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?

I live in the center of a bad city, staying in place will mean certain and fast death. When I say the cities will burn I mean that in the most literal sense. All cities will be burnt to the ground and it will happen fast. Neighborhoods will fall next and the chaos will expand outwards.

I am pretty familiar with the area I will head to. I have done a fair amount of backpacking and climbing in the area and already have topo maps. I am an expert at land navigation and a combat veteran. My weakness is I don't know anything about hunting so the fact that I have excellent survival skills will be hindered. I suspect I could feed myself off of the land to a point using common sense. The ultimate goal would be to find a group to join after I get far away from all nearby cities.

Chances are I will still die within 6 months.

Ah - that's different then.

Have you considered a foraging course? Around me you can do weekend courses and they are fine-tuned to your environment. Not going to fill you up, but it will supplement what you can carry/scrounge. I'm not much of a hunter either. It's a skill I've been meaning to develop.

Finding a group is a good plan. And you obviously have skills that would be valuable.
