You just died. :)
- You should already have the guns you need. High risk effort as Mr. Gun store owner won't be friendly with you lifting his inventory.
- Hospital is a death trap as it will be full of the sick already. Knocking over a pharmacy is much better. (Or, just have the meds you need already.)
- Supermarkets are useless 12-24 hrs after the start of an 'event'. Food is spoiled and / or stolen. Death trap.
Better plan: Focus on building a team. You need the following team leads (in order of priority.)
- Sanitation tech. Critical! Clean water is critical. And, as soon as people start pooping in the yard, you all get sick and die.
- On site ops sec team lead. Weapons, watch schedules, creating and maintaining a perimeter.
- Away team lead. Someone to plan and manage supply raids. Highest risk job.
- Heavy equipment operator, supports the away team lead. (Being able to drive a school bus, semi truck, backhoe, tractor.) Must have off-road experience.
- Grease monkey. (May be an individual or a team lead.)
- Medic. (May be an individual or a team lead.)
- Warehouse and resources lead. Maintain stockpiles, distributions of resources.
- Cook lead. The kitchen must not be a free-for-all, or resources are wasted.
- Communications. Critical to know where everyone is and to listen for neighboring friend / foe.
- Housekeeping lead. Clean / dry / warm = you live another day.
To survive you need a group of 10-15. There would be overlap on the teams, but the key item is to make sure the person in charge of each team is focused on that task. If you have enough people, then you appoint a 2nd for each team in the event the primary dies or is supporting another team.

True story. Over beer one evening, some friends and I role-played this.
- We made a team from the people in the room and people we knew in the local area who could be trusted and would likely join us on short notice.
- We excluded the degenerates as they would weigh down the team and get us killed.
- We made decisions on who could join based on value vs. risk. E.g. If they were obese, they were excluded unless they had a specialized skill that could not easily be replaced.
- We assigned roles and ran scenarios based on our local area. Whiteboards, etc.
It actually worked well because we had on our team:
- An engineer with a master's degree in sanitation.
- Ex military with combat experience
- Professional truck driver
- Nurse
- Mechanic
- Guy in logistics
- etc.

Where is your scenario? City- downtown or suburb? Country ish?
Where is your scenario? City- downtown or suburb? Country ish?
Moderately rural farmland, but 1 hr from a major city.
It doesn't hurt for the scenario that my property is already ~75% off grid with a well, septic, solar panels, fruit trees, animals, etc. Nice foundation to work from.
But, that isn't a requirement for a successful scenario plan. Just levels of difficulty and survivability. (Even with a perfect setup and a perfect team, it is easy to create unsurvivable scenarios.)
