Preparation for the falling off the energy grid...over years

We peaked in oil in the 1970s, now what will happen as demand far outstrips supply? Our society is completely based on oil.

Also, the people fortified and prepared alone with their families in countryside will last only as long as they can. People growing as a team will have a better long run chance. Anyone running to the hills when it is too late will not in all likelihood be able to farm from scratch and will get picked off by those survivalists well entrenched. I don't think either group will survive as well in the long run. That is the important transition of society after the collapse of lack of oil and energy. Also, large groups farming in the countryside may do well. Everyone must be very wary of gangs and groups intent on pillaging and plundering who are armed. Be aware of vengeful groups against Americans too. How well will our military survive to help others when they may be thinking of how will they survive. Hopefully they will band as teams with farming groups. Food and water will be number one, not oil.

Currently, oil is number one at determing all policy regarding anything in the world, esp. the U.S. Study country living skills, Tom Brown, Jr. and societies that live without energy coming from petroleum or needing petroleum to sustain... Study how to gather water and keep it safe. Learn self defense skills and as much medical knowledge as you can. Store medical supplies and canned goods. As food transportation is affected by lack of energy and water transportation, we need to work as a team to preserve this based on how much we are forced off the grid.

Again, we have time to prepare for this and need to be prepared for tough survival scenarios and hopefully it will not be as hard as we think; we can be pleasantly surprised then. In the meantime until we know...prepare prepare prepare. Psychologically and physically.

I will step off the soapbox now and have a pleasant morning, enjoy everything to the fullest.
