[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3132534, member: 43724"] That's my dilemma, I live in the burbs. I've got maybe 1/8th of an acre in land on my plot (plot size minus house) that I could use for a garden. I would have to remove one good size tree, cut out all the cable, phone, electric and gas lines, and I doubt I would have enough room to garden enough to last over the winter. Not to mention no pump for water and with there being a ton of stray dogs and cats, too many predators in one area to find small game. My tentative plan would be to honker down for a few weeks, then hit the road. I would convert my work van (a Mercedes Benz Sprinter, so plenty of room) by taking out all the cable stuff, leave one shelf and make room for sleeping. Then gather what supplies I could and take my family somewhere else. Gas wouldn't be a problem, would use a suction pump at gas stations. It would take a while unless I could get one that does a gallon per pump. That or use an air compressor driven suction pump (van does have a 1,000 watt inverter). Just wondering if it would be better to head north, go to a coastline, etc. I know I wouldn't want to go west, nothing really there until you get past the rocky mountains and then your locked up against the west coast.
