      Earlier I said "commune" but I think jdl1279 said "co-op" and that seems a more accurate description of what I'm looking for.

      I'll need some good people in this co-op. We have so many talents in this forum.

          Well the Mrs is on a bend again that she wants to move 😉 A lot of geography represented here SW, how are we going to pick a location? I sure as hell don't want anywhere near DC 😉

              The Road is an amazing book and movie. Every time I read/watch if I cry my eyes out. Must be that I'm a father, it hits to close to home.

                ^ Exactly the same thing happens to me….apart from the crying because I'm a man and not a giant lady with a penis.

                    I've not seen the film yet.

                    Anyone else feel like the ending was kind of tacked on? I wish I could explain the problem I have with it but spoiler alert.

                        This is a great time to find a piece of property in an area you've always wanted to live. Back in 2014, the price for an apartment in San Francisco was insane. I think I'll venture west and find an abandoned house in SF and fix it up. I'm thinking one with a nice view of the bay.

                          I expect urban centers to implode with violence. I would try to get as far away from civilization's decaying corpse as I could.

                            You raise a fair point. In that case, I think the pacific northwest would be nice. Pretty temperate climate, lots of natural resources and food available in the wild.

                              I'm with Seawolf. Pacific Northwest would be a good way to go. There is a reason why the native people of North America flourished there.

                              I would probably try to find a functioning lab and try to synthesize medicines. I have two degrees in biology and over ten years of lab experience.

                              As for taking care of my family and their safety, I have more ammo here than we have members. I also have a small stash of medical supplies and shelf stable food (we get week long power outages in my part of Maryland) as well as a gas powered generator. I also have about 20 gallons of gasoline stashed

                              Oh, and two tanks of propane for the barbeque grill (barbeque grill is a must during a power outage)

                              I'm by no means a "prepper", but I'm also don't believe it's normal to rely on other people/your government to take care of you when you have the means to take care of yourself

                              I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                                I want to be as close to the Amish as possible, Their lifestyle wouldn't change one bit. I'm lucky to have hardcore hunters as friends with borderline prepper/survival obsessions, so I'd be eating good. When your buddy buys an old army deuce and a half just to have incase shit hits the fan, you know they are serious. Weapons for defense, ya got that covered also. I would get as far away from the city as I could and start a compound with my friends. I'm by no means a "prepper", but I'm glad I have crazy ass friend that are.

                                I'm not so sure I'd move far away from where I have lived forever. Outsiders don't take to kindly to strangers in dire strait conditions. They would probably kill you. I want to be close to people i have known for 20 plus years in a area I am familiar with and is "my turf ". Much better survival chances.

                                I also have a skill that I have perfected over the last 13 years. I also have collected a doomsday gentic seed bank that I've been breeding and saving for about the last 8 years. Id be a farming son of a bitch. And adam313 would move back to ohio and brew all my beer for me 🙂

                                I would also pimp your women with d666, and Bitch better have my money

                                Slipping gradually into senility

                                  Check that, I have close to five times as much ammo as we have members here
