Step 1 -- 5 miles from home, very,very (that's 2 verys) secure redoubt, Step 2 thru XX -- 8-10 miles apart, Secure cache / layoff locations -- leading to either final destination (or transportation elsewhere).

Cache sites contain food, water, additional weapons, ammo, clothing, sleeping gear, medications, inert Coms, radio, flashlights, etc., with focus on evading / avoiding others, and what is required to reach next subsequent site. Initial site and final site required the most concentration. What did we need to begin the "bug-out", and what would we need at the end to the journey.

This assumes that you would have previous knowledge as to which direction the threat will be coming from. You have recognized your limitations in load carrying and distance covering. I believe that that is exactly the challenge TR is asking us to consider.

BTW, I would stay where I am. One hundred miles in any direction would put me in a worse place. Well, unless I go North along the San Pedro River and meet up with TS heading East along the Gila. I reckon he could probably use someone for KP.
