well in case SHTF, my family has, in fact, 2 cabins in the woods of virginia, near woodstock. its really cut off from the rest of the world because it has mountains behind it and to the left of it, and the shenandoah to the right, front and left of it. plus there is only one access road which is a concreete bridge that floods frequently and can be barracaded. Not to mention we got alot of guns and ammo down their as well. And, if anything else bad happens we can always go set up a camp in the forested mountains right behind us. (our cabins sorta next to a national park with alot of territory.) so ive got it made! So if any of you guys live in that area and happen to be a gung-ho militray/police/survivalist type, with lots of guns, ammo, and gear, we'd be happy for you to join us! (we also have TONS of food. i.e. a whole closet full of canned food and rations, not to mention we've got deer and other various animals around up the wazoo!!) just contact me if the SHTF... :)
 
virginia, got it... quite a hike from Florida, but if the SHTF for real, on a large scale, It's a trip I'd be willing to take.
 
I wasn't talking some random SHTF scenario... I'd honestly bug out to virginia in a worst case scenario. While I was based in Norfolk, I became very familiar with the woods in the Colonial Heights-Williamsburg area, as my girlfriend was working and living in that area. There's some very FUBAR stuff in Waverly, Va (KKK museum, and office.. tons of skinheads.. some pretty freaky stuff)

If I recall, your just north of Richmond right?

I'll have to look at a map later.
 
How do you define worst case? Definitions vary.

I'd think that with a "worst case" (my definition), you'd have to make the trip from Florida to Virginia on foot, mostly by night, no useable map, and possibly no food or potable water.

And when you get there, odds are you won't be the first to have arrived.
 
So when it all comes tumbling down, and you have the bridge barricaded and guarded, how can I get in... :D
 
Seems to me that you've just told the entire western world (including those with more guns and ammo than you) where they can find a well stocked larder in the event of shtf. Surely it's far better to plan these things in your mind and keep them between those you know, love, and trust so that if the s does htf you can bug out fast and deal with the situation unmolested by those you'd far rather leave well behind...
I'm not saying this to be rude, just trying to say that we all make our own contingency plans, but I feel that all details of them are best kept close to the chest. My own plans involve being as far as possible from the idiots that created the FUBAR situation in the first place. The last thing I want to do is give them a map and an invitation!

Oh dear.. how do I define worst case? Nuclear war? Wait, I got it.. (creative side awakens) Sit back for a little story from the darker part of my mind.

A Cascadia Megathrust Earthquake happens in the Northwest pacific, leveling seattle, and other major cities on the west coast with one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded. (up to 11.0 according to the discovery channel show I watched last week) source #1 source #2 source #3

This in turn send a giant Tsunami towards Australia, Japan, China, South America, and many more countries. Map
(Since I'm being creative.. and making my own "worst case scenario"..)
The seismic activity from that quake causes the super volcano under yellowstone to erupt. The thousands of cubic miles of ash that is thrown in the air rains down upon most of the united states map
This ash chokes thousands to death, while disabling vehicles and other machinery for an unforeseen amount of time. volcano source
The ash that dosen't fall to the ground will enventually be pushed into the atmosphere, lowering the amount of light that reaches the earth, therefore lowering the temperature globally. From the USGS:
Scientists, however, at this time do not have the predictive ability to determine specific consequences or durations of possible global impacts from such large eruptions.

But I can tell you, theories that I have read range from a 10F to a 40F DROP in temperature globally. The ash would slowly return to earth, in the form of highly toxic acid rain. This would devistate the agriculture industry, and our food sources would quickly vanish.

Worse case enough? Hope You enjoyed my story.
