I personally do think it’s a good idea to prepare for maximizing our chances in a worst case scenario. All this stuff above is prob next years investment, keep it all in a shed but put up the fence posts around the backyard to minimize what has to be done if the power disappears permanently. From what I’ve read most people will be in a state of confusion or denial for a few days waiting for power to come back on.
Those critical few days would be the time I’d dig the cameras and perimeter sensors out of faraday bags amd get the perimeter razor wire fence up ASAP. Baton down the hatches and prepare for the first 3 months hunkered down. Lots of starving desperate people roaming around and looting I’d expect.
I expect we’d survive that ok.
it’s the survivors of the 3-6 month period and beyond I really worry about. They would have survived due to the “skillset” they developed and success using it.
ThisSorry to derail the thread. If you believe your three year old may have autism, reach out to your pediatrician for early childhood development programs in your area. It’s free if your child qualifies and will do wonders for you and your kid.

Don’t laugh. That is a seriously good idea. I will need a fairly heavy security force if I expect to keep any of this shit nailed down...Actually the best bet for survival might be seeing if @Nick Fury will let you park a camper at his house/farm/range thing.
Not sure I’d call what I’m worried about a “fantasy”. If that’s your idea of what comes after a SHTF scenario you haven’t thought seriously about it.
This.Any visible fortification is confirmation that the property offers a good rate of return on incursion

You're way too deep down the rabbit hole imho. That's a big budget for a family with two young kids. Unless you're very successful there have to be far better ways to scratch that prepping itch right now...
...Last but not least, unless you lighten up your wife will likely eventually leave you.
And be cooperative during government school hours.Living life on the spectrum is difficult and most of the help given just helps to mask symptoms and make the kid easier to take out in public.
If thing get that bad just go on a vacation in some other country till things calm down.i got a few beatup guns, ammo, 1/2 year of food,enough to bug in for a few months, after that vacation time for the whole family in asia, wife like my plan.bug in and fight off looters for years on end will not work, women and children are not combattants.
Ill drive and fight my way till i can get to an airport where we can take off... or ill hold em mf off till wife and kid ply off.... this is a good enough plan as any.Interesting plan. I hope you get enough notice...
In every drama laden event ever seen or read about the airport is the last place I would want to be.

Wife is fully supportive so far. Of course, I haven’t told her about the fake cadavers and razor wire yet... lol.
but I’ll probably skip that anyway
Thanks all for the feedback and ideas. Deception and redirection are good ideas. Secondary deep woods bug out cabin also good idea.
Unless you are building an underground living complex, there is no property within the 495 belt that could be sufficiently hardened to withstand a total societal collapse. Any visible fortification is confirmation that the property offers a good rate of return on incursion
If he's South of Route 9, he had a reasonable fear....that's where Ashland is......The Mad Max scenario you imagine is a very, very low probability event. You will drive yourself nuts trying to plan for it in Framingham and also spend a ton of money on stuff that will eventually go to the dump.
In any case it's impossible for one rifleman to defend a suburban house in the scenario you imagine. If you're serious about this you need to think more about deception and concealment than an active defense.
QUARANTINEIf there are any diseases happening at the time post signs that people should stay away or risk infection.
He's one of the what if crowd. He has this elaborate scheme in his head. He wants to see what people are going to tell him on here. IF he was truly concerned about his family he would move away from all big city's. This is just a fantasy in his head.
One more suggestion I forgot earlier. Scatter a bunch of household items and broken furniture in your yard and driveway. Make your house look burned and looted with the front door ajar and the Golden Horde may just pass you by.![]()
Where was your first purse fight with mgnoob because I missed it?You really want to continue this slug fest? Given your obsession with me I'd say you're the one who needs a therapist.
I can't look at PM's. Screen cap and PM meAs admin I’m sure you can take a look. If you need the screen shots and links hit me up in private message.
Shake my head laughing....This guy needs some stumpsWhere was your first purse fight with mgnoob because I missed it?
I'm going to be brutally honest here so take it like my friends would take it.
If you are literally planning on defending .25 acres in the city or burbs I have bad news for you. Three of my friends and I could smoke you out and shoot you dead faster than you would even realize what was going on.
