  • Greetings from PA

    Hello everyone, wanted to say hi. I think a better way to introduce myself is to actually make this into a post. Here it goes...

    I live right outside of the terrible city Philadelphia. I can't stand it here. The Eagles are a terrible football team and worse than them are the Eagles fans. Anyways, my problem is this. Philadelphia is terrible place in the event of a disaster. Even if the city wasn't hit by a disaster, it would still be insane to get out. If you notice on google maps, Philadelphia really only has two highways leading out of the city. I-76 (PA Turnpike) and I-95. There are some other routes but you would most likely have to take those main routes to get anywhere. I-76 would be blocked within an hour and I-95 would lead you to Baltimore and that place is like Philadelphia's little brother of idiocy. My questions...

    Would it be best to embrace the inevitable highway system or to maintain my survival in my home? I could live on my garden, collected rations, fortified home with my weaponry and german shepherd but would it be worth it in a east coast region like Philadelphia? This area offers only 8 months of the year with good weather. There is little wildlife (although my neighborhood does have rabbits everywhere) for hunting. Snare traps and a possible deer would be possible but extremely limited. So, if anyone would like to extend the topic then that would be great.

    Yes, I do want to move from this area.

    Welcome to the forums, lots of good people and info here. Pull up google and look a little closer I bet you will find other roads that lead into/out of Philly. Remember Philly was there long before the interstates were. There is always more than 1 way to skin a cat as well as get in/out of a city. I put a couple of suggestions on your profile for you too.

      Welcome from Ohio!

      Like Elittle said there has to be other ways out. My family and I have traveled many different routes to our BOL. At first not by choice due to road construction but later we just tried a different way each weekend.

      Like you said those highways will be parking lots pretty quickly so unless you get lucky and leave before everyone else you'd be better off to bug in.

      Either way you taken the first step in the right direction by coming here.
