Hypothetical Wednesday December 28, 2016 – What Would You Do?

December 28, 2016 By M.D. Creekmore

You … are a ‘City Prepper’. Your household is in good condition. You have a secure water source. Your Meds and food preps are at about 50%. Fuel / markets / City services are non-existent other than one… Law Enforcement.

The assumed die off and flight from the city by the ‘Golden Hordes’ has not happened. FEMA / State and City relief efforts are slowing as surrounding resources are exhausted.

New Federal Executive orders have been in effect for only a few days. There is the sporadic crackle of gunfire in the distance but that is coming from way downtown.. miles away. All in all, this major event has not panned out as most Hollywood zombie flicks and Doom blogs have pushed on the public.

LEO in your area are stopping all moving vehicles and searching for ‘contraband’ fuel, food, arms, cash or PMs and medications of any kind Rx or OTC. Those stopped are advised to return home and hunker down as a p.m. curfew will be enforced at any time and anyone with a vehicle and fuel will have both ‘surrendered’ to the local relief efforts.

This local LEO also warns you that it is not certain but it is expected that within two weeks all food, medications, fuel sources, cash or PMs that are considered to be over a 3-day allowance will be collected on a block by block basis. She ( the LEO) also hints that shortly anyone found with a semi-automatic firearm of any caliber or gauge will have it taken without a receipt.

You have one ‘tank load’ of fuel in reserve for each of your vehicles.

You have plotted out exit routes and visited each route on foot and bicycle. What are YOU … going to do? Hunker down and hide your resources or exit the city with no location to go to and escape .. with .. your left over preps as the only option. Staying put will mean a fight of one nature or another. Bugging out may save your resources but where could you hope to ‘land’?
