Hello all. So I am brand new to prepping. I've been thinking about it for a while now, but I (soon) will finally have a good job to support any addiction I may have, and I feel like prepping is a useful way to spend my time. I have one big, huge, enormous, gigantic problem, however, and I would love some wisdom from those who have been doing this for a while. The problem (well, one of many, but the biggest) I have is the large distances my family, specifically my sister, is from me. I live in Marietta, my parents in Gainesville, Florida, and my sister.....in LA, Cali. So, you can see my problem already if S ever did HTF.
I can get to my parents relatively quickly (5 hour straight shot down 75, unless its blocked for whatever reason), but obviously LA is 2500 miles and several days drive with no stops. Now, as it is my sister, I'm sure most of you can understand when I say I don't accept the conclusion that it will not be possible to link up with her after my parents and I met up in a SHTF scenario. So, I am looking for some advice on this matter. I have suggested (to no avail) that she simply buy many 5 gallon gas cans so as to have enough gas stored to get across country without relying on gas stations, and to have at LEAST 1 friend ride with her, both armed of course. So my family isn't the prepper type, and it is difficult to convince them of anything; my sister most of all. Anyway, forget about that for right now.
What do yall think would be some good strategies to get her across country and be able link up with the rest of the family? Even if it means meeting in Texas or *insert middle America state here*, have any of you come across this issue before, and what do you think would be some ways to solve it? Thanks in advance.
