Where will the intruders come from?

Anyone who read this work on Hyperinflation in 1920's Germany, will understand that even those not in major population areas are not safe. When food ran out in the cities, roving gangs went out into the countryside in search of food. When they found a source, they took what they wanted and killed anyone who tried to stop them. The same also happened in Argentina. Those in the country suffered just as much if not more than those in the cities. The absence of any police force in the countryside encouraged this looting and killing.

So, security is a major issue regardless of where you're at.

BTW, this essay could have been written about the U.S. The circumstances are almost identical. The truth makes Stephen King's The Stand a bedtime story.

You have to be willing and able to take responsibility for your own security both now and if something ever does happen. The gubmint will not "ensure health and safety" as some think. That may happen in a time of high crime, but in a real collapse, it's highly unlikely.

It doesn't matter if you live in the city or country, you still have to take care of yourself. Plan accordingly.

Wife and I live on a dead end dirt road six miles outside a one stop light town of 2,000. I don't think "roving bands" will make it this far out, but I'm armed and have been trained by the best. Of course, at 62 years of age I know full well I'm not a combat rifleman anymore.
