As my life spirals down, I will SOON and eventually have to sell person property for income, to live. Eventually that will run out. So, I have been thinking, in the worst case senario, I have already bought four books on survival when I lost my job. (I wanted to prepare for the WORST); “When All Hell Breaks Loose”, “Survival Wisdom & Know-How” and “Suburban – Urban Survival” (That book isn’t that great) “SAS Survival Guide” .
In a city environment, having lived in San Diego, Los Angeles and Hollywood, Ca. I know first hand in having to deal with various criminals, drug dealers, pimps & prostitutes, rapists (men that rape other men), drug addicts, violent mentally ill, gang bangers, over zealous police officers & Social workers, other homeless people competing for resources. I wasn’t homeless, but it wasn’t great either being around that element.
In a Rural and Semi-Rural areas, Living in those areas, I haven’t came across many Criminals, no gangsters or wannabe gangsters, violent types, drug dealers, etc. The most problem I would forsee is lack of resources, not a competition for resources. that is when Survival skills would be put to the test. Instead of squabbling with another homeless guy over a can of tuna, I would have to fish or hunt small game (Rats, mice, squirrels, rabbits, birds), recognize edible plants, have to deal with some wild animals (wolves, wild dogs, rabid animals), etc. Be careful not to tread on someone’s property because they WILL shoot to kill. Just because it looks abandoned, doesn’t mean it is abandoned, the property owner may just show up on his tractor.
