Yes, I’d like 2 -

company for each other - and companion travel for me - and/or one to ride and one to pack...Maybe, if have to get even further ‘away’ - two to pack while people walk.

I have snow mobile trail maps for my state - should it become necc. to leave even my forest haven....

All contingencies should be thought out ahead.

But anyone that stays living in the city are gambling with their lives. All one has to do is read the histories of the fates of the city versus the country for survival in times of war...starting with the immediate needs for water, food, shelter (heat, etc.

If you are caught in the city - you STAY in the city - all routes will be either shut down by the gov’t or blocked with panicked mobs - You odds of survival are more than cut in half right out of the gate.

That’s why we made the big move, and escaped Mexifornia. I don’t want to be caught where there are all the entitlement-grabbing illegals when the freebies quit.

We picked a nice, rural area where the people are poor in cash but have faith in God. They unashamedly carry weapons and grow their own food and animals and know how to do things from the days of their great-grandparents. And have welcomed us with open arms - since I’ve made it clear that I 1) escaped Mexifornia and liberalism and have no desire to bring that crap here and 2) want THEIR way of life and want to learn from them. They’ve seen plenty of the other kinds of outsiders - some call them Yankees still ;)

The old ways die hard here, and I’m glad of it. They are still a rebellious lot. We have a flag pole in our yard, and a new friend asked which flag I’ll put on it. Thinking she was referring to all the Mexican flags in mexifornia, I said a US one, of course. Then she informed me I should also put a ‘southern one’ on there, under the US flag. I didn’t know if she meant a Tennessee flag or is there is indeed a new ‘southern’ logo I knew nothing about. Nope, she meant a confederate flag. They are still mad about how the federal government treated them over 100 years ago. I think that will work out well when the feds try it again. IMO, this will be the place CWII begins.

Come down here when you tire of the snow, LOL!

If you (the general you) can’t find them online, check with tourist bureaus for local maps showing more detailed backroads. Keep hardcopy paper maps in the car, at home and in the bug out bag. Make practice runs on various routes so you’ll be familiar and know if the roads are passable in peace time.
