I joked with the kids that we were like a herd of Zombies after the first mile. A documentary on WWII, they commented that the city refugees would scour the countryside for seven miles on each side of the lines of drift. The current physical condition of people nowadays, your farm would probably be safe four miles from any major highway.

Unfortunately, the 'gubment would probably give the foragers a free bus ride to your farm. Either that, or the same entity would confiscate your prep and give it to those poor, hungry mouths, so that they wouldn't have to lift a finger! NEVER assume you're safe...

Just like they say that the grocery stores have an average of 3 days of food, it think it's less. Look behind the front facing groceries and see the empty shelf space behind it.
Be safe and God bless.
