How Much Food is in an Urban US Armory?

Searching stuff and looting will be in the future a big problem. Not because people don´t know how to break in facilities, but the don´t know were the facilities ARE.

In a time 20 years ago nobody had a cell phone or smart phone as it´s called today, with the nice apps for finding the store, doctor whatsoever you need and the best way to get there, may it be bus, car train, plane, by foot ... . And with the grid down and your smart phones becoming useless doorstoppers?

Look around in your home, do you have a map of your area? A list on paper of shops and services in any form?

20 years ago you would go to the next telephone box look into the wristthick yellow pages and find the adress of every last one, maybe even in a wider area than just your county or city. Than you just needed to go to the next abandoned car and search for a roadmap, most car owners had a set of maps from local to nationwide inside.

Nowadays, if you need something that isn´t obviously visible to the naked eye, even companys and warehouses often look the same from outside. Dynamic tech solutions can be everything from high class military gear to clothes with LEDs, to computers and everything in between.

You MAY find a yellow pages somewhere in a old ladys home outdated by years, and a map in the same condition somewhere, but in earlier times there where millions of that stuff produced and distributed. Today it´s only for folks being a bit out of date with modern times. Reducing the chance to find it easily.

Before you can loot, getting a solid guess where and what will be a task in itself.
