Quote from Random.Capital:
The odds are that you, along with your well-ammoed brother, are going to be dead. A collapse of that magnitude will, with certainty, lead to mass starvation, which in turn will lead to population collapse.
I live in MN, there is tons of food here, fish, game, nice soil. I'm fine unless there is nuclear fallout. There are places in Minnesota where you wouldn't even know other humans exist. I don't really care about what the masses are doing on the coasts or major cities. They can loot each other and kill each other all they want.
