grasssnake, good points. I agree that it will be a tough decision to stay or go. I think the best bet is to stay at home as long as you possibly can. You don't want to head for the hills to early in the game, because you won't be able to take as much and survival will be much tougher. Plus once you leave you may not be able to reverse your decision and go back. I think alot of guys think they will just head for the hills and survive up their as long as needed, but obviously its not that simple. Especially during the winter months.
