This scenario outlines a detailed plan for evacuating from a city to a rural home during a crisis. Key steps include:

  1. Preparation: Maintain Level 1 (EDC), Level 2 (Get Home Bag), and Level 4 (vehicle-specific) kits with tools for repairs, navigation, and communication.
  2. Route Planning: Use GPS and topographic maps to identify alternate routes, avoid natural lines of drift, and establish attack points and backstops.
  3. Vehicle Maintenance: Carry repair tools for fuel leaks, tire punctures, and other roadside fixes. If unable to repair, prioritize abandoning non-essential gear to ensure personal safety.
  4. Communication: Use GMRS radios, cell phones, and prearranged signal protocols (e.g., IR strobe, red lens flashlight) to maintain contact with family.
  5. Movement Tactics: Employ tactical pacing (1 KPH at night, faster during daylight), counter-tracking techniques, and security halts to avoid ambushes.
  6. Contingency Planning: Prepare for unexpected delays by calculating travel times based on terrain, threats, and available resources.
  7. Family Coordination: Ensure all family members understand emergency protocols, equipment usage, and backup communication methods.
