There are no half-in/half-out solutions to going underground. Like we say down south... "either you is, or you ain't."
I have considered just such contingency planning and after careful consideration, I realized that the only real solution is to disappear... just drop out of society. Unlike one of the other posters here, we would live like Jeremiah Johnson.
It would be a last resort, but we have that contingency. When things go from bad to worse, we simply retreat to our farm, as our greatest strength and resources lay here...food, water, shelter, tools, livestock, etc. We could hold up here for quite a while.
However, when it goes from "fryin'pan into the fire" and we are no longer safe here...(ie from govt search-seizure, roaming hoards of pillagers, insertion of troops, etc.)... we plan to hike it overland to the Blue Ridge Mtns. We know folks there, the land in an area/region, and feel comfortable there. Yes, we would live like pioneers...simple primitive shelter, scavenge and hunt-fish, simple gardens, barter-trade with others up along the "trail"... believe it or not, there already is a subculture up there.
I've said it before, when things get that bad, you are gonna live like"Charlie" in Viet Nam, or the Cozzack/partisans of WWII Russia. Not a glorious life, but you will be free and so very alive.
The key is planning and building those skills now. Practice...read/learn...and live it for a weekend. Assess your strengths and weaknesses. What were your successes and opportunities?
Good Luck and God Speed.
