Your Ideal Doomsday Survival Situation/Prepper Thread

Yeah, I have been using my cell as a hot spot for 6 years as my full time internet connection. The area where my new house is, the data is spotty. Will need to see if another carrier is better.

I do have a generator, a lot of folks do. You have to remember, we don't get this kind of weather here. Ever. This is like saying Ohio should be better prepared for hurricanes.

Different cell carrier, although it doesn't matter much when the towers don't have juice and their backup generators run dry.

In a total prepper situation?
ALL services are going to go the way of the DoDo.
No water, fuel, electricity, food, ammo, medicine, etc.

Given many depend on the slightest amount of all just to live day to day?
Why allow yourself to be in that type situation?

I can survive for quite awhile with no services of any type.
I may have to resort to taking what I need after awhile but I'm perfectly capable and armed for that.

Now. The Wife and I are not on any medications that are life saving. So I don't need to raid for Insulin or stuff like that.
Plenty of Deer and Turkey so food is not an issue.
Can burn wood for heat as I live near a large wooded area.
My Air Guns I can hand pump and have a HUGE reserve of ammo.

This whole thread is about prepping is it not?
So who says I'm not prepped for a Hurricane? I do get Tornado's here and the effects of Hurricanes.
I'm also near the New Madrid fault line.

I've not seen more then 10" of Snow in my drive way for about 10 years.
Today I had nearly 24"!
Should I have said it never happens here. Ever?
