Through a round about path I ended up having a chat with a German survivalist.
Upper middle classs guy from the north of the country.
Very interesting conversation about his survival strategy - and the rise of German nationalism but that’s a seperate thread!!
He is acutely aware of the population density and all that entails.
He has converted his basement to a shelter with a very hidden entry - decked it out with food / water / sewerage / light and plans to literally go underground for 6-9 months to allow the population to thin - his view was that it simply isn’t possible to survive a collapse with that many people out in the open and there is no where to hide.
He even has a contingency plan of burning his house down over his shelter if the local situation was especially dire as a means of camouflage and has built his shelter accordingly.
I don’t think we truly appreciate in the antipodes the risk of the shear volume of people in Europe. You want get a population collapse in a population dense area without a lot of noise.
Not sure I could do long term shelter living, but interesting chat.
