Ok, getting in on this one late but...
Grab the AR in its case. I keep 12 loaded mags in the case which gives me 360 rounds. My 1911 immediately goes on the hip. Bug out bag will have another 10 loaded mags for the AR and 500 rounds for the 1911. That give me a total of 660 rounds for the AR and 529 rounds (counting the mag in, 2spares on the hip and one round in the pipe) for the 1911.
The 5.56 will take any game in North America. So, we will be fed. It is small enough to take rabbits and powerful enough for moose, elk and if you put a couple. Rounds in, even buffalo. It is really the perfect bug out weapon of our time.
However, my buyout situation in reality is much different. I drive a semi and haul food products. Most likely, I will get notification with 40K pounds of chicken in the trailer or like now, 38K of potatoes. Fuel on board will allow for 1000 miles wherever I want to go(but will go shorter distance to have the engine fuel available to put into the reefer unit). I have contacts throughout he country as well as set locations that I have planned based on where I happen to be at the time. No matter where I happen to be, 200 miles/3.5 hrs will be my max driving for safe harbor.
In the truck, I happen to have my 1911 (stays on my hip unless in Cali or OR) with 1K rounds, my primary AR with 1500 rounds (660 already loaded in mags) and my .308 Savage with 250 rounds. We carry enough food (not counting load) for 2 weeks and at least 5 gallons of water on top of whatever we have to drink otherwise. CB, satcom and internet access all available in the truck (satcom is only direct to company) along with cell phone. We have every thing in the truck you would have at home except a shower. So, we are in our bug out vehicle constantly. And yes, in a SHTF scenario I would not shy away from stealing my load to provide food or stealing any one else's load if it became necessary. Most likely, I would get in touch with some other trucker friends and we would combine resources. Build a compound out of trailers with he tractors (houses) in the center.
