Honda Ruckus. I'm dreaming here, but when thinking of how we would bug out, keep 4 Ruckuses in the garage and turn the garage into a Faraday box. They get about 105mpg and will do about 35 mph max. Perfect when roads are blocked by cars.

Might want to read One Second After if all you're worried about is cars blocking the roads.
yup

I was underwhelmed by the 2nd book, honestly.

It was good, but not on the level of the first

First book was a tough act to follow. The 3rd book is probably closer to the 2nd in quality but worth reading.

Yes, I’ll admit that’s true. Couldn’t get through the 3rd book, TBH.

I have one but it’s rather small despite the two trunks. Might have to lottery which humans and pets are left behind.

Keeping an eye out for an old farm truck to restore.
I'm going to kayak up the Columbia/Snake/Palouse. How close can I get to your hilltop redoubt?
If your willing to portage over a few dams and around Palouse Falls and a couple smaller ones on the Palouse River tribs you can get to about an hour south of me at my favorite fly fishing spot. PM me and I’ll pick you up from there.

They are all well thought-out scenarios

But I quit reading the first one when they had to eat their golden retriever

I’d do it, but I’d prefer to just make up in my own head what happens after I have to eat Old Yeller

My grandpa had an old International Harvester Pick-up - from sometime in the 60's. I really wish my Dad had let me have it instead of including it in the farm equipment auction after grandpa passed.
That would have been a nice one, I believe they came stock with a positrac rear end.
