Our neighborhood came up around me over the last 20 years by a developer-figures...so now, I have 2-major roads and several secondary roads running around us where once there were none. However, it does give us options for getting out, so we'll make the best of it.
I keep the car packed with a minimum amount of stuff (3-day pack; ammo first aid pack...). At first I thought about using the RXR to get out, but the biggest advantage there is its biggest vulnerability. So here we go: I have packed several "pallette loads" that is I have a stack of boxes for a litterally one-minute drill and they sit next to "we've got some time" boxes. Each contains similar items: (seed, pioneer tools, medicine, FD food stuffs...). Once gone, the residence will be put in a condition that no one can use what is left and you will never be able to "carry" all that you will need because being on a wagon train like exixtance is living artificailly and that is OK for 3-4 months at best. We are moving to a secondary location that is geographically secured to a degree with long steep ridges, water. I am also looking into getting a SAMIL2.0 for our ride out and after some tough times with food until our new garden can produce we should be OK. The thing for our plan is dictated by the area we are planning to go to. We have water pumps, push plows and we'll be living quietly off the grid and since it will be work in getting to us, those northern invaders, used to living in a big city are not likely to want to move in our direction. The first winter is going to be hard, especially for those who lack differetn skill sets and you are not likely to possess those if you have lived in a large city your whole life-dependant on others.
As for friends and family, we have a couple that have "trade" skills and one has access to a mechanics truck (welder, air compressor, TOOLS...) where we are moving to, a farmer I know has a CNC machine.

I hear of the news aobut a zombie outbreak, first i call all of my friends and family to come to my house (its pretty big),make sure that everyone brings everything that could be useful from sleeping bags to guns. after everyone is there we asses the class of the outbreak and set up ways to talk to others probaly short wave CB radios. then setup teams to go and loot near by gas stations exc and setup sign to a seperate base for survivors and refugee. have eyes on a few different points one on a high point on a hill and another is a grain elavator these will be the sub bases. then we will setup guard positions around the perimeter to keep watch and if we get over ran then we have a river a quarter a mile away so we can just float away in a few boats, any have info to perfect the design?
