Thanks for the reply on the freeze/thaw issue. We decided to wait for the Spring to transport the canned goods. Big reservations on doing it now as we’re talking about 6+ full pallets worth... Tai’nt worth the gamble on losing a bunch of it! I’ve a full load as it is... and miles to go!

Dang, that would have had to have been a BIG pickup! LOL
I think your plan to wait for the thaw is probably a wise choice.
I often considered the bugging-out prospects, but I think that hunkering down is the best for me. 2 daughters nearby and other extended relatives close by - Besides, it would take a couple of 40’ trailers to take the minimum what I would want to have with me... Then I wouldn’t have the miscellaneous items that could be cannibalized for parts and stuff.
We have 7 bridges that could be closed and all the hoards from the cities would be kept out. We don’t have the big city cesspool type areas on the peninsula and it is big enough to have diversity - 60 miles wide by 180 miles long.
Having Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Norfolk all in a circle, surrounding you, does not make one feel secure without the option of isolating the area.
