million, true enough about people not in his immediate neighborhood.

His neighbors are probably the ones he should worry about.

This NYFD guy is a dumby
"Buckshot MIGHT go thru a guy"

i think he iknows the difference between birdshot and Buckshot

My view on this scenario is skewed in a bad way. I do not live in NYC, hell, I have only been there a couple of times. All I really know about NYC is what I see on TV. From everything I see, I hate it and could not imagine living there. My perceptions are probably not realist. I see all those people as the enemy if a SHTF time occurs.

I think of current events, like Hurricane Micheal... If this type of storm would hit NY the way it has hit Florida, I can only imagine how shitty times would be. I can't even imagine trying to escape.

I get edgy when driving south on the thruway to Middletown gun show and I start seeing the signs for NYC !! LOl What IF I screw up driving and end up there !!?? OMG !! I'll gladly stay up here among my fellow ''woodchucks''.

That has actually happened to me before with New Jersey. I was in PA in Matamoras and there was heavy traffic on 84 to get back to NY. I took side roads and ended up in Jersey.

I worry about the "1 off, black swan" type scenarios. I think even if there is a catastrophe as long as it is localized and not nationwide things will be ok. Supply chains will remain in tact, people will work together, there is still rule of law etc..

My "fear" are the massive CME, EMP, major extended grid down, asteroid, yellowstone, major pandemic, limited nuclear exchanges etc

If the supply chain stops, people start starving and the rule of law breaks down, that's where I don't know what will happen and how people will behave. Those are the scenarios that worry me.

what is ..black swan'' DTK ?

WILLjr Coming back from a vacation in Penn. 20 years ago...............can't remember the specifics, but I was only 1/2 paying attention to wife/navigator. We keep going and i see signs for towns I don't recognize. Finally see a sign for ''Paterson'' (say, isn't that in NJ ) Yep....sure as shit.ended up there. THEN I could not find my way back to Penn. I kept getting FURTHER lost in NJ.. Finally got back to Penn. then up into NYS.

I came to a conclusion that day............at least 1/2 of NJ population MUST be made up of people who ran out of gas and ended up staying !

"The food will last us probably...nine months."

Dafuq, that guy's like 280 mostly muscle and I saw one shelf of ramen, plus he has some MREs in the back of the closet. He'll be out of food by Sunday afternoon!

Was wondering where the guns are, but nobody is taking this guy's pack.



He hates the city, "too many hipsters and liberals". I like the guy!

They see people as a little nuts.

Shows like doomsday preppers (I loved it and miss it) didn't help.

I had lunch with a friend today and I know he wants some preps but his wife isn't on board--she'd think he's nuts. I gave him a few ideas on how to grease the skids and get started. I told him I'm almost totally "normal" and most of my attention goes into high odds eventualities, like retirement, stock market growth, etc., but I keep just a few percent aside for the crazy shit like a food and ammo cache. All in good fun.

A black swan event just refers to a rare one off event.

I'm in Westchester. My plan is to take up defensive positions against the hordes as they travel north from NYC after a SHTF situation.

You upstate guys should thank those of us down here. We're your primary defense and your tripwire.

Glad to know you got my back @Phazer while I'm headed north or east. Hold em off as long as you can and I'll erect a statue in your honor.
