You can not plan for now what will happen later because you do not know everything that will happen later. You can only guess. While training and preparing is great you can never truly prepare for everything and every little variable. It is just life and you can try your best but really you should be flexible enough to go with the flow and not freak out if something unexpected happens.ahovancsakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04968661548031473556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4329599740558461185.post-45293540333692446692012-06-08T22:23:00.434-04:002012-06-08T22:23:00.434-04:00Always stay in the areas you know best.

If you stay in an area you know extremely well you will be safer a. because you know the area the ins and outs and b. mentally your are sharper because you feel safe and comfortable in your are.ahovancsakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04968661548031473556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4329599740558461185.post-21403763281803892332012-06-08T22:21:26.902-04:002012-06-08T22:21:26.902-04:00All we can do is hope for the best and prepare for...All we can do is hope for the best and prepare for the worst really. Lets do hope shit hits the fan slowly and its mother nature who makes it happen not humans. If and economic collapse it will a lot worse than mother nature wiping out life as we know it. And we need population control as well, my belief is that we as humans are out of control and are destroying this planet. But that is another conversation lol.ahovancsakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04968661548031473556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4329599740558461185.post-86564594685571561052012-06-08T20:56:08.102-04:002012-06-08T20:56:08.102-04:00I have 3 options.

So bugging in is option #3. #2 is To head to the next county away from mine. (about 100 miles)My sis in law has some land and a small house in a rural area, which is currently occupied by renters, who are also preppers. But the house is small, so that would be my option if I had a little time to get away. My #1 option is the hardest. I live 400 miles away from my side of the family, but there are a lot of members of my family who are knowledgable about surviving without the luxuries of life. I hope shtf slowly, just enough that I know it's going down, but enough to give me time to gather my goods and my in laws and make the nearly 7 hour drive. I know the chances are slim that I will be so fortunate, but I can hope.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4329599740558461185.post-71315207736612610042012-06-07T22:08:34.733-04:002012-06-07T22:08:34.733-04:00True topic.

A lot of the romance that has sprung up around this lifestyle and mindset is around the bug out option and striking out along the open, 'Walking Dead' style roads; searching for peace and safety. <br />Reality says that doing that is most likely suicide unless you're with a group of friends who are also trained SEALs...<br />I plan to bug us in unless it's a nuclear issue; we live in a zone 1 so we're within the critical zone should something drastic happen to the reactor. Other than a meltdown, we'll be staying put on our very well known and quite dead-ended cul-de-sac.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4329599740558461185.post-79137843119386680112012-06-07T12:28:30.473-04:002012-06-07T12:28:30.473-04:00Good article!

However, I also have two (2) duplicate "bug out" bags (1 at home and the 2nd in my main vehicle) in the event I need to leave. NOTE: I live within 2 hours of nuclear power plants. It was stated very correctly in this article that the decisions to stay or leave will depend on the situation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
