People have been talking about SHTF scenarios since Y2k. The S is not going THF in a way that most people think. Maybe localized SHTF but not nationwide…at least not unless another world war starts. So what is going to happen? Increases in local lawlessness. A civilization requires a good networked law enforcement to work properly. If you lose that network, localized lawlessness can occur…even within the local law enforcement. we are seeing some of that happening through videos on YT where police get out of control and evidence of pockets of police state mentality. The SHTF is not going to be “one day its not…..the next day it is” it will slowly trickle into people’s lives randomly, wearing us down like a grindstone financially, then emotionally, then physically until, one day, we are at that point of desperate existence. The S won’t hit the fan, it will accumulate until it stinks and chokes us to death.

Leaving where you normally live and where everyone knows you, is not the best plan. If you move to the wilds, most people would die from lack of know how and stupidity, and in America the locals will shoot first and ask questions later. Fear does terrible things to peoples morality.
