My BugOut

sheesh

Horse back? PM me, not so simple, stock gotta eat. Bicycle, how much gear? Oh, a trailer Ultralite? How about a hang glider with a lawn mower/prop on it? Walk w/o resupply, tan hides for shoes and hunt/trap/gather? Caches en route? People to help ya? ON YOUR OWN???? Need a group, one cannot survive on one's own. Forget the novels, the fiction, post shtf only a group will survive. OK I did post that I can get home 900-1200 miles but I have resupply caches and people on the way, I also practice practice PRACTICE my skills in many different climates and areas. This is what I do for 'fun'. Fuel, food, H2O, Durable goods, ammo, night watch, injuries. Basicly forget it unless you prepare massively in advance. INMnotsoHO snowbyrd

 

Nothing wrong with brainstorming , two bad ideas can combine to tcreate a workable solutionor trigger a third... .We've already told tailor2,000mi seemed pretty much undoable depending entirely on scenario and time.

 

not

not undoable just would take a lot of preps. Supply points every...OH... 50 miles. Bury some 5 gal plastic buckets with what ever you need. Water would be a prob, I have personaly buryed alot of H2O along I10 I15, ect. I have traveled alot in the last uh, many yrs. The key is PREPaRATION. Stableize some gas and cache it, I don't know the $ that others have but maybe a storage unit here and there. snowbyrd

 

I do agree with the last couple of postsand if I didnt make it clear earlier, my sugestions were simply based on an assumption that IF someone was going to try it that they might be better options than just grabbing a pack and heading out on foot.

The only way I could see it haveing any decent likely hood of a 'happy ending' would be maybe if it were a regional problem where the distance to a 'normal' situation would be MUCH shorter, like say just to get out of Cali.

 

I'm working on that right now. I am working to go back home. I do not see that this would be a great place to hold in place as I'm sure it will be every liberal for itself. I'd hate to be caught out in the open after a SHTF situation with so much as a rice cake. And in certain scenarios SF gets it, so that's not encouraging. I am just hanging in until such time as it is feasible to move out. I am preparing as I can. I have enough food now to handle me for two weeks and water is obtainable.

I am going to get me a BOB ready just in case I have to hoof it to some other place. I will be heading north in any emergency event as I do not want to even think of trying to get through Oakland if everything goes to pot. I am thinking maybe I can get a 'pocket bike' with a small trailer and that will do for transportation. I could look into turning it into a solar powered contraption that will do as long as the sun shines.

I am working on a map for my route and I am avoiding the desert as much as I can. Though from here it is either desert or mountains. And I only have family in AL. I don't have a home or anything else there. Here, all I have is my small room and no family. As far as family goes, you guys and gals are as close to family as I have.

I don't want to picture it, though I can foresee that I would make the long trip only to find my family as a pile of dust in a smoking crater. They live just outside of Mobile AL which is also a 'suggested' target as it's a port city.

I guess in the end, all I can do is prepare for the bad, hope for the best and live day to day. I don't have a homestead and currently my skills don't allow for much bartering to feed myself. The idea of being a lone traveller on a dangerous road doesn't appeal much to me though it would be all that I have.

If I got home and found it a smoking hole, I would still have to come up with a plan on what to do. I am hoping it holds together until such time as I can set up a home for myself though I am not holding my breath. It's a crazy scenario to think of though I do think of it daily. The big 'what if'.

It will come to me and I will just keep myself open to what I am steered to do. It's all I can do.

 

Yeah out there the rice cake would definatly get you mobbed, maybe if you have a big chunk of meat though they will just shun you because it isnt granola. lol

 

Clip lambchops to my lapel and they may leave me be. Haha. I can do my best 'Ooooh, beware the lambchop' voice while easing out of town. Haha.
