So I've been having the same feeling as many on this board - that something is likely to go very wrong in the not very far future. Feel like I'm being pulled towards that wilderness survival schtick and getting my own farm. Well as you can imagine - this is very expensive to bug out. I haven't found anything liveable for my family of 5 for less than around $150k and then I'm on my own on my farm - frankly I'm not the best guy to protect the family from murderous marauders who want what I have. I think even if a couple more folks join me, I'll be better off, but who knows. And I would need to quit my high paying job to move out to the boondocks and farm - and eventually I'll run out of money.
So I found this operation......

IIn summary - for around $50k I can secure a luxury spot for 5 years for my family. Safety in numbers. Food. Weapons. Ammo. Professional asskickers on staff. What more could I ask for?
And I can vacation there a couple of times per year so the kids can learn to ride horses and shit.

So GLPers - I come to you to convince me that this is either a great or horrible idea and why.
Thank you in advance you marvelous crazy family.
The worst Idea is to try to rely on some one else during SHTF. If you can't survive by yourself or with your family, you probably won't survive.
That said, what guarantee do you have that they will let you into their community during SHTF.
You sound like a useless eater. No SHTF skills. So why would a community like that want to keep you around?
Once you run out of food, they will not want to care for you and your family and if you have no SHTF skills to trade, you will be kicked out.
If they don't let you in or kick you out later on:. Who is going to stop them? No courts, No law, So Who?.
They can take your money now and block you out later on. once SHTF starts, ( overselling available spots is common in a lot of businesses).
Then there is the distance factor, what makes you think you will be able to get there, after you finally decide to bug out?
You sound totally unprepared and not willing to put the time and effort in that will be require to ensure survival, with or without their help.
