If SHTF in Fairfax County

How would you get out? The highways would descend into road warrior zombie mayhem. I'd hike Pohick Creek all the way to the State Park, pray and hope any small craft are left and just ride it out to the Chesapeake. Lot of beaches to hide/forage.

Ya it occurred to me a while back it's nearly a lost cause and probably shelter in place is all we have left.

Have some "FEMA cookies" to give to those asking you for food. Never share what you have in your stash or they will kill you for it. Think of your survival supplies as "fight club"... 1) Rule don't talk about it. 2) Be prepared to defend it. 3) have a water filter that your can filter swamp water through literally.

This place is absolutely a fucked up place if you wanted to "bug out" that's why my main man hates this area. wants us gone.

Pray now we never need this. Makes me think of the movie "The Road". I'd rather shoot my child than have some freaks get ahold of um. SICK SICK movie of SHTF reality.

A spider hole is a good idea. Depending on what happens, yes shelter in place may be the only way to go.

I have a micro submersible underwater in a large somewhat inaccessible lake.
I have rations stockpiled in an underwater cavern in sealed drums, all of which are in reach.
Additionally, I am loaded, reinforced and eagerly homicidal. I have stabilized vast amounts of fuel.

Bug out plan MUST include non conventional evac methods. --

If flight must take westward route due to disturbance within DC, for example ..

Going on BIKe or foot may prove much faster than in a parking lot called Route 50 or Route 66.

A boat down the Potomac ... depending on threat, etc.

NON bug out, like spider hole seems good, but it will be tough without a network.

I know my shitty middle class 90's built townhouse will go down with an axe to the wall (shitty cheap drywall between units, look at your own house walls, likely the same unless you have a brick house literally!) so my neighbors could get in if they wanted to- so no point in staying long.

So- i have army type backpacks ready to grab and leave w/ important shit like birth certificates, cash, gold coins, bitcoin wallet printed out, foldable stock hunting rifle, water, food for 5 days each, lifestraw to be able to drink out of ponds, first aid kit, super lightweight 6 person tent (all 5 of us are snug but can sleep in it already tried) etc so we never have to come back, i can always buy more shit.

The kids know to grab their duffel by the door, put their favorite toy in it, put on their boots and coat no matter the weather (ya never know nuclear winter all of a sudden it is 20 degrees out in July) and hop in the wagon we are leaving on foot bringing the youngest in the red ryder wagon LOL hey he won't have to walk stroller is too cumbersome in this instance/wouldnt hold up to a very long hike anyway in case we hit rough terrain while walking. I have a garmin GPS for the hikes and we are all used to taking family hikes and tent camping so the kids will be already used to the deal and won't panic like the other kids who have never been and will cry the whole time mine will be quiet and happy to go thinking we are on a fun trip instead of it being a national crisis, mental health is important for the kids.

We have a storage unit within walking distance holding a dirtbike for each member of the family we ride as a pack (and a dune buggy to strap in the youngest in a seat but it is 4wd too) towards our rural hideaway, and that is as far as I will tell you all.


Hope this gives you ideas for your plan.

There'd be plenty of places to scavenge around here. Abandoned restaraunts, abandoned buildings, abandoned homes, abandoned apartments, abandoned delivery trucks. Sure, grocery shelves get cleared before storms, but there's a whole warehouse full of food in the back of all those stores. There'd be plenty of food resources to be found - a heck of a lot more than you'd find out in the woods if you were dumb enough to flee there. You'd also have a lot easier time keeping yourself armed and finding fuel than you would stuck out in the boonies.

These survivalist wannabe's would be worse off out in the woods than near a disaster area. They think they could "live off the land". Yeah maybe for a few weeks they could but not for long. Shit, even the american colonists couldn't just live off hunting and fishing, they needed to farm and trade in order to survive. Get a couple dozen idiots trudging around the woods for a few weeks and see how many deer or bear are still hanging around, lol.

Prepare now by purchasing some land in West Virginia. Land can be had relatively cheap and you can also use it for recreation purposes as a weekend getaway. You can stockpile supplies there ahead of time.

To add to this Rambo's post, if you have a good, actual 4wd vehicle, there are ways to get out past PWC and Eastern Loudoun into Fauquier or Western Loudoun/West Virginia. Not a sissy AWD, but a real 4WD with both a High and Low drive setting. That and some decent firepower and you can be out of this area in 45 minutes with a decent amount of provisions that should last a week or two.

SHTF = Nuclear explosion? Flood? Hurricane/tornado?

Each will require a much different response. If a nuclear bomb are you talking about a small device or total annihilation like the Russians will visit upon us?

The power lines are one way, but an AWD will probably be sufficient and you'll have to cross over a lot of roads. Also, I believe that once you get into Loudoun, you will have to forge a few creeks or deep ravines which no stock SUV or truck are going to be able to cross. Sadly, I think the power lines will be almost as clogged as the roads. I know a lot of peeps that think that's their way out.

No AJ, there are at least two other ways. Of course, I'll not be sharing those here.

In reference to flying out, a Kitfox or equivalent would be great, but there are a lot of other options for Experimental, Light Sport, and Ultralight aircraft that can be stored in a garage and take off from residential neighborhood streets or a ball field if need be. Even a slow trike powered paraglider can get you of town if roads are blocked.

good thing about the power lines is that they're as wide as the beltway and you can make your own lane. Regular cars won't last long on the trails and you can usually find detours into backyards or farmland if you need to.

Be prepared to defend your vehicle and to make it inoperable along with burning all the contents if you're going to lose it. Better to let no one have it than have someone take it from you. Kill anyone that approaches, including good looking chicks. It's a trap.

Not exactly this topic, but is there a back-pack size parachute that you can bring on a plane, and strap on and jump out the back, DB Cooper style, if things get funky onboard?

Small parachutes do exist but because of the smaller size they descend faster and are rated for less weight.
The airplane that D B COOPER bailed out of had a rear entry door that was deployable while in flight. Also DB ordered the pilots to descend to an altitude at which no auxiliary oxygen was required.
So if all those conditions could be met it's possible.

That's the thing. Will you be allowed to take it on a plane?
