What about finding a ‘hideout’ somewhat close to home, away from the neighborhood (which will be burned to the ground) and away from the roads? Forming an army in advance of SHTF times, consisting of people in the neighborhood would be nice. Unfortunately, too many citizens are in 0bamabot mode and stuck in ‘normalcy bias’ mode. Not so sure they’d make great ‘soldiers’ anyway and would probably be a liability or even a turncoat when the food supply runs low. ‘Donner pass’ comes to mind.

"What about finding a ‘hideout’ somewhat close to home"

This is something I am carefully considering. My thought is possible look at a out of the way long vacant commercial building of some kind. Something with a drive in back door so I can pull in vehicles out of sight something with a 'front showroom' which would be visible to the passerby, which I would not use, but set-up like a stage; thrash empty paint buckets, piles of debris. Something with a large 'warehouse' like area in the back in which camp could be set-up. Possibly using prefab yard barn type structures for live space something small and cozy using the building merely as a 'windbreak' 'weatherbreak' and the flat roof would lend itself to a good place to setup an un-observable solar array.

The set-up would appear as a vacant empty building with of no interest to looters and thieves and the view-able front area would actually be set-up as a 'fly trap' should anyone decide to enter they would quickly find out that they 'done put their foot in it'. Of course strict light, sound and outside movement protocols would have to be set would have to be observe, but I think such a set-up could get you through the initial 'shock awe' of a major event.
