Anybody prepping to leave?

I have one issue with the statement of only needing a snare or a rifle and brick of ammo. If the supermarkets are empty then I am guessing a LOT of people will be hunting and taking all the natural growing food that can be found. Your "will" and "sense to survive" may not be enough. I know it has been done in other countries in the past and many would not last more than a couple weeks here under those conditions but it seems many people make it sound a lot easier then it really will be. I do think the multivitamins are a great idea.

I have a old military cold weather sleeping bag for warmth in the winter if I need it. But my first plan is to head home: it's in the country near the edge of Madison and Henry County. It's 80 acres of woods and fields with lots of deer, squirrels, rabbits, doves, and ducks, as well as a 1.5 acre pond holding largemouth, bluegills, crappie, and catfish. Along with a couple barns for storage, and if necessary, housing/sleeping quarters for friends. It's secluded, with the house up on a hill, with my closest neighbor's house being 150+ yards from mine, most of the neighbor's houses are further from my house in the range of 200 yards to 1 mile away.
I also have a back up location but it's a bit harder to get to being 30-40 miles south of Indy. It's a small cabin with no electricity or running water but there is a pond stocked with fish and a small woods behind the cabin. There is a much larger woods a couple hundred yards away. The only downside to the cabin is the woods behind it borders I-65.

While this IS a possibility, I find it unlikely. I'm betting that the vast majority of the populace will be compliant and thus not subject to the wilderness survival scenario. Sure there is the chance of a natural disaster being the EOTWAWKI, but even in that case, there will be a seriously large percentage of the people that perish right away. Yes, it does look a lot better "on paper" than the reality of it. However I have training and practical experience and am absolutely confident that I can survive and provide for my children in a wilderness setting. It's 10% determination, 10% know how and 90% state of mind. I know this is more than 100%, it's supposed to be. That means that you've gotta give 110% because 100% won't be enough!
