Living on the outskirts of Springfield has got me thinking about my ability to get out of an urban area and to my safehouse in the hills which lies 75 miles north east.
Unfortunatly hunkering down in a apartment complex is not the ideal situation for surviving a SHTF situation. Aside from difficulty of security and extremely close and un prepared neighbors I cannot store more than 2 months of food/water due to space issues.
Ideally I would try to forsee some warning of disaster and get to my BOL ahead of the incident and initial panic. Unfortunatly this is not always the case.
What are the benifits and risks to traveling immediatly after panic ensues, what about two, three weeks after the initial panic?
Is it more dangerous to move within the first day of panic while violence is not as prevalent or wait until things die down and travel then, although those people 3 weeks after meltdown would often be more prone to have the "Me or Him" mindset. Which would be more dangerous?
How long will it take for highways to become clogged, random acts of violence to occur, and general not safe to go outside situations to onset?
of course these figures change from incident to incident but what do YOU think will happen in these circumstances?
- Invasion of a foreign army
- Drastic financial collapse
- Massive disease outbreak
- Large earthquakes
- Hurricane / Severe weather - Hot/Cold
Lets hear what you guys think! i am specifically looking for comments on best ways to travel post incident and best times to travel post incident(Day/Night, Vehicle/on foot, immediatly after/ delayed bug out)
thanks for reading! looking forward to hearing some opinions from other preparedness minded people!
