The Slow Descent - When To Bug Out?

[NorthernRaider]

Evening

I will not be bugging out, nowhere to go. For me it's a case of bugging in and dealing with whatever arises.

Staying put and bugging out both have their problems, some people overestimate their abilities and don't have a hope in hell of surviving in their Rocky Mountain cabin. I see this a lot on a couple of sites I frequent, some of those people know everything there is to know about everything lol.

Obviously staying put will present more people centred problems, I am alone with a child, we could be viewed as easy pickings.....but I have made plans to dispell that myth (smiles evily).

As for when to bug out, well. If I had that option I would be gone at the first sign of trouble. I'd rather come back, tail between legs if I am wrong, than be caught in gridlock and not make it because I left it too late.

Good luck to you all.

Take care

Lizzie I would say that in the last ten years that about 70% of the UK prepper community ( Excluding the young rambos ) have now decided that bugging IN is more attainable and achievable than bugging OUT. More and more folks either are just staying put, or moving house lock stock and hidden barrels to the burbs or villages.

Population density, economics, tactical situations, traffic density, CCTV survielence, you name it its stacking up AGAINST preppers who planned on bugging out. I think that about 80% of my prepper friends have already relocated or are making plans to do so.

I plan to never get stuck in suburbia and need to bug out. My first house when I move out will most likely be a tiny cheap house in the middle of nowhere.

As I pointed out to Nemesis you can but houses in rural villages around here from about £30K
