My wife thought we were “in the country” when she moved in.

I can see a hospital from my front door.

If shit hit the fan, we are definitely not “in the country” enough to not have to worry about it immediately.

Heck, if it’s zombies, we will be dealing with them before they take over the world, since they’d be wandering away from hospitals in search of flesh.

If it’s bombs, we live too close to secondary and tertiary targets to be unaffected, especially if there are storms blowing fallout up to us.

I guess there isn’t much point to my comment beyond “make sure you go really far out to where you can’t see city glows on the horizon at night.”

I actually have a small but bright orange hatchet (I spray it to help keep rust off it and also to make it super easy to spot from the other side of my campsite) I keep on my bag, mostly for Camping, but I use the same bag when I’m on my bike.

I’ve started keeping it on, and have seemingly had less people giving me shit when I’m biking through town.

When you have literally nothing else, you use what you have on hand. If there’s a woman around, chances are they might have an emergency pad tucked away somewhere.

Heck back when I was trying to be someone else, I carried a couple pads and tampons in my messenger bag in case a friend needed one. (still do, they’re just in a purse)

I believe that was their point…
