What you might want to have planned is which route to take and a couple of alternate routes just in case one was blocked or clogged up with traffic. Keeping a bug out bag ready to go would also be a good idea. You can do a search of bug out bag contents and find a lot of info on what they need. Basically a bug out bag would need your medicine a change of clothes and food and water to last 2 or 3 days, protection(gun w/ammo) or until you arrive at new location. Set up a contact point with someone in another area as a place to call or head to if members of a group got separated that they could call into for info on where anyone might be. About the best advice is, get on the move early before the crowds hit th highways and clog them up.Almtnmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15278840639833758856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451228573301592412.post-91638618105901359552007-04-15T13:01:00.000-05:002007-04-15T13:01:00.000-05:00Cheryl, if at all possible, try not to travel alon...Cheryl, if at all possible, try not to travel alone.. Try to get somebody you trust to travel with you or try to join a group or caravan.. <BR/><BR/>Also see if you can have your friends from the mountains meet you somewhere and lead you into where they are .. They will know of the hazards that will be on the way in and can direct as to how to avoid any problem areas.. <BR/><BR/>Pre-plannin a route and makin notes as to where there are places you can hide till thangs settle down is a good idea.. <BR/><BR/>Try to find people that are on your route that you can go to or get hold of and keep addresses and phone numbers listed.. Also give that list to the people where you are headed so if they need to track your progress they will be able to find where the last place you were at.. <BR/><BR/>Get a CB radio in your vehicle !! If it gets bad the truckers are gonna be organizn convoys to travel and they may let you join them.. If its REALLY bad, then they may be able to give you a ride close to where you are goin and have your friends meet you there to take you on to your destination.. And there may be Military Convoys doin the same thang too.. But SAFETY is gonna be in NUMBERS !! <BR/><BR/>This is just a few of the thangs you may want to consider.. I'm sure there are a lot more that I didnt list..Wild Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02325977196500842822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451228573301592412.post-16733214989741452942007-04-15T12:22:00.000-05:002007-04-15T12:22:00.000-05:00Being in earthquake country I am prepared for a di...Being in earthquake country I am prepared for a disaster. However, for the danger I'm anticipating, and for which I believe you write, I need to leave my area. Can you possibly write tips for a single female with animals traveling by car? I have to drive about 250 miles to safety with friends who are veterans, and in the mountains. I do have two means of protecting myself, though. WB has given me pointers, as well. I'm going to print this stuff out and memorize it, as well as put it in my emergency kit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451228573301592412.post-11713185822110513302007-04-15T00:26:00.000-05:002007-04-15T00:26:00.000-05:00Good advice.

Plus I'm going to have kids with me for the next few years. Kids and escape are not kind bedfellows.<BR/><BR/>But most likely I will be long gone before TSHTF. But my Son and Daughter and Grandkids are getting trained right now and have been since they were all small. <BR/><BR/>WB will tell you that I have made several posts about being prepared and how it is responsible to do so. <BR/><BR/>Trouble is, most folk think it's too much trouble or too expensive or just don't want to believe it is necessary.<BR/><BR/>Ask people that lived through some tornados or other natural disasters only to find out that they didn't have a way to survive without depending on someone else.<BR/><BR/>Don't ever depend on someone else for basic survival.<BR/><BR/>Papa RayPapa Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454201360366303944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451228573301592412.post-59337469189652030642007-04-14T14:30:00.000-05:002007-04-14T14:30:00.000-05:00Sure don't want to scare anyone, but the world is ...Sure don't want to scare anyone, but the world is changing now and we all need to be prepared just in case things take a turn for the worse.Almtnmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15278840639833758856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451228573301592412.post-56646084700692129252007-04-14T14:22:00.000-05:002007-04-14T14:22:00.000-05:00You're scaring the hell out of me, yet I know this...You're scaring the hell out of me, yet I know this is something we all should read and take to heart.<BR/><BR/>I agree with Wild Bill, great writing and a great site.
