What situations would cause you to bug out?

if looting is the thing you will probably hear them coming a long way off...mobs are not usually quiet-lots of shouting and stuff, if arson is the thing-the riots were looting first then set fire to the place on the way out- then again lots of shouting, smell burning in the air, see flames ! gives you a bit of forwarning and a few minutes to get out, mind you you'll have to have all your gear packed and ready to go, you wont have time to start putting it in boxes and bags, you'll have about 5 minutes-10 if your lucky-to get out and get away.
