It must have been a hell of a lot easier for people to hide from the machines in the cities but out here in the middle of podunk and nowhere, anything on two legs is a target. I mean, you can hide in a herd of cows for a while but sooner or later some itsy bitsy scout-bot will catch a glimpse of you and alert everything in a fifty mile radius and you can just kiss your ass goodbye at that point.
Trust me - been there, seen that.
The best way to keep safe out in the countryside is to stick to the fields by the major roads. They're all so littered with cars that you can easily duck-and-weave between them all and before you know it you're out of the sticks and back into civilisation where you can grab your supplies and leg it back to your secluded old barn in a field with little to no drama.
Of course there's still the risk that the machines have put trackers in the food you just grabbed and have already been notified of it moving and are now heading towards you by ground, air and if there's a river nearby- that too. There's always that risk but starving's a slower death than most would prefer.
At least if the machines do get you, you do have the slimmest chance of joining them instead of being 'recycled' for bio-fuel. It depends how well-fed they are when they catch you. I had a chat with one of the poor bastards who they enrolled into their ranks last week. Decent fellow he was, said he'll never forget the agony of being modified but it means he'll live another day.
I just don't see how he can live with himself when he's running on mulched humans for sustenance.
