It would be interesting to see what the modern equivalent of the Dark Ages 
looks like in a country so unprepared for anything but pampered idleness. 
And you're right;  there IS a big difference between the 'bug out' 
preparedness and the self-sufficiency preparedness. I'd like to see the 
survivalists plant their can of beans or MREs to grow next year's food 
supply.
