I plan to ‘bug-in’, but have a fall back plan to another location not far away were we can lay low and out of the way.

Not enough ways out of town that won’t be clogged for one thing.

Luck both good and bad always has something to do with every survival situation.

I’m going to write a blog post about this, but recently a ‘survival expert’ criticized me for not having three routes out of town and three modes of transportation. Idiot. Well, I know more than three routes out of Phoenix, but guess what? There are only like four or five and every one of them leads into the desert and none of them are ‘secret’.

Transportation: walking, bicycling, and our trucks. Well, how far will a family of four get in a desert that stretches for 100-200 miles? Bicyling? Just as stupid. So we’re down to our trucks, which was his original criticism — needing THREE modes. These experts have a cookie cutter approach to who’s going to survive and who isn’t, and what may work for him in his lush survival retreat with gravity fed springs, orchards and blah blah blah, isn’t the reality for 90% of the country.

My guess is that Ferfal is responding to James Rawles announcement about bugging out to Idaho, Montana and eastern Oregon and Washington. I thought his post about that was over the top but I guess time will tell.
