Alright, alright
Years worth of supplies, set up shop with imprintable fortress and a 20 foot moat.
Raid enemy territory and use the scorched Earth policy, make sure those frickers can't rebuild

I was wondering where you were. Been missing your threads

That's what the Spanish thought.

Well, if it's catastrophic enough to the point where we have to flee civilization, I'm sure we'll be taking our guns and leaving Atlanta in large packs, looting and taking what we can find along the way.
Eventually we'll find someplace nice enough to settle down. Who knows? We might even stumble upon your neck of the woods. If we like what we see, we'll take it. Probably make a servant out of you if you turn out to actually have some useful talent. If not, you'll be dead in a ditch while we move on to the next area.

How much gas do you have in your Prius??
ATL would devour itself.
Good Luck, Erkel.

You can't eat money.
Maybe wipe your arse with it.
But you cant eat it.
It's not an antibacterial swab.
It's doesn't burn well.
Maybe strip it into fibers for fletching.
But this all assumes that some bimbo in a brick facade will hand you these pieces of paper when you present your own paper identity.

better be more worried about an EMP attack... you won't even be able to get in your car to go somewhere. Not that there'd be any place to go at that point.

Out of curiosity...why do you all think an apcalyptic event would hit the cities first and not suburban areas? Is it because that is what TV and movies portray? I would think it just as likely to hit suburbia as a large city. While the population centers are much bigger in the cities it would probably spread just as fast in the outlying areas.

You're more tightly packed in an urban setting.

True...but the even could be initiated anywhere and not necessarily in an urban setting. I mean, I'm not exactly sure what type of apocalyptic event Jefferson anticipates...but, since Zombies and the Walking Dead seems to be the popular event of today let's use that. On the show they don't say how it began. A virus, maybe? Who says the virus or whatever else starts this event doesn't break out in suburbia? If we are talking about a fallout from say a nuclear event, I would think that The US has placed our nuclear silos out an away from population centers.
It is popular on TV and movies to portray large city centers simply because it would affect more people quickly. IRL, however, viruses would not necessarily act like we would think. I mean, they think patient zero of the AIDS virus was an Air Canada flight attendant that was gay. As gays make up approximately 8-10% of our population you wouldn't think it would attack a gay man in Canada. It's just as likely an apocalyptic event would/could attack in suburbia as a city.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think it is going to happen at all....but just trying to reason the city phobia some have on this board. I don't much care for large cities either, but find it just as short sighted to think an event has to break out in a large city. Ebola did not break out in a large population center. AIDS did not break out in a large population center. The Black Death,or Plague originated in the plains of central Asia, not a major population center. Just as many if not more pandemics and killing viruses originated in sparsely populated areas before spreading to high population areas.

Seems to me that mega cities are inherently dependent upon an infrastructure that must stay intact or the cities become hell holes in a rapidly short period of time.
Just one minor example: water supply. Mega cities are dependent on a centrally controlled water supply that handles everything from filtration to transportation to millions. That goes down and some will be close enough to the central source or other minor sources to get regular water - but the vast majority will go without. This would cause hoarding, fighting, riots, etc., within a week on a grand scale involving hundreds of thousands of desperate people.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, a few families living near a decent water source (even a small but steady stream) would have much less trouble gathering, filtering, transporting water supply for the much smaller group, etc.
This example plays out again and again in just about every disaster scenario you can think of. If the shite really hits the fan, I want to be as far away from New York, Miami, Detroit, Los Angeles, Chicago, and yes, Atlanta, as I can.

There's no need to put silos in cities. No room and prevents losing them on potential urban attacks. Most are in the Midwest in the middle of nowhere
And Kings Bay is sub based Trident nukes

It's not rocket science.....
Humans need water, food, and shelter to survive. In over- populated areas, with an extended widespread power outage, these necessary commodities will become scarce.
So......What happens when 6 million "neighbors" living on top of each other in what is basically a barren concrete ant colony realize that the basic necessities of Life are in short supply?
Hint: it will not be pleasant.
