Is Your Town Safe After TSHTF? No there is no safe after tshtf. will my town be better off than most? yes very much so. my towns pop and stat.s as of 2000. there were 564 people. the population was spread out with 27.8% under the age of 18, 6.7% from 18 to 24, 27.8% from 25 to 44, 22.7% from 45 to 64, and 14.9% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 36 years. For every 100 females there were 95.2 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 95.7 males. This town is a set in a rural farming area and every one knows everyone. other than one gravel road there are only 3 roads into town. theres fishing,hunting and gathering that can be done nearby "less than 2 miles away". the closest towns pop is 845 people and it is 15 miles away .we any one who lives here can ask for help from most anyone else in town. how ever there would be a quick house cleanning of say 25 or so people from town "tweekers". this is where my bug-in local is and my Neighbor is a convert to survivalism "didn't take much talkin to join the team" and he is planning on bugn-in as well so all in all we should be fine
