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

[Highlander]

I know that in this situation, the person has failed to read the situation right, and should have got out long before he got into this situation.

Having said that, he may well have been away when the shtf, and he has just managed to get back home,... it wasnt his fault that he couldnt get his family out, and his wife couldnt drive

So what do you do... on my signiture I say that survival is invisibility, and in this situation it would be best to hide the BOV you may need it later.

But I wouldnt hide it in the usualy way,.. SD has the best idea, if you were to empty it, break a few windows and leave the doors open, most people wouldnt give it a second glance, its hidden in plain view... and you still have your BOV in perfect working order,... maybe you will be able to bug out after all
