manpower is crucial for us as a couple hundred has to expand
We'll get more guys yes, but it will be an ongoing effort to expand
i would say keep them hidden on over watch of critical points of infrastructure such as water filtration and roads
Yeah that would be the best
snipers are great
sniper tanks are better
We're only just getting started with the land though, so this is all in the future
true
For now the best investment we can do is in power, water, food, and shelter
you know tbh i have never met a single person who has 2 braincells to rub together in terms on conversations like this in real life
tbh that's where most of your spending should go
because if you need to use the damn thing then you are in a shit show
Yeah
idealy I want to never use my guns
Its like you said
i would want to hunt with them but spilling blood always comes back to bite you sooner or later
Well I mean in defense it makes sense. I just mean I hope we are able to maintain peace
Cooperation in a disaster is the most important thing
You want to avoid war if possible
yep
the only thing im iffy about with big groups is that in stressful situations with heavily armed men those men seem to always want to "take over" a city
and when you do that.
it never goes well
Thats the thing about systems. The better the system the better the community
And along with that, the less people want to steal from each other and shit
true but every system has to enforce laws witch then pisses off some groups
Thats another thing, we want to have people be so dependent that they don't war
Division of labor and a local economy helps with that
true
We'll be setting up a machine shop and we're working on powering it too. That will be great for the local area
If people can buy and sell goods then they have no need to steal them
To be clear, I'm no expert, and I'm sure there will be fighting. You are entirely correct. We're just trying to find ways to avoid that
i think one thing you should think about is trading with the near by towns in a shtf situation after all a local economy is great but shutting yourself off from the outside completely is a good way to create animosity
the smart prepare for the fight, but also to avoid it as much as possible
I kind of mean that by local economy. We're doing the opposite of shutting ourselves off
We're trying to be the people everyone goes to when they need stuff so that way we can become an economic benefactor
thats what i would do
but i'll more then likely be that asshole who goes through the forests solo lmao
depends on the timeframe
Its possible to do
But its not easy
