Prepper’s PING!!
Not having an armored vehicle.
For those of you who don’t know who Selco is he is a Bosinia who survived the seige of Sarajevo.
Here is a link to a old FR post about him and it has other links to more of his post.

Forgetting the mags and ammo
I’m already ‘up and out’ but Selco’s words are spot on.
1. Bugging out means you got somewhere to go...
And having them readily available....
Of late I’m starting to think it is the government which we the people should be preparing to repel AFTER the collapse is orchestrated. Those MRAPs will make excellent urban assault vehicles in burbs decimated by marauders rampaging for food, drinkable water, and weapons. The government nanny will sweep in to take all that can be found stored in the burbs so they can feed their government dependents.
M4L
Not carrying enough water.
Here’s my bugout plan C:
We have 2 miles of open country between our place and:
Cabela’s
Hospital
Water Storage Facility
Those MRAP thingies will have crews. Those crews have addresses and families. So will the folks who are giving the orders.
Just saying....
Stay alert. Be observant. Keep your mouth shut.
When the time comes, act.

Don’t attract attention by wearing brightly colored clothing.
I live in a bug out location.
I will bug out to home.
Our theme song was sung by Hank Williams Jr.
The preacher man says its the end of time
And the Mississippi River shes a goin dry
The interest is up and the Stock Markets down
And you only get mugged
If you go down town
I live back in the woods, you see
A woman and the kids, and the dogs and me
I got a shotgun rifle and a 4-wheel drive
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
I can plow a field all day long
I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn
We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
Aint too many things these ole boys cant do
We grow good ole tomatoes and homemade wine
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
Because you cant starve us out
And you cant makes us run
Cuz we’re them old boys raised on shotgun
And we say grace and we say Maam
And if you aint into that we dont give a damn
We came from the West Virginia coalmines
And the Rocky Mountains and the and the western skies
And we can skin a buck; we can run a trout line
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
I had a good friend in New York City
He never called me by my name, just hillbilly
My grandpa taught me how to live off the land
And his taught him to be a businessman
He used to send me pictures of the Broadway nights
And Id send him some homemade wine
But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife
For 43 dollars my friend lost his life
Id love to spit some beechnut in that dudes eyes
And shoot him with my old 45
Cause a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
Cause you cant starve us out and you cant make us run
Cuz we’re them old boys raised on shotgun
And we say grace and we say Maam
And if you aint into that we dont give a damn
Were from North California and south Alabam
And little towns all around this land
And we can skin a buck; we can run a trot-line
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
“Those MRAP thingies will have crews.”
Something I heard an earlier prepper say: “You gotta get out of the tank to take a dump sometime.”
“Country folks can survive”
I moved to my bug-out location. All the neighbors in the holler are conservative, armed, and practicing self-suffiency. Most have a garden they are working on that are 1/2-1 acre and have animals. I’m not quite there, but will be. There is a creek for water running down the holler - and the holler can be easily blocked off.
I ain’t leaving.
Let the revolution begin.
If you’re still living in a city - or, even if in the country and do not have your own well water, established gardens, cold cellar and canning jars full, laying hens, etc., a wood stove and secure source of wood - and means of protection - you’re too late.
Remember the parable of the bridesmaids - trim your wicks and carry extra oil.
