what to lose ...BOV....or your life ?

[Rush2112]

I agree that bugging out wont be easy, its a very tough decision. as mentioned, the family is depending on the leader to make the right call. I want to stay where we're at (bug in) but realistically don't think it will be possible long term given our suburban location.

I would rather err on the side of caution and leave too soon than wait and be trapped liked animals. I have no allusions of a grand adventure after bugging out. it will most definitely suck.
But I also have no allusions as to what would happen to the female members of my family if we get taken by a mob. there are things worse than death, in my humble opinion.
