Why???

My thought is about the practicality of bugging out AS SOON as TSHTF. Take up a position and watch the area run it's course from our vantage point. Then return once things have calmed down a week or 2 later.

Group issues:
It would be difficult to turn to the neighbours and say "Hey quick, let's all run to the hills and leave our homes." They'll think we've gone mad. Also, in the situation I'm thinking of, keeping a low profile would be paramount. If everything is going nuts in town, and we're up on the hills, a large group of us is easier to spot. Attention, when stuff is going awry, is not desirable.

Also, the practicalities of maintaining the group. Food, water, etc. That would take much larger caches.

Just the wife and I, would be much easier to stay hidden. Keep a low profile, and stay out of harms way. With a group you have to consider many more people. Not a problem at the houses, more food available, etc.

I'm genuinely stuck with what to do in this situation.
