BHC and I are looking at a new BOL this weekend. If we like it, we'll pay cash for it. It's 2 1/2 hours and 1/2 tank of gas from our home. I figure that in an emergency we can be packed up and out of here in 3 hours, but we plan to preposition gear and supplies at the new spot so if we have to run out of here "naked", we can do so.

More info to come next week!

My new bug out/bug in will be in New Zealand, plenty of space out there, the UK is too cramped.

[Mortblanc]

Yea, but you are not there yet.

By the end of 2017 I will At the moment bug out or bug in depends on whats happening.

My plan was to retire permanently to my bugout location, which I did in 2011.

If I must leave my primary residence for a local emergency, my alternate plan is to move in with a neighbor about 8 miles away, where I have pre-positioned equipment and supplies. He has done the same thing at my place.

If the region where we are is unsafe, an alternate location is with a relative about 100 miles farther away from the city, where I also have equipment and supplies stored. The farm would support an extended family group and did until 1940.

Locations are planned to be able to walk to the nearby refuge if necessary and bike to the farther away one if I must leave the Jeep or other vehicle behind.

PACE planning with Primary, Alternate, Contingency and Emergency routings, pre-positioned caches at likely rest stops or overnight hide locations have been scouted and tested. Avoiding heavily travelled roads, having discreet overland routes with water sources, etc. identified.

Looks like your planning is good CH, mine is more fluid in that I have friends I can go to and visa versa although I believe I carry more food stocks for now, they are all ex army, true friends, and we make a resourceful little band.

We have it! We will start prepositioning stuff in a week or so!

Congratulations on your new BOL!

Now we shall make a deal.

Since you and the BHC are into your 70s I propose that when moving from one location to the other you keep your clothes on. No one wants to see that!

Nice one Jonas, well done and good luck with the planning mate.
