How far away “out in the country”?....we have access to a place (orchards) we could head to....2 hours away, though....and driving freeways....hhmmmm.....maybe “camping” down by the creek in the woods within a mile of our little suburb would be better? (albeit less comfortable)
Somehow I missed your post last night. IMHO, anything less than an hour away isn’t “country.” Two hours out? Perfect. Just make sure you keep enough fuel available to get there. Or be willing and able to hike it.
PS A key is knowing early that the SHTF. Freeper land will let you know - either by posts or by its sudden conspicuous absence in a time of crisis.
