Good post. For 90+% of the time bugging in is the option to go to. Bugging out needs to be properly assessed against a threat evaluation that would require it. One guy on ‘doomsday peppers’ put it well - “When the S hits the fan, you don’t want to stand in front of the fan”.
Essentially, if you live in hurricane, flood or forest fire country for example, you better have a good bug out plan and preps. Top of that list is having a place identified to go to. Second is having back roads and alternative routes. Main highways become parking lots in mass evacuations. And third - don’t forget your pets. Too many get left behind to fend for themselves.
That reminds me of the First two seasons of Walking Dead. The Interstate Highway leaving out of Atlanta Georgia where jammed tight with abandoned vehicles and “Walkers” eating people who couldn’t get away.
...and hope someone hasn't beat you to it first!
Welcome to FreeRepublic.
Thank you. Prepping as a liveaboard is kind of a nautical offshoot of the subject.
What do you do for fresh water?
Lots of tankage and use the mainsail to catch rain. Instead of raising it all the way you leave a pounch at the bottom, all the rain that hits that square yardage comes out the end of the boom like a gusher, conduct it by bucket usually. Anchored out bring water with every trip to stay topped up. I also scavenge likely looking wood/driftwood for fuel, have a little wood locker, use that in the grill.
Keep your gas tank half full at all times.
Always carry a stack of detailed paper printed maps in your vehicle to find the back way out of a situation. Stock maps not just of your city but of the suburbs, the county and surrounding counties. These maps will not be found at the corner convenience store so you’ll have to do a net search for them or find them at some tourist info centers. Update them every few years but keep the old ones in case the new ones don’t show ALL the back roads.
Good idea. Where are you at? Roughly
Guaranteed most will starve if the power is out and their electric can opener won’t work. If they even own a can opener or have anything in their kitchen than leftover take out. Most of those who manage to get the can open will starve because they’d be too afraid to eat canned corn without heating it. And most of those who throw caution to the wind and decide chance eating the canned corn will drain the liquid down the sink first. Guaranteed, the vast majority of the zombies will do themselves in before they get outside their immediate neighborhood.

Wow, you know it’s bad when Ronald McDonald has to go to a shelter.
I never did understand why a few years ago it was all bug out this and bug out that. I’m staying put as long as possible. I’ve asked for years where the heck people are stashing their caches and have yet to get an answer. Unless you happen to live next door to government land, the land is privately owned so you’re going to get shot stashing or retrieving your stuff. Bugging out down a road makes you an easy target. Hiking off across someone’s property is also going to get you shot.
Good thing the photographer had a flash on his camera or dad wouldn’t be able to read his newspaper.
Extreme hot and cold temps in a garage will quickly deteriorate that food.
Prop the first guy out by the road with a bottle of bbq sauce. That should send the message.
We would have a very good standard of living in this big house (not the townhouse) for about a month before food ran out. A lake is within easy walking distance to have water - have fine Berkey to sanitize the water. Actual living conditions would be good at this location due to we have a big bus RV, looks like a greyhound bus, it's that big. It is kept full of water and gas and has a generator and is kept on trickle charge so it will always be ready to roll or to stay here to have the water, generator to run its cooling if its major hot in the house, so go to bus to sleep, cook, whatever.
With all that good stuff in two houses, a big house and a townhouse, HERE'S A QUESTION I HAVE ABOUT THIS BIG HOUSE:
This house is in an upscale neighborhood. There is one upscale condo group, very new, about a mile away and no regular apartment building(s) within several miles due to the high cost of building in this upscale area. There is no substandard housing here and no place for poor people to live. This area is mostly white and if other races live here, they have to be fairly wealthy. Houses are half a million dollars and up, a lot up to a million and more.
There is no inner city mob bad guys in this area. They would have to come from another location as far as at least 15 miles away in all directions from here. Naturally, the largest inner city mob bad guys would be in Dallas, twenty miles away and from there to here is city, just the town names change. There are many thousands of homes from there to here. I don't think they could make it here before they stopped or were killed.
So, the main question is, present mob bad guys wouldn't get here, but would the upscale people here turn into a type of inner city mob bad guys and attack their upscale neighbor(s) when they realize the neighbor(s) isn't/aren't dying like they are?
I sit in this fancy house in this fancy area and wonder how secure it is among it's fancy neighbors. This being Texas, I'm sure they all have guns. Would they use them on me and other fancy neighbors to stay alive?
Good article.
Some did but the vast majority stayed behind because they were too stupid to take heed of the advanced warnings.
That’s a big Chihuahua.
