Yep, in my region in history, the flatboats traveled one direction with the current downstream to land at a point in the river and then was broken down along with the supplies to partially construct a shelter. The keelboats were actual boats going both ways on the river so used sails and oars and poles and ropes to go back upstream. And so they carried trade items both ways. Then crew were called river rats.

So then eventually river pirates would rob both flatboats and keelboats. Life is never easy. But then if caught a gruesome end without a trial with heads on pikes.

If you look at that map, a huge concentration live in New England states. If you tried to head west or south, you would be liable to get stuck in a terrible traffic jam. But if you headed to Maine, the population density gets lower the further north you go. It might be your best option. Consider the White Mountains in New Hampshire as a secondary option.

In the event of a nuclear attack, you want to take potassium iodide as this is taken up by your thyroid. Otherwise one of the radioactive isotopes will be absorbed instead. If you can't find that seaweed is very high in iodide and will do the same thing. For example nori is a kind of seaweed you can buy in flat black sheets. Kelp also is in capsule form.

A variety of radioactive isotopes are released like cesium and strontium. Strontium affects milk products and long term causes bone cancer. Cesium causes lung cancer.

There's not much you can do but avoid milk but take calcium. If the thyroid goes, as has happened in history with nuclear issues at Hiroshima, Nagasaki, or Chernobyl, then the body is unable to regulate metabolism. The patient ends up with severe issues controlling body temperature, flushed, gets very nervous, agitated, etc. Ultimately then later as the thyroid is failing extremely hypothyroid and sluggish, always cold, chills, malaise, skin issues, etc.

This happens in old age and those people take synthroid.

This is not good folks. This is awful fishy and might be a cyber attack. Compare this with the population density map. 50% are without information through cable tv, telephone, internet, etc.

Note that during Solidarity days in Poland, they used fax machines to send information to bypass the USSR's control. Take that for what it is worth. Should things be restored, but crippled and you need information, then a friend can fax you a lot of information that you have in your hand versus a phone call that might not go through.

Russian TV Talks Judgement Day And The Underground World As Former Russian General Warns If Russian Blood Is Spilled In Syria, Russia Will Retaliate
Back in the early eighties, the USSR developed a nuclear deterrent system called "Dead Hand". It's a dead man's switch in the event of their command structure being wiped out by a nuclear salvo. In that event,protected computers override human operators and the computer fires off MIRV ICBMs. Mirv technology has multiple warheads in each intercontinental ballistic missile. Some are fake and some are not and these all fire and some get through whatever countermeasures we have. And since computerized through Dead Hand, there is no stopping it.

Well a Russian general is reiterating that they would use that as a safeguard. You see their conventional forces are a fraction of what the USSR had. So earlier a Russian general stated that the military more inclined to use their nuclear arsenal since they have less capability to defend themselves and make attacks.

For years farmers and pet owners have been able to get antibiotics for livestock and pets through farmer supply stores and petfood stores. These are very similar to standard antibiotics. If you had to bugout and you had some of these, then they would be an invaluable trade resource and many rural communities might admit your family because you would be bringing in critically needed supplies. It's worth thinking about that as a strategy if you have to leave due to living in an urban zone.

A lot of Americans have stackable plastic bins in which they store seasonal items like Christmas decorations. They hold a lot.

If you had to suddenly store water, you would clean these out, but they are not intended for that much weight. So you couldn't stack them but they would hold the water...and in a clean sanitary way.

Cruise missiles were launched against Syrian assets...most likely with Russian casualties. It's likely that Russian ships will target US ships that launched the cruise missiles.

Putin tested a new satellite killer today. It's possible a vital navigation of communication satellite would be targeted.

If you type in a website and it doesn't go through then DNS lookup servers were targeted. In such a case if you know the IP address for a site then you still might be able to get through. It is highly likely in wartime to limit communication as loose lips sink ships.

US, UK and France Have ATTACKED SYRIA

The rumor is we are now at DEFCON 2. Please prayerfully consider having supplies, food, and water. If things get hairy and you live in an urban area, then it might be wisdom to relocate to a rural region with family members.
DEFCON - Wikipedia
"
DEFCON 1 COCKED PISTOL Nuclear war is imminent Maximum readiness
DEFCON 2 FAST PACE Next step to nuclear war Armed Forces ready to deploy and engage in less than 6 hours
DEFCON 3 ROUND HOUSE Increase in force readiness above that required for normal readiness Air Force ready to mobilize in 15 minutes
This level of alert exceeds the Cuban Missile Crisis given all of the world players.
