It might be that all they would have to plan for is to get to a vehicle, replace certain burned out parts and load up and go. Now after 150 years that option is gone so they will have to do things the hard way. Pack up and hump the gear out of the wilderness. They might have more stuff than they can reasonably carry out, or they might have a vehicle stored away to carry gear. I could see stuffing a Jeep or two into a oversized Bolt Hole.

I was planning on surplus from WW2 and Korea with M151 jeeps and M3 half tracks. Abundant M1 Garands and M1 Carbines to re-arm and for partisan groups to fight the Soviets. Then rebuilding gear at the village level from SF experiences in South east Asia. Plus abundant medical staff and engineers.
