The Golden Horde
The golden horde theory has been portrayed for years by survival authors, bloggers and fiction writers, but will the golden horde of hopeless refugees swarm like hundreds of thousands of locust from the cities to the countryside after an economic collapse?
No they won’t, not after an economic collapse anyways, in fact, I look for the opposite to happen, with hordes of people packing it up and leaving rural areas for the cities to look for work (when things settle down and after the initial riots that will occur in some areas). Recent examples of this happening after an economic collapse; include present day Greece, Argentina 1998–2002, the former USSR in the 1990s, New Zealand in the 1980’s and the U.S. Great Depression of the 1930’s.
In fact, I don’t see the “golden horde” heading toward the countryside at all unless the disaster is localized to the urban area that they are fleeing from such as after Katrina. Most of the supposed “hordes” will die (or be killed) in place waiting on the government to come in and rescue them before they would head out for the countryside.
I do know that any and all government resources will be put toward helping urban areas after such an event. As I’ve said before an economic collapse does not mean a government collapse – those in power will only tighten the screws and take from you to redistribute to the cities…
Common sense will be lacking during a crisis so you want to be the one who has it. Continue onto the next page to see if you might, without knowing it, have fallen into a prepper trap you did not realize was there.

This prepper “trap” is a common belief that most everyone believes but it's best to think twice about this idea before it's too late!

You should always be ready at drop of hat type sernerio..
So some unspecified “survival expert” is telling us to not listen to other “survival experts”? Interesting.
That’s great,most survival experts are morons.
it depends on the circumstance its best to be prepared to do either bug out or bug in to limit yourself is not prepared
I caught that also. Seems like it was a play down tact
Someone told me “make your plan. Use your plan” so despite people telling thisbn that everyrthing i tell others is of knowledge i have learned. A good amount i did on my own. Some i read up on and it made sense.
Applying common sense and war gaming possible scenarios would be my though process.
How about less click bait then. I’ve grown tired of having to wait for the ads to generate before I click next on your pages.
Yeah, but also notice that it didn’t mention that most plans of government are that if the “governmental breakdown” occurs, their are talking about the federal government, in which case, a form of regional martial law occurs with the same leaders (those still alive) in command.
Just so long as there is communication available (always was a top priority because people like yo know what is going on.
more ready than I can handle!
