Frequently I see on internet forums and in articles people talking about hiking/walking hundreds of miles after an EMP. These folks talk about 30+ miles per day for upwards of two weeks to get to their destination.
Can you walk 320+ miles in 2 weeks? With a 90 pound pack?
I can’t.
It’s easy to sit behind a keyboard and say, “Well, if I HAD to I could.” Reality is quite different. Muscle soreness, pulled muscles, blisters….and injuries are all but avoidable.
So what’s the answer? Moderation and realistic thinking. Now don’t get me wrong some may be able to do it. I think I could get 20 miles for a few days – then I’d drop to 15 or so. Of course, there are many factors that would affect this.
Why is this important to consider now? Planning. If you regularly work 100 miles from home and tell your spouse that if an EMP were to happen you will make it in 5 days but it actually happens and 7 days go by and you’re not home yet that could present a problem. What if family members decide to start looking – and miss you by a day or two?
Realistic thinking and planning are important.
