My ideal is that nothing happens. My stored food goes to waste, I never use my firearm in self defense, and my entire family never suffers from a plague, a war, or any other manmade or natural disaster. If I can't have that, then next best is that God somehow let's me know what is coming, I move to some other side of the planet where I won't be affected, and I have my funds waiting for me there in a bank account. I don't really have much desire to live like someone below the poverty line, canning my own food, carrying water from a stream, living in a little shack in the middle of nowhere. I understand the appeal of living like that, but it would get old for me after a couple months. It seems to me that a lot of folks on this forum yearn for that lifestyle. There is really nothing stopping you. There may be enough remote land in the Rocky Mountains where you could disappear and live the simple life. You don't need any money to live that life.
