Top 3 reasons you would Bug Out?

1- Nuclear emergency, i live within 20 miles of a Nuclear facility
2- Chemical Spill i live within 5 miles of interstate and rail (stuck between the 2)
3- If i feel threatened enough that i gotta get outta dodge

 

only one. I can no longer hold this ground. But that will be ok, they won't be holding it very long themselves either allah be praized or was that braised or raised. No matter.

 

I'm pretty ok...not much that would get me into GOOD mode....other than seeing my doppleganger, Elder Chelloveck, accompanied by Elder Eldridge coming up the driveway, clutching BOMs in hand!!!

 

Forest fire - though I believe I have enough defensible space to make it.
chemical spill - I live less than mile from major highway & train tracks
Other than that I was born in this house, and I will die here defending it!

 

when I run out of ammo to hold off the hoard of zombie looters

 

1. Fire
2. Chemical spill
3. FEMA / .Gov round up

Even if the place is sticks around me I should have the "parts" to start over with.

Whynot

 

Assuming we are speaking of from home, where I would head at the first sign of problems that could conceivably reach my neighborhood, as opposed to my son's where I currently reside:

Major uncontained forest fire
Numerically superior forces through the perimeter with being overrun imminent.
Unopposable force (like the US Army) coming down the road and all that can be is secured where it is unlikely to be found.

Other than those, which would be local and temporary movements, it is hard to imagine where I would go that would be better than home sweet home. That's why we are here

 

There is a lot to be said about toughing out on one's home turf. Getting out of dodge, you're just another refugee stranger among other refugee strangers in unfamiliar territory.

On your home turf, you have some advantages in knowing what resources are to be had in the neighbouring area that can enhance your survival, you have a better idea of who your likely sources of support are...and who the potential trouble makers are likely to be. Unless you are moving to a place that you have prepared and are familiar with...you may be merely jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

 

It helps greatly if one's tinfoil cap is appropriately calibrated to the correct frequency....
