The answer is very situational.
Are you in fortress mode at home?
Are you hiking away from a population center.
Driving?
If you’re in a single family home, I recommend staying there, as it’s nearly impossible to take everything you’ll need for any length of time.
Excellent point. All those preppers may be caught off guard because when the SHTF happens, they may not even be at home, they may be “trapped” in a city or on a road or who knows what. Need to be mobile, light and ready for several scenarios.
