>>211876> chose to stay in your home or try your luck outside is up to you.If you're a home owner, (hive dwellers in apartments are screwed) you'd be stupid to leave a secure shelter, containing all your food, clothes, firearms and other life sustaining gear, unless it's an environmental issue physically forcing you out of your house (i.e. flood, hurricane, etc.)
"Grab yer sks and go inna woods" = dead within a fortnight, unless you can magically teleport yourself and all your stuff into the back-country the moment (preferably before) the SHTF.
Best bet is to stock up and bunker down.
