Holding down a local point and then moving to a central location once the local point is secure might be more of a reality. For example I live in Wilkes-Barre and the first place that comes to mind for me would be the abandoned Sterling Hotel. It's already fairly secure and it has a good roof for sniping. Once SHTF is over, then move on to the Sector 3 Central Rendezvous.
Trying to recruit in Wilkes-Barre right now. Have two friends I'll talk to tomorrow. Between us we have an SKS, a Taurus .40, and a Kel-Tec P-11 9mm. More weapons are needed I know, but it's a start.
sorry buddy, shes going down from what I hear
Also, my initial idea was the National Guard Armory in Kingston. Yeah, It's in the middle of everywhere, but there are only a couple entrances that you would have to worry about. And TBH you could push (with a vehicle ofc) a connex into the entrance ways and park a deuce behind it. There are large garage bay doors on the building, bars lots of the windows. A full kitchen, a functional maintenance bay ( could get 4 or 5 (i forget) 2.5 ton trucks in with room and tools to work. There are multiple fairly close entrances / exits to highways, the river is RIGHT next to it, excellent rooftop views, HMMWV's, Deuces, Wrecker trucks, trailers, other parked at the facility. Trailer-ed generators outside as well as smaller generators inside not in use (some still in original crates) able to see most entrances from the second floor balcony above the drill floor that wraps the entire area.
It seems unpractical to consider this part as an advantage, but the basement also seems to be quite fortified. There are remnants of the old stables down there, there is also a classroom style room down there that has literature from the cold war era.. (plans to use as a bunker) I will have to check, but I think it may actually be a fallout shelter.. or was?
If not, there are a couple that I know of within 5 min walking distance should they be needed.
Also, within 30 minutes (on foot) there is a warehouse market and multiple other grocery stores that you can just drive a deuce into the front (glass) entrance and load up.
Downside. ... Wilkes-Barre, Kingston and surrounding area would also think this..
It would be a great place to go if you had prior knowledge of an event and were able to move in ahead of time.
