[QUOTE="pistolguy, post: 2224508, member: 30479"] not necessarily. When the place is flooding, all you need to care about is reaching higher ground. If there's a hurricane coming, all you really need to care about is getting inland as far as possible, as soon as possible. Hurricanes lose power as they travel inland and they tend to follow the coast. This is not to say that they don't generate tornadoes some distance away, tho! You have to have a multitude of routes/destinations, in case some of them are jammed with cars, flooded out, on fire, have enemies present or in the way., or whatever. Staying in place often ain't an option, with flooding, fire, fallout, riots, looters. As long as you have goodies buried in several places, all you really need to do is 'hole up" underground, near a year round water supply, up out of the flood plain, with thick cover. At night you can journey over to where your stuff is buried, access it and bring it to your hidey-hole, or at night, on a mountain bike, get to where your stuff is, by off road travel, 20 or so miles per night. There's no reason to travel far, but if shtf, EVERY above-ground building will be searched by desperate people, many, many times. Not one person in 1000 is properly prepped, or ever will be. If you think that your neighror won't kill you, to save his kids, you are badly deluded! If you put up a fight, that will just tell the looters that there's stuff there worth taking. Many will be unable to move on, they'll just hang around and snipe at you, burn you out,sneak up to your place at night, poison you, deny you access to food or water, move in under cover of smoke, or contrive bullet-stopping materials on the front/top of vehicles, etc. Also, unarmed groups of women and kids are likely to approach, and just hang around, will you shoot them? They are likely to have communicable diseases, too. Will you deprive your family of needed stuff, to help everyone who comes? The word will spread if you do and you'll ALL be starving/diseased, within within a month or so. [/QUOTE]
