"If running is the best strategy, perhaps you want to be the front lemming - going furthest and fastest, hopefully beyond the ability of those following so you and yours wind up in a more survivable situation. Preparation to flee and a good early decision process would seem worthy goals, hence this thread."



I am all for being the first leming out into the open.. being the first, farthest, and fastest lemming is the smarter route.

Hell I know I always calculate the fastest and most obscure route out of where I live to ensure that I am the fastest lemming.
