This topic is getting all over the place. Let's face it if you live in Alabama and are up in Michigan and civilization as we know it ends, well that's the end! You have no home to go back to! Because you can't take an underground bunker with you you are going to be forced to do what every other survivor will do! SURVIVE! The thing is the OP was not speaking about events like "dawn of the dead"! They are talking about the rioting and other civil disorderly conduct that's been going on now for a while. If you get caught up in a riot situation much like what happened to Reginald Denny I honestly don't know even if having a firearm will help you! I no longer drive, if I were in a situation that looked dangerous there is NOTHING in my truck or my load that is more important than my life! I will stop, and abandon that rig and get to safety if I can. Honestly, to use the Twin Cities/Portland rioting for example. If I know there is an elevated danger I am going to protect my truck, my load, and MOST CERTAINLY my rear end and stay OUT! To this end, I don't really think you can plan for this as to be able to evacuate at a moment's notice. Like I said before, I kept my briefcase, my laptop, and my shaving kit generally close together. My shaving kit held a change of underwear and my meds.

Just make your way to Texas. Look for the guy in the semi truck. I also have access to 12 valves and 6.2's that don't care about EMP's.

It still looks like a pos, it runs great through and I have no doubt he will survive.Gearjammin' Penguin, shooter19802003, Speed_Drums and 2 others Thank this. -
Has no one here studied to be a ham radio operator? Thats the only form of communication other than smoke signals that would work once the cell phones, internet, electricity, etc all go out. Using Morse code, very few would know whats being said.
That would include after a hurricane, the Yellowstone supervolcano erupting, nuclear bomb, riots, Martians attacking, or whatever you can dream up. Judging by some of the prior posts, thats plenty.Last edited: Sep 28, 2021

Ham ( or any other type of atmospheric comms) won't work very well after a nuclear attack. The atmosphere will be all kinds of screwed up for a while. And with a lot of the repeaters being wifi-based now, I'm hoping that the ham world hasn't screwed themselves in a mass electrical grid failure event. -
JoeyJunk and Hazmat Cat Thank this.

All this survival talk. Is it just me that wouldn't want to live in a world without Popeyes chicken sandwiches and unlimited internet data?.
