Am i missing something obvious?

[Midnitemo]

Sorry in advance for what is probably a really gash question but i'm not sure about the bugout bag and bugout location stuff , I don't have a huge amount of gear yet , stores or equipment but i have way to much to walk away from or hump with me , my current plan is to bug in and sit tight wait out the event for upto a month then review the situation, i live in the suburbs and do expect to have to make a defensive position. i guess what i'm asking is are people planning to walk away from there stores as a matter of course or is this a planned fall back if your position becomes untenable?
