Thats one of my college text books. I kid you not.

Teaches you how to ID wood based on grain patterns, vessel characters, color, texture, etc.

Mostly it will be the big citys burning, I will take my chances 150 miles into the woods

      I wonder how you'd get your ammo and guns and supplies 150 miles into some woods.  It's not like that kind of terrain exists just
anywhere.  If the big cities burn, the smaller towns won't stay Mayberry RFD for long.

A successful plan for a "doomsday" scenario should never include the phrase "all you really need is."

$50 bucks says I out last you, even with your fancy bunker.


Really, you don't need some fancy bunker. Back in idaho, I built an native-american earth-lodge for the fun of it. It was really quite cozy even in winter with a fire going. It would also be harder to spot from the air than your big-arsed concrete bunker.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

Agreed, Curry. And thats assuming anyone is stupid enough to actually attempt an invasion of the USA without most of Europe, or Russia and China on their side.

Like Russia, and china to a slightly lesser extent, the USA is large enough that a ground war would come down to the destruction of military forces, not the capture of territory. Production is too widely dispersed to make viable targets for an offensive, and worst case scenario, we can strip everything else bare, and concentrate AA defenses around the most important targets.

And in addition to that, we have some formidable natural barriers, particularly in the west. I live in the cascade mountain range, and I wouldn't care to try pushing armor through some of these hills. And logistics..... *shudder*.

You forget the Rednecks and Tornadoes. Other countries may have them, but not on the scale we do.

China is building entire cities,  mostly still empty 100s of miles away from shoreline and  logic populated industrial ,economic centers; 4000 ft above sea level, deep in desert but close to fresh water . I've read this apartments and houses are sold mostly to world rich elite / preppers and kept as safe retreat for a doomsday event.BS or not, i don't know.

What are most houses made of ? ?  Wood. So could a handful of incindeary bombs wipe out are most populated citys? I think so, so part of my doomsday plan is to leave the city and go deep deep in the woods.. All you really need is guns, ammo, some medicine, water purify system, and hunting and fishing knowledge.. Dig your self a vietcong style dirt and wood bunker and learn the terrain.. 1 man army is not just a saying, 1 man could rain hail upon a small army.... If you know how.

This is wrong on so many levels.

Lol, yeah. They'd have everybody with a gun AND his grandmother taking pot shots at them from the trees.

If infrastructure is ever hit so hard it collapses there will be a huge die-off ..like watchin a house of cards fall.

One Second After is a good read on what a small town would go thru.
That book uses the EMP pulse strike as the deed that brings down the USA.
.. FYI EMP is nowhere near as effective as the book portrays.
(part of 'electronic countermeasures' is knowing how EMP works and how to prevent it)

Lucifer's Hammer is another good read ..altho tailored more to a world event.

It would boil down to water-food-shelter in a hurry.
I would not want to live in that world.
