North America After the Collapse

Assuming 300,000,000 people in the U.S. and Canada, and that 5% of those people can make it to, or are already in, the Rockies (etc.), that gives these areas a post-Collapse population density of approximately 30 people per square mile, or about 20 acres apiece, back-to-back. (your neighbor will be able to hit your house with a thrown rock from their front porch) So, you are saying that after the collapse, my neighbors biceps are going to mutate into such freakishly large proportions that they will be able to throw rocks 20 acres? Can you say.....trebuchet....? That would do the job quite nicely. Quite low tech to boot! |
