Urban Bug In

[NorthernRaider]

Victorian houses often have a space up to 4 ft deep under the floor or even cellars in some places, in our old house in Teesside we fitted a hatch in the floor at the bottom of the stairs and stored supplies in sealed wide mouth plastic barrels down there.

Also with just the removal of four bricks I could reasonably access the under floor areas of three or four of my neighbours properties ( could have bugged out via n empty neighbours house if necessary.
Similar story in the loft, it would and could have let me easily knock through into neighbours lofts to allow me to bug out if necessary.

We also took advantage of the old property and opened up and cleaned one of the chimneys so we could burn coal and wood on a grate.

Those barred front door grills one sees in London that open outover look handy ???

We also closed off the letter box in the front door and fitted a locked metal mailbox to the wall outside, it stopped the annual deposits of fire works and burning paper on bonfire night, it may stop arsonists.

Back wall was topped with broken glass cemented ontop of wall.

You could in theory easily last 6 months if you prep right and the bastards dont burn you out.
