Currently constructing wood and barbed wired defensive units I can stack and deploy in little time. I've two designs. One lays flat, staked down, to hinder speedy crossing of open areas. The other is a cheval de frise laced with barbed wire. Usable to block my drive. Cheap, easy to build, stored out back of the shed until needed. Things aren't bad enough to make permanent such obstacles.
In light of the recent unpleasantness, residents of metropolitan Detroit and Chicago would be well advised to consider relocating to Michigan's Upper Peninsula. It has a low crime rate, low housing prices, and a positive demographic outlook. The culture resembles that of the American Northeast from approximately a half-century ago. In my opinion, Northerners would feel more at home here than in such other popular destinations as Florida, Texas or Idaho. If there was a true breakdown of society, note that the Upper Peninsula is separated from lower Michigan by the Mackinac Bridge, and from the urban belt of Chicagoland by an impenetrable morass of forest and cranberry bogs two hundred miles wide. If you are curious, first visit on vacation. You might be pleasantly surprised ...
Your analysis of the Western Cape is quite illuminating. Even in an unstable nation, it is worth knowing that islands of civilization can be preserved.
Absolutely, I think that is another thing worth learning from them: political concentration as in the Western Cape can be immensely useful in continued survival
No idea why, but I thought Ocean Spray was in the Northeast

Ah, very interesting

Fascinating, thanks!
I didn't know that cranberries were grown there
It's the land of Ocean Spray!
