Remember this. As a DHS/FEMA volunteer, I can tell you that most of the roads your talking about is already planned out for the government as primary, secondary and alternate roads. This is for use in a SHTF scenario.
Eveyone talks about getting away and bugging out....(me too)...but if all the roads from your house and all the roads to your bug-out place(s) have military on them...it would be near impossible for you to travel on any of them without the military being on the road, down the road or ahead up the road. (and of course, coming up from behind you on the road).
Example in Detroit. SHTF secenario.
1. Folks star traveling west out of the city, but are turned back at the airport because the military has commandeered it.
Now you begin walking North...but are turned away because the highways and secondary roads are closed and theres the other airport also commandeered by the military.
2. Now you turn and start walking back east into the city...but the border with Canada is there, and another City airport...commandeered by the military.
3. Frustrated, you begin walking N.E., but are turned away because the Air Base is there, highways and secondary roads around it, to it, past it, above and below it...are closed as well and commandeered by the military.
4. Lastly...you and your family start heading south towards Ohio. Good idea? Nope. Now You'd be heading straight towards 2 Nuclear Reactors-Fermi 1 and 2 in Michigan and Turkey Point in Toledo Ohio...and so? Yep...you may have guessed this...the military has closed all roads to and from that area and if you could get out of state? There is another airport in Toldeo...commandeered by the military...and they turn you away.
Every area and person, family, state and highway system is different. But we all need to look at our local maps...figure out where the airports, train stations and highway systems and come from and go to...and try to think what could happen in a major SHTF incident.
Getting away is fine. But on what roads that haven't been closed, commandeered or restricted by the gov? Its a real...though unpleasant reality no one seems to be addressing.
