The US Government is no longer able to help or protect its citizens. Millions are dying. In “Cities on Fire,” the Karr family survived the first week of the apocalypse, and all arrived at the family bugout location. In “Family Survival,” several members of the Karr family have been arrested as looters and sent to a FEMA camp. The rest of the Karr family fights off the hordes of starving people who are flooding out of the large cities. One of the Family members travels to the FEMA camp to rescue her Mom and son and has to fight her way there and back. To make things worse a crooked Senator and Sheriff want to take the family’s crops, weapons, and land. What would you do to survive?
