If the SHTF...I live in a rural subdivision and have a bug out location about 30 miles away in the Front Range NW of Denver.
If we have to relo to the bug out site which has natural water supply and acreage around the house, what is the best way to move our supplies of food and hardware?
Do you prepack things in 5gal buckets and plastic tote boxes? We have an SUV and car that we can pack.
Our first plan would be to shelter in place and only relo if water and electricity was cut off.
Thoughts?
I’m thinking, unless it’s a chem/bio attack, that it would be good to simply bug out when there’s word that we’ll default on some of our debt or the European economy is collapsing or some nasty virus is spreading in the city. By the time your utilities are cut off, everyone might be jamming the roads trying to get out.
I'll tell you what I would do, Kartographer surely might do differently.
Right now, I'd put half or more of the storage at BO location. Then, if SHTF, right then I'd take the rest and head for BO location and stay there (instead of house), to see what happened.
I wouldn't stay at the house at all if SHTF because you might not be able to get to BO location later and having water at BO location makes it the place to be fast. You are taking a gamble on water if you stay at house. I wouldn't do that.
It sounds like your bug out location is close to where I live!
I would get some of those big, flag plastic containers such as can be found at Walmart, etc. Those will stack better than buckets. The plastic buckets are really for storing food ... and I would still use those for food.
