I'd recommend watching "Collapse" if you can. It's Micheal Ruppert talking about what will happen when the energy runs out. Say what you want about his reasoning in the movie but one point he did make stood out.

If you haven't already secured some shelter in the boonies or know of a friendly person who has you're probably to late. If you try to do it when the SHTF you're probably going to be shot by the people who got there years ahead of you.

There is a book on this very subject, kind of a cross between a story novel and a survival manual. It's called Patriots: A Novel of Survival in the Coming Collapse written by James Wesley Rawles. Not the best writing for sure, but an interesting read and makes you think of how you would prepare for and act in a worst case scenario. Needless to say, his main point in the book is being absolutely prepared before anything happens.

My friend is reading this book now. He says it's pretty intense.

I'm going to mars to live with the demons from DOOM on the moons Phobos and Diemos also.
Lol

My plan is stay at my house where ever it is, fill sinks, tubs, buckets ect with water, get all my firearms ready, tools, hatchets, knifes, fishing poles ect and wait a few days after the zombies are fully known about(assuming that in my reality zombies happen) go to a hardware store and steal things to fortify my castle. I can go a while with little food but I need my defenses at their max before I try to get food from Walmart lol. They have everything.

Or I may go out to a river an live off the water on a boat I stole and built bedrooms in lol.

I can't forget my brew rigs on an of my 3 scenarios lol ;D

Now that I had more time to procrastinate at work...
Leaving my family is no option, zombies, gangs, sun explosion I protect them at all costs. 1 motto I live by is "blood is thicker than milk" I get pretty cranky if I don't eat for like 5 hours, give me a gun and gangs trying to scare me I'm taking some of not all them down.
Everyone underestimates a .22, even though the m16/4 and ar15 shoots the .223/5.5mm aka .22cal. But either way you guys can take your super duper guns, I'll keep my .22 and future rifles if they aren't super high caliber. Rounds would be to rare for a 30-06/7.67 after a while. If I knew 100% that if I left solo to gather stuff for my family and nothing would happen to them they wouldn't even stub their toe while I'm gone then id scout out better areas/resources. Luckily I live in Tracy ca and no one knows where that is. Even people 1city over
