Maybe. But keep in mind, in an apocalyptic situation, routes like the roads and rail lines may become popular travel routes for the hordes. Humans are creatures of habit, so they will have an affinity for paved roads and rails and trails and when they camp out, they won’t want to get too far from them.
There was an interesting and alarming article recently about a massive bunker that a family is building in VA. They made their fortune as consultants to the intelligence agencies. The thing is a massive, impregnable fortress. Frightening that they are building it for themselves. I’ll see if I can find the link.
Hey, i would like to see that link too.
Not that I could build something this nice, I am curious.
The area that I am looking at has roads to it but it is very remote and some of the roads and bridges are easily destroyed. Very long and unimproved roads that aren’t much more than trails. If someone doesn’t go down them, they will be completely invisible within 3 months due to underbrush taking over.
It is somewhat close to town yet will be inaccessible if it needs to be.
I don’t know about the one in Virgina, but I’ve read about this one:
