i live in a rich area, you know it would blindside those people, people would be rushing to their familes and trying to find out news about whats happening. First day/weeks it would panic, terror, confusion. Yes their would be people just like me but not too many in my area. My area is perfect for this situation, the majority of people would be scared shitless and stunned like someone threw a flashbang at them, in which that time is when the level headed people like myself and the people who i have planned this with will begin our looting/preperation phase. You sound like your just gonna run into the woods and become a mountain man, thats cool man you do that shit but i dont know if you would last any longer than i would. You have to be confident in yourself yes but you also have to have a handful of people that you trust your life with and have confidence in them too, which i have. Its all circumstantial and depends on where you live and how it happens, like i said before. In my area i would be able to get the edge on everyone and something like that would be priceless in those times. This is all just something that people like me and you have simulated in our heads and nobody can be 100% that things would go the way they planned cause its chaos of course but to have a solid plan and backups is as prepared as you can be. I dont live in a big city i live in the suburbs, and i have to say with the people here, my plan would be as perfect as you could get planning wise. I could talk for hours on the details but i dont want to type all that out or give away secrets
