Bug Out Scenario

[Joe]

It’s the old bug out or bug in debate again lol. Bugging in makes perfect sense until you are faced with a forest fire, flood, nuclear power plant in melt down etc etc. So not having a bug out plan is pretty unprepared.
The common misconception is bugging out with your bug out bag and roughing it in the woods brrr not easy. However you could have a van, caravan, box trailer or heated tent. If done correctly bugging out is possible without killing yourselves.
Personally I use a small caravan towed by a 4x4 which is set up for off grid operation, solar, 12v generator, food etc.
However we have seen authorities introducing travel restrictions pretty quick so this might need extra thought.
On the topic of storms then ideally you need experience operating in them, most folk in the Uk would struggle to operate in anything above 80mph. I work in them regularly and it’s very extreme, even getting behind a big rock makes a massive difference, more so if you include hail/snow.
I use Keela kit, Munro jacket and waterproof trousers and if it’s hail ski goggles are a must.
