after an EMP attack.

[Mortblanc]

The senerio present is past impossible, since no EMP producing device is capable of knocking out that large an area. It would take massive nuke strikes to produce that effect and if that happened you would not be heading anywhere.

Over here those distances are not unusual. I vacationed 950 miles from home back in Janurary and I often drive 300-500 miles for camping trips.

Every time I do so I am equipped to walk back home if necessary.

Flying, and stripping myself of all useful survival supplies is what I dread and avoid whenever possible.

Last time I flew I was in a sporting goods store within 30 minutes of landing, picked up a new knife, pack and supplies.
