[TheList] MED newsletter

I have some friends that live within a couple of days walking from here 
that have their own hydro power station (not a little one either, think 
dam, penstocks, powerhouse, supplying more than one house, not grid 
tied). Their remote site is on top of a peak with 360° views and their 
paddocks largely back onto native bush. It's not unusual for them to be 
able to shoot a pig/deer, basically from their breakfast table, after it 
wanders out of the bush onto their paddocks.

Likewise they have a good view of anyone approaching and if they were so 
inclined (which they aren't) you wouldn't get close.

Sadly no signs of night vision, automatic weapons, hoards of ammo, 
stashes of tinned food etc.

I think in the scenario described by Vaughan I think you might just meet 
an untimely end in vain if you did try to raid their non existent stash.

Unfortunately CB is one of those things that will be of use post a 
global communications network collapse.

I of course own other equipment capable of operation on that frequency 
range should I need it in an emergency.
