just so you realize, the things that people are definitely going to target in an apocalypse is the resources they need.a hospital is an easy mark for sure, an farm is also a very abvious place to look for things you need. farms have a lot of varied needs for proper maintenance. barns are lures as well. a metal building would be seen by many of a mechine shpo or similar place and be targeted for looting/scavenging as well. small towns will fill up fast with desperate refugees from the crumbling population centers as society comes apart. expect a lot of frantic, often violent, people to show up unexpectedly with their own survival driving them to act stupidly.

as for a place to hole up. it doenst sound to well insulated so it will be cold in the winter, does it have electricity, water/bathrooms, does it leak, is it infested with rodents, and so on. you are probably just as well to stay at home for as long as you can. it offers creature comforts that will not be available to you, that will make all the difference in the world as you adjust to the change in your life.

"Well some Native American cultures had special homes for women who were menstruating, they had their own place and were generally left alone for that week. Seems understandable to say the least. "

Although with all the tension of death surrounding, and just being females in general, that could actually cause a LOT of problems. Native Americans had a different live style than survivors in an apocalypse. They tended to be much more communal than we are, even if we were forced into that kind of position. Especially if there aren't pills for everyone. There are plenty of women, including myself, who take the pill to help with problems like P.M.D.D. which is like depression and it carries a lot of anger too. There would be a really messed up hierarchy among the women, if they don't all kill each other. It might be better to separate them....

"The question is are you buying supplies to fill the hole you just dug, or digging a hole to protect the supplies you already have or plan to have."

In my case, digging a hole to save emergency supplies that I plan to buy at some point in the future.

If for whatever reason you can't get to your home, or your BOL, wouldn't it be nice to have at least the basics buried somewhere you can get to? A backpack, a gun, some food, maybe a little cash, whatever suits you and your budget.

I don't have a BOL and I don't plan on Bugging In during the first few days of panic/infection, as Clarksville is a large city, I plan on getting out into the more open sections of the city or even out of it totally until everything calms down. I may just keep going till I get to the military base as I hope they would be checking civilians for infection and letting them in for shelter if clean.
