well i have enough gas in my tank to go at least 50 miles to the smoky mountains, and im a eagle scout, and i know how to trap, make rope make fires, fish etc......i would simply in a year or so of work would have a nice house and just be chilling in the mountains not getting involved in the chaos.....i have enough tools and gear that i would be fine......but i would try to stop at a homedepot or some outdoors place to get a bit more gear.....im fit and can probably outrun all the people on this base.....no im not super fast but i have run more than 8miles nonstop at less than a 8 minute per mile pace, and i didnt even feel a thing.....if i push myself i can probably run 20 miles at a 7 minute per mile pace......and i can run 5 miles at a 6 minute pace
so im all set....i can walk more than 30 miles in a day easily
just saying though if the economy crashes there will be a lot of crime that will be unstopable....so it would be wise to get out of populated areas.....and for those of you who are not so prepared, the easiest thing you could do is become a amish....
