The problem here lies with our approach towards bugging in or out, its oh so simple to say " We cannot use roads/ tracks/ tow paths/ cycles ways / rail lines etc but if you HAVE to bug in or out you probably are not going to have a choice.
But if you have reccied and mapped those routes in advance you can mitigate and minimise the risks by plotting likely abuse points or hot spots.
I am equally " wary" of most routes because the chance are others will be using part of them but that is just life and luck.
Its better to have the routes mapped and reccied in advance rather than be driven onto them in desperation and not knowing what is along the route.
You can always parallel any parts that look really dicey as well. Knowledge is an asset, ignorance could mean death.
