wrench i do believe your correct timing is going to be everything... i unfortunalty have no place to get to other than NC... where the peps are... 13 hrs under normal conditions.. so im trying to set up a relay with some of the guys i know south of me so they have someplace to fall up to sort of speak... fortifie in... im only leaving if absolutly have no choice or in a box... im trying to avoid that last part...
Bum,
My first option is always bugging in. But I feel certain scenarios makes that an unjustifiably dangerous choice.
My primary bug-out location is up near the Georgia line off of I-10. About 4 hours driving in good conditions. But it's a good location to meet up with my daughter who's at FSU. Less than an hour for her to get there.
Still, I'm always considering backups. My wife is getting into kayaking. That set me to thinking about bugging out in kayaks along the St. John's waterway if roads, powerline/railroad right-of-ways, etc aren't useable. Just starting to scout alternate bug-out/cache locations along the waterway now.
Of course, that doesn't get me to my daughter so it's more of a last resort - a "Plan Z" as it were. If there's a scenario that involves Tallahassee, getting my girl out of there safe is always a top priority. Why couldn't she just go to F.I.T.? It's just down the street...
