Your escape plan

[Mel Theofficegamergirl]

Picture this: The economy has completely collapsed and people are starting to realize how screwed they've been by their governments, social structures, media, etc. There's a lot of cognitive dissonance, a lot of people are very angry.

They are rioting in the streets. They're breaking into businesses and buildings, and are so wrapped up in their rage that they fail to even have a civil, proactive conversation with anyone. You, being as clever as you are, saw this coming but didn't have time to do anything about it. Now you know that you need 2 things; shelter, and food. What's your escape plan?

tldr; how to get away from an angry mob when money holds no value and resources are scarce.

Clear out my gun safe, grab some food,and the dog, and hop in the truck and bugger off to my dad's cottage at the lake, its heavily forested out there and not many people are around also the fishing and hunting is pretty decent.

Although the highways would likely the backed right up but I'd go as far as I could and walk/hitchhike/car jack my way there.

 

[StormShaun]

If I knew it in advance, I would buy as much possible food as I can, board up the windows and keep calm. I live in a Cul De Sac, not many rioters would run down to my house. Hell, me, my parents and neighbors could just make a big makeshift wall around the estate!

I'll bunk with Tizzy.

Ok...I guess that wouldn't work due to being Australia.

I would grab my weapons.
A camping backpack.
Put all the food/water I can in there.
Bike ride to the coast/best friends house or even a place where I could get a solar car...or electric car and go to the country and try to stay over there.

Australia is a hard place to survive. >_<

Someone help me!

 

[Keoul]

Seeing as I just read "Jam" by Yahtzee Croshaw...
I'm bringing a lot of plastic bags with me...
Realistically I'd probably go straight to school, bear with me guys, and rob the PE department. I know for a fact they'd have Bows and arrows which will be pretty vital and considering they'd also have food for looting and a well defensible area (surrounded by a 2 meter fence) I might stick around for a bit before bailing.
That or break in, scavenge, and bug out to the country side.

Captcha: Love you
Oh stop it you.

Head out to my sister in laws ranch, proceed to live off the land with her neighbors, one raises cows, and the other (closeish) raises crops of some kind. We could all band together and do pretty good. There is a good stream near by, and plenty of solar energy. Only hard part would be making the 60 mile journey out there.

 

[Bertylicious]

Shit I'd just grab some duct tape and some hose, pick up a couple of bottles of wine, drive out to an isolated garage somewhere, get hammered and gas myself. Frankly it'd be something of a relief.

 

[Ed130 The Vanguard]

Hide in University across the road.

I've got key's for most of the buildings and can enter the maintenance areas to bypass any rioters once inside.

 

[krazykidd]

Well , i can't hunt , or fish , or run for that matter , so i'll just bend over and kiss my ass goodbye.

 

[ace_of_something]

Well I live about 12 minutes outside the city proper with my nearest neighbor being about 3/4 a mile away. If I knew in advance I'd just stockpile resources on my property and set up a razor wire fence.

 

[King of Wei]

Grab a boat and flee to Cuba...
Or join the angry mob if that's possible.

 

[White Lightning]

Fuck that shit, I'll be in the mob. Random destruction is my middle name!

 

[Esotera]

My current bug out plan is to trek the 50 miles or so that it takes to get to the Isle of Wight, and survive on the land there. Plan 2 is to get a bike and cycle to my family, but that'd take quite a long time...

 

[crimson sickle2]

The topic is sort of confusing given the description. If I saw mass riots approaching, I wouldn't escape, I'd fix it; however, it seems the plan must be for my escape, so I'd just go up to a ski resort somewhere and chill until it boils over. Alternatively, go on an exhibition for something more awesome than riots, like Atlantis.

 

[blackrave]

Get a gun, ammo and vest from my sisters locker (she's a police officer and I might accidentally know the combination)
Then I'll try to find her
And ONLY THEN I would start to think about escape

 

[BleedingPride]

my escape plan is relatively simple.

.....

"SMOKE BOMB!!" *poof*

 

[jdogtwodolla]

10 minute drive to the Farm. Not too busy over there now anyways.

Hopefully it ends before the inbreeding becomes inevitable.

 

[Wolf In A Bear Suit]

Escape plan? A gun and a single bullet.....
Nahh I might be ok, no one is particularly well armed but I would probably make a break for the countryside. I could just cycle. Bring my sword and a bag full of useful things. Bring a possy. Really easy to escape when you live on the suburbs of the city with mountains and a big motorway nearby.
