I was expecting another GHB tour but I found your presentation refreshing. My day job is 31 miles towards the country in one direction while my night job is 18 miles towards the city in the other direction. On one day a week I'll do both jobs which makes it a 90 mile round trip. Such is life. Worst case scenario would be an EMP due to a first strike. I guess I might be walking. However, I'm actually considering putting a folding bike in my car trunk because I'm no spring chicken & I want to get home asap. I've been paying closer attention to possible stealth camping spots just in case I needed to hold up for the night & I'm checking out possible areas where I can fill up on water. Your video has ensured me that I'm on the right track because thinking things through is just as important as what you store in your bag. Thank you.
Appreciate this! As a woman I am so thankful I was prepared. During my 1hr commute yesterday morning, traffic backed up in a rural area for over an hour due to flooding. Suddenly I had car issues and had to pull over. Due to the traffic jam it would have taken forever for my husband or a tow truck to get to me. But I mapped a route to the closest business which was a high school, grabbed my small get-home bag and hiked for 10 minutes so that my husband could take back roads to pick me up. ❤ The school happened to be going through a power outage so having my gear like, water, flashlight, battery backup and even a small fan was helpful!
I think in a case like this I may have had a short rest/sleep in the car before setting out, especially if close to dark. Also if you were missing for a while and folks are at home waiting for you, I would stick to my usual route home just in case someone came looking for me.
I used to walk a lot. I used to bicycle a lot. Now after retiring I've started rucking again while walking the dog. I'm doing about a thousand miles a year, all weather, with a pack in almost rural Iowa. Seen wind chills to -40, heat indexes to 115.
Living in Texas and the only thing I ever needed was a life preserver, floods happen, keep a vest life preserver behind my seat with first aid kit & water filter in pockets, knife on shoulder strap and strobe of other shoulder strap.

Great video stay consistent stay dangerous
A 20 mile walk sounds worse than it actually is.
The typewriter sounds made this so hard to watch. 😕
Folks also need to be careful if knocking on someones door to ask to use the Telephone to get a vehicle repair call out.
