Hello from Windsor

Digger, different people will tell you their own opinions & sometimes it will be conflicting.

While a lot of people on here are planning on bugging out, I'm planning on staying put. I'm going for things like familiarity of the home layout (especially important for my young children), knowing the local area (alleyways, back roads etc..) & my firm belief that wherever you go, someone will always find you.

Obviously if you have access to a remote location & all your family are familiar with it, go for it. Just bear in mind, what happens if you store some preps there & someone stumbled upon it before you & stripped it bare? Or worse still, decided to occupy it & survive off your preps while your family go hungry. If it was simply going to the nearest woodland & trying to build a permanent shelter, I would honestly say its not possible unless its a HUGE forest & the local population is very low. Consider things like transporting your preps to the new location. Tins of food are heavy. A years worth of tins would be impossible to carry in one go so then you have to leave some food unattended at some point, all the while, there are hungry folk about.

As for your outdoor experience & knowing you don't want to experience it with your family. Why not? If you have young kids, they will love the outdoors. Sure they may complain about no sky tv or taking a dump in a hole. But the whole experience will teach them something new that can't be taught any other way.
