    I'm retired and, therefore, useless to a communist utopia. I'm sure there is a RR box car with a list with my name on it and a one way trip to whatever destination. My only option is run and hide.

        Hmmm. With careful execution, that might work. Used to race sailboats on Lake Ontario.

              You all got me thinking. Instead of dropping $300k-$400k on a shack outside the city, maybe a nicely accoutered sailboat would be a better bet. When the city starts to burn, set off to the blue and leave it all behind. That's where Dino comes in. Ragnar Danneskjold needed a place to come ashore from time to time so we'll have to set up a secret cove where Dino hides out and keeps an eye on stuff.

                From personal experience: a boat is a hole in the water that you pour money into. That shack will start to sound cheap.

                  That is one reason I don't own one now. My sailing experience is also limited to crewing on various sized boats over several seasons in my younger days (late 20s to early 30s). It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot, including the hole in the water adage. Your advice is well considered. Still, as a Galt get away if things go bad in the city I live near, it is a possibility worth considering.

                    I thought about that for a long time, but realize that out on the water you're totally exposed to any government, cartel, militant group, pirate or redneck who sees you and decides to screw with you. Unless you're in local territorial waters or have a lot of money, you will be woefully under-armed, unless you take the chances of confiscation & prison anytime you run into any government's coast guard that wants you to heave to while they pillage - er - inspect your vehicle. As much as I like the freedom of the water, that freedom is only there if the governments out there behave themselves and keep order, or you have enough armament and weapons to scare off or sink anyone who feels like screwing you. It was like that for a while after WWII, I don't expect to see it again.
                    I've decided to set up shop on dry land, somewhere reasonably safe where I can hunt, garden, keep a low profile and meet intruders with force if they cross the barbed wire.

                I think Jean Lafitte used the Gulf Coast, Boliver Peninsula at Galveston. The Intracoastal Canal is very easy to navigate your yacht. My friends who own the Marguerita (37 foot Hunter) use it all the time and we frequent the seafood restaurants coming in on the canal side! N

                Keeping an eye on other people's stuff is right up my alley. Between 1982 and 2003 me dino was a state corrections officer (or what prison guards are taught to call themselves). Do you know prison guards protect inmates and their stuff from each other? Protected more important stuff when assigned to towers, such as the public.
                Between 2003 and 2013 I was off and on a full time and part time a security guard for four different company and one hired me back. When I heard someone was paying more I kinda drifted their way. I guarded banks, businesses of all types. Second best $$$ was a Mercedes plant and the best $$$ was protecting a Wachovia data center. Then type 2 diabetes started to make my flat feet get worse and now I'm fully retired. Some jobs I had let me sit down. Hint, hint! Me dino can still shoot straight too.

                Under 60k gets you a boat for all conditions. Many I know "summer" The Great Lakes and "winter" coastal or islands. Inland waterway or St Lawrence for transit. Sailors are overlooked because we are so slow. 2 boats different locations and hitch ride for transit is pretty cheap also.
                In all my Caribbean "hopping" I checked in at each port...customs. Only one I did not see a way to get past was Anguilla. British military post was very observant. All the others are easily compromised for just a provisioning trip.

                Then I thought: hire Disney to design the cove.

                I have been looking at sailboats for a while, but only as a way to retreat when necessary. There has to be a safe 'cove' as a destination.
                I'm not Ragnar. Can't afford a submersible capable of blockade running.

                  A friend of mine picked up an Endeavor 42 in George Town, Bahamas, around 150 mile SSE of Nassau. 25K. All it needed was the chain plates repaired. About 1K.
                  If I were him I'd be looking to Nova Scotia for summer and the Carolina waterways in winter...or The Great Lakes. Easy to get away from scrutiny.

                    An Endeavor 42 was used in the series "Miami Vice" as Sonny Burnett's hide away boat (complete with watch gator "Elvis"). Beautiful boat. I read an article on it a couple of years ago. Apparently it was damaged and neglected and was picked up for about $30K, refurbished, and can now be rented by a charter service in Florida. That would be a perfect go Galt boat.

                      John's find has the toughest bridgework I've ever seen. 2" stainless round for the bimini, davit support, crane, electronics mounting. Make the investment up front on gel cell batteries, and 3 types of electric generation, desalination and away you go.

                      I prefer something in the mid-thirties for lengths. Easier to handle short-handed. I really screwed up 2 years ago in not purchasing a Sea Sprite 33. Sold for 50K with, best estimate on time/materials restoration of 170K. Panache was the name.....Oh it fit so well.

                      Challenge is up for sale last I heard. Chicago/Mac 2018 winner. She's sitting in Manitowoc.
                      That is...if you want to do the maintenance on an aluminum hull...yikes.

    I'm an engineer. I can design aircraft that can be used to strafe pro-capitalist demonstrators. Hell...I'm a pilot so I can fly them too. I also work in infection control so they'll probably have to kill me...

    I would have to work where they assign me or starve. I might have trouble being very efficient though (remember the hinge assembler in Spielberg's holocaust picture). I would have to make the gauleiters feel sorry for me

    I am 80, in good health and most people think I am in my 60's so I am figuring to go out with a few commie scalps tied to my belt. The build up of anger as I watch our rapid slide will be useful as I play random sniper until they take me out.
