Our whole entire plan for when the shtf is focused on our home and property, with an alternate place out in the woods if need be. I work an hour from home. One of my get out bags is in my vehicle at all times. I totally agree with you on “I personally tend to see myself self reliant at home and a survivalist when away from home.” I just know judging from past experience that if things go south, I’m gonna be an hour drive from home. That’s okay though, I’m ready for that.<<<

Have you mapped out and tested the alternate routes?

The freeways will soon be at a total standstill with all the cars on them.

Or as I have heard from some that evacuated in Florida about the end of the 1990’s, once they were on the freeway, the cops would not allow them to get off of it.

Dr. Bill Wattenberg suggests having walking shoes in your car and desk, in case you need to walk home.

He also has in his, emergency foods, as in Spam, Peanut butter, and those granola bars, sleeping bags and water and of course tools, first aid, etc.

If I'm at work, as surely it will happen, when shtf, I have a plan. Lucky for me I worked in the city and know how to get around the bad parts. I figure it will be a 2 or 3 day hike if I don't have a vehicle. In my bag I have a change of clothes, underwear, extra pair of boots, foot powder, a couple of 2 quart canteens, and yes, a can of spam, can of beef stew, 2 cans of green beans and 2 cans of mixed fruit along with 2 extra boxes of ammo for my Glock, also about a pound of beef jerky, and a box of Slim Jims. Currently, I don't keep a rifle in my truck. If I did, it would my Century Arms AK. Gonna leave the DPMS AR for the wife at home.

Sometimes it almost seems like a nightmare when I think about stuff like this. But judging by the way things are going, an ounce of prevention may be worth a pound of cure.
