Hello Molly I live very near you on Long Island, though slightly more deeper in the woods than you but not by very much. I understand your position though I hope it is not in the tenth floor of the Plaza Hotel you have in your picture 🙂 Nice place but not a place you want to be in a sudden collapse of civilization. I am someone who is also familiar with asphalt and sewer gas as opposed to cow manure and trying to think of ways to survive if it all goes under. That is why I was on Selco’s site because of his real experiences surviving a SHTF situation in a city where food and water were cut off. My recommendation if you can though you may not be able to do this is to try to live in the Bronx section of NYC for at least it is on the mainland so you do not have to try to leave though bridges and tunnels. I must admit though the Bronx just don’t have that cosmopolitian Manhattan vibe. I been looking at Coast Guard maps to see where the water is less deep so one can get off LI if need be though I do have other plans for staying on LI for it is an island bigger than New Hampshire or other states and it does have some wild woods. Maybe one day I will get to the mainland but I admit I am sucked in a bit by New Babylon. I just want to remind people here that New Yorkers are as human as everyone else and some of us don’t want to be caught flatfooted either and no we are not all PC slogan pitching SJW’s. I wish you good luck and if you wish we can try to discuss survival and the Big Apple more.
