Have you selected a wilderness site and pre-supplied it with food?

Geocaching is really the strongest tactic out there. Bicycles, new shoes, and plenty of back-ups.

I have 2 cars that are purpose built for the scenario: I don’t expect to keep even them. The life expectancy of my Jeep is 200 miles (After about 8 months and countless dollars invested). Not even enough to focus on spare fuel. It’s intent is to absolutely, positively, get me to a specific point without failure. The rest of it’s life will be on borrowed time.

Motorcycles though... I’m racking these puppies up. I am concerned with health, however. It’s great to have motorcycles, but it’s more important than ever to gear up properly and WALK AWAY from any sort of collision. A broken bone after an apocalyptic event is just about on par with a slow and painful death.

Finally, a lot of people I talk to have no idea how to distill water. I suggest everyone get all that info now, and start looking for these supplies while they are out at the grocery store. Never wait until you are thirsty before digging a well.
