I know what you're saying. What I'm getting at is that a lone individual with the proper know-how can travel light and fast, E/E well, and self-sustain without much trouble.
Once you get away from the main travel routes, which is pretty easy on foot (ditch the car on 258, hump a few miles away perpendicular to the highway and then get back on your bearing) and avoid the paths of least resistance when possible, I imagine human contact would be few and far between and easily avoided if you can spot them first.
Your average idiot in this day and age will not have much experience on land nav, surviving off the land, etc. and most likely wouldn't last long. Every other dummy might go out and try to do the same thing, but I doubt many will actually be successful.
