Is everyone in your party capable of walking that distance, are your shtf items too much to carry, along with all the other shit you now have to leave behind?
How bad did Plan A got to sh$%^t and can you pause long enough to go to Plan B, OR are you realistically screwed just like everyone else on that road?
Should you have had better back up plans, stayed home or moved to another area with like minded folks etc, etc.
This is exactly what I anticipate since I work downtown. My bugout location is my home. If there is an exodus from the metro area, I expect to abandon my commuter vehicle at some point (start point is 40 miles from home). I have the necessary survival items, season appropriate clothing & boots, an 870 with 25 slugs & 25 00, PT92 with 5 mags & 100rds, CCW pistol and food & water (+purification) for three days. I can certainly make the hike, but I am going up to 9000ft so it will take time especially as I avoid the “predators”. However, time is critical as long as my home rests undefended. As long as I am able to hunt and cut wood, I can live at my home without refreshing supplies for a long long time; I have all the basic necessities naturally to include water, shelter, timber, and game. After my initial supplies run out, I can keep going indefinitely depending on health.
