if I got caught away from home we are talking mostly 10 miles, once a month we do a "big" shop and that's 25 miles away. I carry a GHB in the car(permanently) what you would call a fanny pad I think, we call it a "bum"(as in butt) bag!!
the furthest im normally from home,is approximately 55 miles.give or take a mile or 2..which means i'd need a good riding bicycle or motorcycle....in which a motorcycle is out of the queston,when it comes to the car.so i'd probally go with a older bike,that i can rebuild and repair them myself.,seeing how i use to repair and rebuild my own bikes when i was a kid,up into my teens..
sounds good.but im thinking along the lines of saving space when it comes to the vehicle.on acount i dont thing there's a way of installing a bicycle rack for one.to me that means a fold up bike..
i like the 2nd link..but im wondering,if i'd be able to include a motor set-up of some kind..

One advantage of a bike is the lack of noise to attract attention. An electric motor would solve the issue.i like the 2nd link..but im wondering,if i'd be able to include a motor set-up of some kind..

the more people you have in your group the more mouths you have to feed.I imagine the size of your group also matters, a group of 10 is probably safer than 2
Yes, but there's also more hands available for things like finding food, hauling water, gathering firewood, and really important, security.the more people you have in your group the more mouths you have to feed.
yes, but its a never ending circle, the more people you have the more food you need the more land you need to grow food on so you need more people to work the land and so it goes on. that's IF you can get them to do the work in the first place , most will sit around complaining.Yes, but there's also more hands available for things like finding food, hauling water, gathering firewood, and really important, security.
Those are the ones you fire.yes, but its a never ending circle, the more people you have the more food you need the more land you need to grow food on so you need more people to work the land and so it goes on. that's IF you can get them to do the work in the first place , most will sit around complaining.
then they know where you are and what you have got, they tell others, what then?Those are the ones you fire.
I was only joking about firing them, latrine duty for a week will usually motivate someone. Seriously though, you have to sleep sometime. You have to have a few to share the workload. Three guys with guns can take a couple, but are less likely to attempt to take a compound.then they know where you are and what you have got, they tell others, what then?
I think this is the difference between groups in the US and those in the UK. groups in the UK will be smaller than those in the US.I was only joking about firing them, latrine duty for a week will usually motivate someone.

a bigger group is ok but when a few decide they want it all,,,,what the hell do you do then,,,,,,for me this is simple pick a isolated location,install a bunker and trust no one but the dogI imagine the size of your group also matters, a group of 10 is probably safer than 2
Yeah it comes down to trust. Things like natural disasters and war bring out the best and worst in people, in relativity large groups like +15 the group strength outweighs any few individuals. If a few persons want to behave badly the group sorts them out quickly, it is overwhelming numbers - majority of people will do the right thing.. If you have a group of less than 5 and two individuals go crazy or decide to split from the group due to a disagreement on an issue it is problematic for the rest to sort them out.yes but can you TRUST them? that's always been my problem.
in times of adversity people will try to take advantage of others, its human nature.
which is why I want to be as far away from other people as I can get.
Can you imagine trying to hoe just one acre by hand? Then have to go gather firewood to cook with or boil water. Then stay up all night to guard against those that will kill you for a single chicken. It just can't be done alone.I think of it this way, in the immediate aftermath most of us wil survive using foods we have already cached so we will be able to get by for a while in small family groups. BUT when we start to rebuild and want to grow / raise our food I think we will need the mutual support of others to help with farming and GUARDING our crops and critters. Especially as we MAY not have motorised or power assisted tools to help us farm.
why an acre? I suppose it depends on the size of your group, but most people over estimate how much land is required, we wont be growing large fields of wheat and corn post SHTF, we will be growing smaller areas with a variety of crops, more like allotment growing in the UK, raised beds and growing in containers like tyres/tires will be the norm.Can you imagine trying to hoe just one acre by hand?

If you look at the survival shows where people have to fend for themselves the vast majority of well trained survivalist fail, and they all lose lots of weight, that is in high bio-diverse areas. It is not sustainable.
If one takes veg and grain seed, chickens or rabbits - quite easy to set up a sustainable community.
