No prob.....so you will be a lone Nomad? Or would you like to try out for membership? Oh God....my compound is starting to sound naughty...I didn't mean it that way.... didn't come out right. Maybe you could be a guard?

How many women here are without a man in a SHTF? I mean you have no husband, dad, grandpa, uncle, or guy friend that will be there for you ...if times get tough?
I ask because the way this world is headed, it could be a bumpy road ahead....I know that some of you ladies don't need or want a man...thats fine, but do you have a group or support network to help you when the chips are down?
I ask this because there seems to be a lot of guys out there that seem to be jerks and for your safety I would hope that you have someone that you can count on....
I just read lights out today and it got me thinking about women going to get items needed from the store or even if you have to go out into a unsecure area in a SHTF and what extra precautions you might need to take if your at it alone.
How many here have thought about these things or are wishing that they had a male to be that protection or rock in which you can stand in times of trouble?

While I am not single, I very well could be if the powers that be take all our men off to war, which is likely to happen if it's a WW3 event. But let's hope hubby can dodge...
I find it almost humorous how these women on here claim to be all tuff, and so like the movie-star a**-whoopin' girls in Hollywood that weigh all of about 100lbs soaking wet. Give me a break!! I am a woman on the big side, 5'11, 160lbs, study martial arts, and there is NO WAY I could win in a hand-to-hand combat with most men.
Sure I could survive, but not because I'm some Amazon, a** kicking Medusa, it would be because of my instinct to find shelter, food, and take care of my family and loved ones.
Wake up all you Lara Croft dreamers!!

I know several also that are good shots, but paper doesn't shoot back....I was going to suggest taking a self defense course or get better at shooting or knife fighting....just food for thought.
