URBAN NIGHT NAVIGATION DOWNTOWN ATL ON FOOT.

[bikeboy636]

SO MY BEST FRIEND AND I ARE DISCUSSING A SCENARIO FROM BUGGING OUT FROM DOWNTOWN ATL. SO FAR WE KNOW WE WILL BE ON FOOT, NO CELL PHONES, GPS, OR ABLE TO PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM ANYONE. WE WILL HAVE LOCAL MAPS THAT WE WILL FIGURE OUT CERTAIN ROUTES, HAND HELD HAM RADIO TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH OTHERS AS WE REACH CERTAIN CHECK POINTS(FOR SAFETY AND TO TIME THE TRIP BETWEEN CHECK POINTS). WE WILL HAVE ALL GEAR, FOOD, WATER AND SECURITY IN OUR PACKS. WE WILL PLAY THIS AS THE THE STREETS ARE CLOGGED WITH VEHICLES AND WERE AT A BUSINESS MEETING OF SORTS DOWNTOWN. THIS SCENARIO WILL BE CONDUCTED OVER NIGHT AND OUR WIVES WILL LEAVE A VEHICLE AT A LOCATION THAT WILL BE DETERMINED THAT NIGHT. WE WILL FILM THE ADVENTURE AND PLAN ON HAVING OTHER HAM RADIO OPERATORS HELPING.

HAS ANYONE DONE THIS BEFORE OR DOES ANYONE WANT TO JOIN US IN A FRIENDLY TEAM CHALLENGE?

If it were real, you could use the Marta tracks. No power, no trains. The tracks are protected by chain link fence, Its a straight shoot in any direction. Early on good option.

And there is always the chattanooga river. There is water, food (if you can catch anything), and there is less development then the city. If you going South I dont recommend this.

Follow the gas pipeline it will take you to the coast

Good idea. Just watch that 3rd rail if the power was to come back up. That thing will do you in

YES THE SCENARIO WE DISCUSSED WAS JUST MAYBE LIKE A MASSIVE TRAFFIC ISSUE LIKE THE BRIDGE OUT OR SOME SORT OF CIVIL UNREST THAT HAS THE CITY IN GRIDLOCK. WE WILL BE GOING FROM CENTENNIAL OLYMPIC PARK TO THE AREA OF ATLANTIC PARK. SINCE THIS IS OUR FIRST ADVENTURE WE WILL KEEP IT UNDER 10 MILES AS WERE BOTH NOT IN GREAT SHAPE. WERE ALSO DOING THIS TO SHOW EVERYONE WHO WILL JUST "PUT ALL THEIR FOOD, WATER, GEAR AND EVERYTHING ELSE THEY OWN IN A PACK AND HIKE IT" THAT ITS A LOT EASIER SAID THEN DONE.

The Chattanooga River sounds like a good choice and a safe route. Where is it again?
