I'm still of the opinion that the best survival strategy would be bugging in & hiding.

I get why Rick would hit the road to try & find his family, but beyond that I'd say the group would have had better success putting down roots than they did embracing their nomadic tenancies. The Mad Max styled road trip might make for good drama, but I can't help but think it's a mighty poor survival strategy.

As far as specifics go, I think Rick & family (& whoever wanted) could have been well served by simply turning around and heading home once they were reunited.

More recently, I think they could have easily held the farm and stayed there.
