i also agree that someone in Amateur Radio would be a good friend to have.

We enjoy your posts. But i dont think that you should count on anyone here being a contact, if things really do go wrong. Later, when people are in recovery mode, ETS can link up again.

Your best support is local. Get good working relationships going with ... 1. People who grow vege's and raise livestock, 2. Someone who fixes cars, 3. A nurse or a paramedic, 4. Someone who works with tools or in construction, 5. A dentist, 6. An ex-soldier who has some rifles and handguns.

Those types of things will save you.

Good luck!!
