[QUOTE="1krr, post: 2762890, member: 750"] Understanding that while an EMP will affect circuits plugged into a long conductors like building plugged into the grid, cars will likely be running better than the movies would have you believe since they don't have those thousands of miles of wire set out to collect the high amplitude pulses. So if I'm right about having plenty of functional transportation available, I would first buy a map, hand pump, gas cans, and tubing to supply fuel for the drive home. If I'm 1200 miles from home, I've probably flown out thus no firearms and am likely in a place isn't super 2a friendly and even those that are won't going to be selling guns with all the background check systems down. Probably wouldn't put too much time into finding a gun so I would set myself up with a knife/bow/whatever else I could come up with. If it's just an EMP with no follow on nuclear attack, then the roads will be intact. I would get whatever supplies I could with whatever money I had and get on the road away from the cities. I would plan the most direct course I could find while still avoiding cities/large towns to the greatest extent possible. If I'm out that far, there is a good chance I've got a rental and it's likely a mid sized car or SUV. I'm going to need somewhere between 45 and 60 gallons of gas to make the drive with some more for unintended detours.
