“The best way to survive is to limit contact with things/people and situations that can kill you. And the best way to do that is not be seen. And the best way to not be seen is don't move around outside of your well camoed/concealed safe zone unless it is absolutely necessary...”

You are the winner according to ME. That is what I was going to write after I read the other comments and there you are writing the same thing.

I am a single older (but you can't tell it) woman with everything I would need in my house and back garden to live well for a very long time. No one here knows what I have - I'm just an “old” lady who lives in a small townhouse. If I left here on foot, the masses would find me even if I have my BOB with me, sure I have a BOB in case I have to leave after a hurricane or tornado that has destroyed my house.

I will move my car so it isn't in front of my house and I have a solar panel to use in my garden to recharge my many batteries so I won't be making any noise. It's almost impossible to get to my small garden since it has high brick walls around it and there is a long line of those gardens on both sides of me and each one has those high brick walls.

One would have to scale about 12 of those tall brick walls to get to mine from one end and from the other end to scale maybe 14-16. I have battery security in the garden to warn me if anyone is back there - likewise the same thing on the one front window and the front door is hardened so it can't be kicked in without staying with the job a long time and that gives me time to prepare my defense in case that front door moves. I have no way out of here except that front door or a ladder dropped down from a window upstairs and that would drop me in the front and that's where the door is. The upstairs, however, does make a very good place to see that door and zero a weapon or two right there.

If everything went to s-—, I think I would have a man here who always carries a 45 with a concealed permit. I can't count on that, but I think that would happen. I have plenty of heavy duty defense weapons and ammo that I don't use since they are heavy. That man could use those. Lighter weight weapons for me are not firecrackers, either, and I have favorite ammo - all hollow points.

There are large houses on streets near me that are easy picking. If I were a zombie, I'd go for the large houses. Now, if I had to, I would leave but that would likely be the end of me unless I have my car and can make it to Humblegunner’s house. We have an agreement, he can come here and I can go there. I'd stack my car with every goodie I could get in it, including the weapons and ammo, and head his direction. I'm sure that would make a feature film ‘cause I'm about as bad a dude as he is - I just don't look it.

Everyone has a special situation based on where one is and what is possible. I have thought out the best I can do and what might happen here to disturb my plan and what I would do in those situations.

It is folly to think nothing will ever happen so do nothing.

can make it to Humblegunner’s house.

We have a river and some canned things.

Plus a bit of moxy and a gun or two.

And a decent position topographically.

I've a friend who lives in a small town In W.Va. he showed me his setup once. It is a large commercial building and it is mostly deserted (The Obama economy destroyed the small town and businesses have been closing there since late 2009)

The building is huge but he has remodeled it over the years and it has a large hidden Apartment in it with a well concealed garden on the roof (very clever design that can't be seen from the surrounding territory)

He has a garage that would take explosives to get inside and it is connected by a hidden tunnel in the basement of his apartment building.

All the windows of the apartment are hidden by the balconies and he has used a clever system of vegetation and construction to still allow a goodly amount of light in yet no one can see it from other buildings or ground level.. He built a rain collection system and has solar panels that are hidden on the roof (He built them into decorative panels) And the really clever bit is his wife who does all these crazy sculptures out of reclaim stuff made this awesome windmill but its real purpose is to charge his massive Deep cycle battery system.

His potable water storage is huge he had these big tanks placed in his basement and then he put up false walls around them. They are all plumped together and he has a 12 volt pump system that allows his to circulate and pump the water and he stockpiles chemicals to treat the water if he needs to add rain water to it from his rainwater system.

He claims he and his wife and kids can shelter in place for over a year and never need to leave the hidden parts of the building.

Of course he is well to do and has been all of his life so he can afford it. But he has been putting the whole thing together for over 20 years.
