When Cities Fall, They Fall Fast — Here’s What You Need to Know
Just shared a new video in the community, and honestly, this is one that every urban and suburban prepper should watch. In every major collapse throughout history, cities are the first to fail — and they fail fast. Not over weeks… sometimes within minutes.
This video breaks down exactly why:
Population density turns desperation into chaos
Food, water, and power in cities rely 100% on trucking and tech
Police, hospitals, and EMS get overwhelmed almost instantly
Digital systems (ATMs, traffic lights, cell towers, transit) shut down the moment the grid or internet fails
Looting and panic spread long before any help arrives
Whether it’s an EMP, cyber attack, grid failure, or even something as simple as blocked highways after a disaster — once the flow of supplies stops, the collapse hits fast and hard.
If You Live in the City (or Suburbs), This Part Is for You
The video gives solid, practical advice:
If you can leave safely:
Have a destination, alternate routes, extra fuel, and cash. Highways will clog immediately.
If you can’t leave:
You need to be ready for the long haul:
Water (1–2 gallons per person per day)
Pre-made canned foods that don’t require cooking
Sanitation supplies
Blackout curtains
Ways to defend and barricade your home
Ways to blend in (grey man tactics)
A plan to stay hidden, quiet, and off the radar
This is real-world prepping, not fantasy. It’s the stuff that actually determines who makes it through those first chaotic weeks.
Give the video a watch when you can.
It’s long, but it’s extremely eye-opening — especially if you’re in an apartment or close to a high-density area.
What about you?
Do you live in the city or suburbs, and what steps are you taking to prep for this kind of scenario? Let’s talk about it.
