Ok here's the deal, my Wife, kids and I live on the east coast and the rest of my family live on the west coast. My mom has 7 acres in the mountains with a complete off grid house, an ideal BOL.
Our current location is basically suburbia about 60 miles south of a major metro area. We have a house with a decent sized backyard. Not exactly an ideal BOL.
Here's your assignment:
Get my family across the country (2719 miles) in a nation wide long term SHTF scenario. Forget about whether or not we should make the trip, give your opinion on that after you come up with a plan to make it there. What equipment do I need, what do I need stockpiled, how do I gas up, everything.
I would be traveling with my buddy and his family to about the halfway point (Ohio) so I can conceivably refuel and restock there. I have a 4 door Chevy Colorado Z71 offroad suspension with tow package (only 2wd though). I also have twin 2yo boys so you have to keep that in mind if shtf tomorrow (although this they will get older). Get creative I want to hear how you would do it. Money is an issue so don't get crazy saying I need a decom huey, apc or something like that. Keep it reasonable and achievable. Let's kick this off.
