How to bug out?

[Scythe13]

As everyone SD pointed out, it will work, or will be 100 times easier at least. The thing is, many people who'll try to bug out will suddenly find the distance is too long for them to walk with the weight of their BOB. Or when they get to the destination, they realise there is kit they can't use, or forgot, or something they didn't think about.

The idea of the practice is to realise what you will need and whether you can carry it to you predetermined destination. Obviously a real bug out will be very different, but if you can't complete a 'dry run' bug out under near enough ideal conditions, then come TSHTF you'll have no chance.

If the practice is really hard work, it'll be 20 times harder WTSHTF.

If you plan to bug out in 10 minutes, and can't complete that while safe, secure, and relaxed, you'll be F**ked when you're worried and rushing to leave (that's when things get forgotten).

SD's right, you will try to bug out, but I disagree that it'll definitely succeed. It's much more likely to, but there are no guarantees, except that the real thing will be much harder.
