Is everyone in your party capable of walking that distance, are your shtf items too much to carry, along with all the other shit you now have to leave behind?
How bad did Plan A got to sh$%^t and can you pause long enough to go to Plan B, OR are you realistically screwed just like everyone else on that road?
Should you have had better back up plans, stayed home or moved to another area with like minded folks etc, etc.
Good thread Jim.

My first plan is to bug in, as I don't want to be one of the thousands of people clogging the roads trying to get out. We can comfortably stay here without electricity and even water (etc) for well over a month. By then if we have to go many of the sheeple will have died off. About the only thing I'd have to do is dig a latrine in the back yard.

Second part of the bugout, for now, involves getting to a pre-arranged mountain location where family lives. For that we have a truck and a jeep and a winch, and can and will go offroad if need be.

We also have an alternate bugout location of a large storage unit where again we could stay quite some time if need be.

I say "for now" on the bugout as we'll soon be buying land + house or land then building on it. Once we have that, we'll be there for the long haul and not bugout at all.

Gear-wise, we have it all in one place, and can easily load it all up in a couple of hours. Haven't tried that yet, plan to whenIgetaroundtoit, but I'm sure I can get all we need loaded up.
