Do you have a plan if you CAN'T get home?

Where can I legally buy fast working painkiller?

I think I've only taken one pain pill in my entire life (outside of Tylenol, Advil, other over the counter stuff). It didn't do much better than the over the counter stuff for me, so I abandoned it after the first dose. I think it might have been "Codeine 3", or one of those other lightweight mixes.

I think if I were trying to prep for pain, I'd just go with Tylenol, Advil, and some kind of marijuana something or other. I've never tried marijuana or any of it's derivatives (edibles, etc.), but from what I've heard, they are a good pain relief item. And now legal in most areas.

I had one years ago, 10 miles, 20 miles 50 miles & more.
But today I am dead weight when comes to walking, I may make it, but it would take many days.
I would travel two lane roads, it take long, but more places to hide should I need to.

Another thing that Mr. TC and I have discussed endlessly. I work from home so unless I'm at the feedstore (13 miles away) when something happens, chances are I will be home. Mr TC works about 40 miles away, carries his bicycle and his GHB with him.

I am always kinda uneasy when the two of us are together off somewhere "too far from home" for my liking.

Ditto that.

Being retired I less than 0.1 miles from home 99% of the time. If the timing is bad I will have some walking to do.

Gotta walk farther than that to feed ponies everyday.
I spend 85% of my time here now.
When my time in a couple week period drops to less than 70%I get concerned. The one who has to pick up the daily slack still works 60hrs in a 4 day week.
Hence my concern.

Where can I legally buy fast working painkiller? I need one dose because I know I'll be in agony walking home.

Though in all seriousness, I would have to hold my hand up and say when I'm older, I may have to sit and wait it out. An annoying thought.

I have a bag in my car, but like most others here, I usually don't get more than 40 miles away from home and usually much less than that. The plan is always to get home. I'll hoof it.....shouldn't be a problem, but the weather may make it more of a challenge. I highly doubt the weather will be perfect if something crappy happens. I usually have a paper puncher in the car too.

Anytime we are further away from home, we are usually hauling the camper so we could stay put for a while, put together some go-bags, and we'd start walking or biking home....usually about 130 miles or so. There is always a paper puncher in the camper. Hubby would probably try to devise a plan to take his beer cooler too.....after all, if we are camping we are on vacation, dang it! LOL!

I probably should get a dog carrier backpack b/c if we biked home, I would have to carry the dog on my back. I wouldn't be leaving her behind, nor would I run her ragged. If we walked, she'd just walk with us. I'm pretty sure I have a lifestraw in the camper too in a backpack, but now I'm gonna have to go check.

If we are going on a carribean vacation, then we basically have decided to take our chances. I'm not going to stay home just b/c of fear that something could happen. Although we didn't go during Covid b/c we weren't taking the required *** to fly. If something happens when we're away, then it was meant to be and we'll do the best we can. I'm not going to stop living life to the fullest out of fear of the unknown.

The comment regarding fuel.....we like to fill up the truck anytime we get to our destination so that if we HAD to leave ASAP for any reason, we'd be able to make it home without having to stop. I do this when I'm away from home in any vehicle. A full tank in an unknown area offers some degree of security.
