Stormlion,
I agree with what you said. Being away from population IS a better solution that being in population for the very reasons you state.
There is one problem, unless you are in a isolated spot when SHTF, you are going to be stuck in the city. Transportation arteries will grind to a halt within minutes. EVERYONE is trying to get the heck out of Dodge. Right now I could afford to buy a spot away from Fayetteville, NC. BUT I work on Fort Bragg. So once again I would be stuck getting out. Now, granted, with a T2K type scenario where SHTF starts somewhere else and takes time getting to the USA, then there is the option of evacuation. But, as was stated here on the forum a long time ago, when the first nuke lights off in China, the scramble to get the heck out is on. Transportation stops, you are stuck. Not fun.
Time to get off of my soap box.
My $0.02
Mike
