I have been reading through a lot of the posts in this thread and started to analyze some of the info.

I determined there are different types of SHTF scenarios. Each one might require a little different action.

Each family, couple, or single member of a group need to have the ability to hold their own in case they are separated, but work/strive to get together with their group with several potential meeting spots.

I always thought the best way to survive would be nomadic as a group.

My home is not the perfect setup to be defended easily as many others wouldn't be as well if it came down to it.

Depending on the time of the year the mountains with the 150+ backwoods trails / service roads requiring a major 4 wheel drive might not be able to travel either due to snow. Head south to warmer climate, open areas.

Also thinking in a group dynamic, having certain roles ideally it would be nice to have a doctor or medic, someone who understands how to grow food, etc.
