If something bad happens this city will burn within 48 hours, all cities within a week. There will be a mass exodus into the suburbs and surrounding areas. Without having a hardened target with large security force staying in place will not be an option for long if you are even remotely close to a city.

As it stands my plan is to grab my go bag at the first sign of trouble and get out before panic sets in. I won't even bother trying to drive, I will go on foot. I will follow the train tracks from my city up to the mountains, this will keep me off roads and largely away from people. I will only move at night until I get out of population centers which I can do in 48 hours. I will be out of the city in 20 minutes of leaving. I will try to find an unoccupied secluded cabin or dwelling up in the mountains. There are a lot of such places and chances are the owners will never make it to them, if they arrived I would leave if they asked me to do so. There is a ski resort way up on the mountain with a large cabin at the very top, it would be very difficult to get to for most people. This is one place I have in mind.

This is just a starting plan to get me to a safe place away from immediate danger. I think the ultimate goal would be to join a group.

This is my very loose plan in the event of a societal collapse.

Have you thought about this? What will you do?

They have to get close enough to my house to hit it. They won’t. Only two sides are even approachable by layout and the two exposed sides are covered by my neighbors who are also heavily armed and not leaving. The perimeter will extend far off my property. Guy across the street and two people on either side of me are well-supplied and tactical. We are all on the same page. 20 people ain’t gonna make it inside or live long enough. The layout is 100% against them and there are too many guns. They have no cover, no concealment, and can be seen long before they can hit the house. We won’t let people use the road anywhere near us in the first place. Mofos will have to go around. The most vulnerable direction for me is uphill and wide wide open with other houses. Weak desperate people have many better choices. Strong people have weaker prey. People trying to live another day don’t fuck around. Dogs are easy to kill IF they get inside. And having to fight my dogs makes them easier for me to kill. Won’t happen anyways. If you saw my position you’d get it. The longer it goes on the weaker the threats get. 30 days in people who have slept like shit with little food and need medical who aren’t trained in the first place will be very weak. 30 days out I will be one of them.

It’s way more dangerous to leave in my situation. Completely open and exposed with all the chaos and other mofos preying on those people. With nowhere to go. Already have everything I need here with barriers and obstacles and advantages. After a few weeks my position gets even better with less people around even if more of them are threats. Keep in mind people who are threats will know the ‘burbs will be softer targets with great payoff.

Not to mention burning the house in theory defeats the point of getting my supplies. The main reason to attack me. Not that they will pull it off. I live on a big property.
