If it gets to that point will the interstates be free to travel?

Nope. That's why the emphasis on having to abandon your vehicle and travel on foot. Given that I'm in a semi-industrial area of Spokane, and that the BNSF line runs the way I'd like to go, I have a pretty good on-foot E&E route. Most likely, I'll just excuse myself, get up and drive home without incident. Say, for example, I hear the words 'bank holiday' float in on the news wires. Then, I figure that I'll have about an hour before it starts getting crazy.

Resistance must take action well before it gets to that point.

Totally agree. But sometimes events take on a life of their own. Better to be prepared than sorry. Or dead.

Best to be prepared for what one can foresee and what one can do.

Once upon a time I thought I’d exfiltrate and join the resistance. Used to have some things packed and ready to go with next to no notice. Just toss’em in the truck and go. I think that is what you’re talking about.

Anymore I think I’ll just stake out my spot and take my chances.

Still prepared for typical disasters, just not planning to go anywhere.
