Getting out ahead of time

[Mortblanc]

The "American concept" of the early bug out is proposed and applies to people that have a well developed BOL or own property. It will not work well for those that do not own property or belong to an extended family or group that has made proper arrangements. In many instances the "early bug out" is done on preplanned call or as reaction to a set incident by every one in the group/family at the same time, often with rally points along the journey.

The early bug out is done for two reasons.

1. The greatest danger will be getting caught un the late evacuation mob. Exfiltration of the urban area will be the greatest risk for injury or watching well laid plans evaporate in a cloud of smoke. This is not speculation, but hard cold fact based on past evacuation history.

2. You beat the "prepper trash" squatters to your land. You know the ones, the urban apartment dwelling preppers that spotted a "good BOL out in the country", have no claim on the site other than they think they are tough enough to take it away from the owners, and waited until "things got bad" (they ate their two cans of beans and ran out of toilet roll) to evacuate at 3am on foot or bike.
