dollarbill - I would think you would get a lot better performance out of a deep cycle battery than a car battery. Maybe even throw a solar panel on it to get as much as you can out of it. Good, easy, fast travel along the water, but it is also not easy to hide from people along and over it, and it is likely to be watched. The point in the instructions to be walking 100 miles is to see what weapons and associated gear you would take and move tactically with. Using a sled and a boat to take a safe's worth of guns kind of defeats the purpose

Thanks Reaper. I always thought the river was my best and only route and never gave it any more thought. Your post #119 got the wheels spinning. If the river is taken out, I would definitely have to navigate the suburbs. I still think I would get all my weapons (Rem 870 and the two 40 cal.) Would also get the hiking gear:
Black Diamond Infinity 60
Hilleberg AKTO Shelter
Francis 27-8 alcohol stove
Aqua Pure water filtration (a little bottle filed with iodine crystals. Good for about 2000 liters)
550 cord
1st aid kit
Dehydrated fruit
MRE's
Small Altoid Mint case with various size fishing hooks inside the lid with 100 feet of 12# test wrapped around a pencil,various weights and small lures.
Compass and map
What I'm thinkink is ( please correct me if I'm off) Once I determine the direction I need to go, work my way through the suburbs. Pick up one of the major roads heading in my direction. These roads have moderate to heavy wood line. Stay well into the wood but follow the road. The reason behind following the road is water is really scattered in Indiana. Along the roads there is small subdivisions to resupply water and possible raid gardens.
