it's all something to think about.

Without water people will start dropping fairly quickly, food won’t be the problem

i agree and have always believed chaos would begin within hours not days. the street thugs would be out causing chaos and looting within hours not days. i expect "the night of the first day" to be a very violent one in the cities. law abiding citizens would mostly be at home or on the defense in the city. it would be a matter of days before law abiding citizens break down

grid down you can't buy at the stores the cash out lines will be down To...

I think you're correct. I don't know where the 72-hour thing came from, but that seems WAY too long. Yes, there will be people who are clueless and be waiting around for someone to fix everything, but most people after a few hours will either be out looting, etc., to take advantage of the situation, or be standing around talking to their neighbors in the burbs and scratching their heads. And it depends on the disaster itself. Are people able to get and cause trouble, or are roads flooded, trees down.... Depending on what goes down, I'll probably still hunker down here on the farm. Maybe I'd go to the Dollar Store for some milk, maybe not. I have powdered milk, and canned milk that would last a while. It is a great feeling of peace of mind to just say, well, I can't think of anything I need. Like this eclipse thing that has everyone in a tizzy. I'm in a 94-percent totality area, so people will probably be here (they are already I presume), but I'm all set with animal feed and everything else I need. Will I watch it? Maybe later on....but we'll just be in, I'm 'sewing for money' right at the moment until I can get out in the garden. I really don't care about an eclipse one little bit. Edited to add: We live in our own little blue zone here on the farm. :)

For every person living in the city there's about 1.2 acre of land somewhere on earth right now that is responsible for growing the food that the person eats. If all the electronics get fried, it's still fine as long as trains or trucks can get from the cornfields to the cities. If all motor vehicles are eliminated, people will need to spread out and engage in subsistence agriculture. The only apocalypse scenario where cannibalism is likely is if some plant plague wipes out most food plants, or communism gets tried again.
