| My SHTF Evacuation Plan I was an Environmental Police Officer for 15 years. I’ve thought that if I needed to leave an urban area, I’d suit up in a light decontamination outfit, who’ll know the difference besides me. White jumpsuit, breathing mask, rubber boots and gloves. I’d drive a white vehicle with big nuclear ‘wasp’ emblems and a few ‘decontamination unit’ signs plastered on it. If approached I’d explain that I was removing a load of ‘bad stuff’ from the area and needed a very clear path. I have a feeling I’d get out OK.

| lol when the panicking mob starts to swarm at you, you can pull your hidden rip cord which will open the also hidden container of green dish soap gel under the tank and the green smoke grenades. OH GOD ITS LEAKING GET AWAY!!! Lets see how well that clears the road ahead of you.

| Trust me I've been in local evacuations. You knock on the door and in your best Darth Vader voice say, 'We recommend you leave'. It looks like a chariot race as they go screaming down the street.

| I've had a similar idea - a basic white P/U or van, with yellow emergency light. Wear outdoor work clothes, a white hard hat, carry a clipboard. Get stopped, tell em you are investigating power outtages for the power company, or a broken telephone line - play dumb, ask directions but be vague. Chances are they'll let you through just to get rid of you.

| The Clipboard gag always works! I did it for years at a large miltary base I worked at. I'd grab a little baggage tractor, take one of my mates from the workshop to drive me and we'd drive around all afternoon soaking up the good weather. My mate driving, me sitting there holding a clipboard, saluting officers and nobody ever questioned us!! |

| Registered User  | LOL!! Ive used the clipboard trick a few times but not to bug out. If I ever have free time at work, I will get a clipboard and a pen and go for a walk around campus, making sure to look like Im in a hurry. Everyone assumes Im busy doing something but Im actually just takin a walk!!

|  If you really want to be left alone - look worried or PO'd! Nobody wants to be a part of someone else's problem! I learned the clipboard trick in the Navy, then read of it in "Dilbert" later.  I used a variation of the Clipboard Trick in high school - had a bully that I coulda beat up, but didn't want the trouble with the teachers, and I wanted to really mess with him. I carried a little pocket notebook - every time I saw him (and he saw me!) I was looking hard at him, then jotting something down. His buddies asked me later, "What are you writing about him? Who you reporting to? He's freaking out!" Hehehe! Had him going til we graduated...... I can be EVIL.....

| Yep I had a Clipboard and Tape Measure save my stripes when I was in the Army. I was so hung over I could hardly stand up so I went to back of the warehose and flaked out. Heard voices and rolled over and started measureing shelving like i was making a plan. Had the Company CO and 1st shirt stroll by like I knew what I was doing. Of course the 1st Sgt cornered me later and told me that was the oldest trick in the book as it had worked for him before.

| Senior Member  | Best thing in the world to give your OIC is two clipboards...one marked IN for stuff he needs to sign, and one marked OUT for stuff he's already signed!!

| Bullet Maintenance !!   | A long, long time ago I was stuck in a huge crowd trying to get to an exit. I started twitching my shoulders and replied to anyone that looked at me, "one if by land, two if by sea, one if by land, two if by sea". It was like Moses parting the Red Sea, LOL !!
