My thoughts exactly. Set up a little camp in Sutter Creek and pan up some gold, then come back overnight to shower & sleep someplace free of wildcats.

I’m confident I could squeeze enough fuel, generators, tools, guns/ammo and building material and emergency food/supplies to last me an awfully long time.

Set up shop on the East Shore of Tahoe, build a cabin, wire up electricity (bring some solar panels/batteries), burn wood for heat/cooking, hunt, fish, brew beer and never think of this place ever again.

I’d finally be forced to take up Cross-Country skiing.

I’d probably bring my dog. She seems to like me.
