I would think that it would depend on what SHTF actually is . Do you have to worry about the people , or the government ? The government , you will have to be thinking about technology evasion , whereas with people , not so much , but rather bands of trogs , and thugs . Its been discussed before , but with the availability of personal drones , of all sizes , the scouting potential can not be ignored . At altitude , some are pretty darn quiet . 4WD clubs now sometimes use them , to scout out the best way to go . I’m not a fan of technology , but it exists , might as well use it as a tool when you can . Your area of the country will also determine how , and where you move . Being originally from Arizona , contrary to popular belief , DO NOT travel at night in the desert , yes you have to deal with the heat , however its also better to see where you are going in that place . Your flashlight can be seen for miles , why bother . I wouldn’t want to be moving through the deep dark Forrests of Maine at night either . Better there , than the desert tho .
