That part may be quite difficult depending on their proximity to nearby population centers.

Indeed, even serving one bullet to a customer, there's still almost a million people in the Baltimore metro area alone; my basement - and wallet - aren't big enough to stockpile that much ammo, let alone food & water.

As far as where I live, I know where fresh water may be found - expect I'd pull a shift or three with other residents defending that; I live in a very rural area with lots of farms - subsidized to grow feed corn, or using Terminator seeds that grow for a single season without generating viable seeds for the next. Some food to be had, sure - all depending on the season.

If I'd imagine a worst case scenario, Albert Einstein comes to mind and one of the famous quotes:

When asked how World War III would be fought, Einstein replied that he didn't know. But he knew how World War IV would be fought: With sticks and stones!

At the end, it comes down to this: Only the strongest survive.
