Guys you have to give the people on the show credit. They were portraying the typical LA family that has not prepared. No guns of their own no food supplies and no idea what to do or how to survive.

Rastus,

Most insurance plans allow you to buy your meds via the mail for up to three months with only two months co-pays.  You should check into the process.

Thanks for the idea.  We get the three month thing...but it cycles down to about 2 weeks supply when replenished.  This is why I want to go ahead and buy the 6 mos. plus supply....I actually would feel better about 18 mos. for her.

This is true and when you wont listen to the experts who are paid to be consultants you end up with a docudrama that is sooooooo far from the norm of what will happen. And sooooooo tailored to the people in the city. REMEMBER country boys can survive.

2HOW I agree. I do not need to bug out. I live in the country. I skin deer, run trot lines, trap lines, snares, wood stoves. I am where I need to be.

I may have mentioned this before, but when they asked me how I planned to bug out, I told the producers that I lived in one of the places that urban people plan to bug out to, and that we have lots of ammo, handy earth movers for closing roads and a great big NO VACANCY sign...

I've always thought that if resources permitted I would leave Ohio and go back to NM. Only because where I use to live is atop of a 12 mile long 8 mile wide aquifer and has plenty of access to uncrowded mountains and plains for hunting wildlife. Not to mention huge resources of wild fish and birds and huh huh bear. But because it is considered "harsh land" most people avoid it for places like west Texas and Colorado. I bet Wyoming would be nice in a hellistic situation. Just kidding. No ONE EVER WANTS TO GO TO WYOMING!!!

Not with that -40 degree weather crap.

[garand4life]

Another reason to like southern NM... Even in the coldest weather it's still survivable. Granted it gets somewhat hotter you don't have humidity to deal with. You get sufficient rain fall and have an underground source. Plus the winters aren't near as harsh as CO, WY, OH, PA, KS, etc.

A big +1 on that.

We are not super-remote, and the road in front of the house is paved......but, all the land on either side for the six-mile length of the road (several thousand acres) is owned by just a few families that know each other and get along well. We all have heavy equipment. A few motivated individuals with chainsaws and tractors could block the road at strategic points and close it down tight.
