That was a good deal. My dad only got to rent the organ of some girl named Schatzie for his carton of cigs.

Fantastic post.

Question - Will the best way to survive be to find a place to stay long term or is staying on the move key? I just feel that if you stay put eventually some fucks are gonna want what you have. Being familiar with an area and being all around it might be a good strategy.

Travelling exposes you to too much risk, IMO.

Get a good homebase in the foothills. Good water source, you can grow stuff, raise food animals and raid into the lowlands as needed.

Knowing the lay of the land will play in your favor, tactically, when you have to deal with bandits.

Have your fighting positions and secondary fighting positions ready. Have your back-door planned. Retreat and counter-attack. They won't know what hit them.

I am also rebuilding my 98 Ford Windstar into a Machine of Death to get me to the compound. Fuck backpacks when you have a Windstar.

Mumbus lovers unite!

One of the reasons I love my Toyota Sienna is the sliding doors on either side. If need be, I can engage a threat on either flank.

So how are you modding the Windstar?

Steel, lots of harden steel. Beside I will have bugged out before people even know what the hell is going on.
