They might just camp-out by a livestock farm.
Plenty of pig, beef, dairy, chicken farms surrounding most cities.
Some with pastures, or large feed-storage silos, might be able to continue supplying food for a few weeks, or more.
When you think about it: these farms already supply the city.
As starving/surviving folks from a city go-out of town, they won't all go in the same direction.
Perhaps they could find a good and relatively lasting food-source on these farms, but then the major problems would be shelter, clean water and
sanitation.
Hog and chicken production facilities have to feed every animal, every day, and give water as well. When the power goes out, so does their feed mill
and well. Those 4,000 pigs, those 10,000 chickens, will be starving on day one; worse than the humans, who aren't locked up in cages.
They will be a great (short term) source of protein.
Do you really think the locals, who are used to epidemic theft in rural areas caused by illegals on their way to the city, are going to sit down and
wait for your "team" to arrive? You think the crackers who live next door to "Corporate Mills Chicken factory" are going to listen to all that
squawking and not take a few home to farm for themselves?
Look, you know how fierce you are, how clever you are, how dedicated to winning you are.
So is the other guy.
It's his neighborhood. Maybe even HIS job or HIS farm. And I garan-damn-tee you he has a gun collection that is his main source of Saturday
entertainment. He never goes to a gun range. He and some friends go down to the old quarry by that bend in the river. Every Saturday, from June
through November's start of hunting season.
He knows all the neighbors. Maybe even has some horses. He knows the sheriff. He may BE the sheriff.
Do you think he's going to stand by and watch you camp on his land, and crap in his creek, build a fire on his property and set half the woods on fire
in the process?
I hope your tents are bullet-proof.
