Alternatives to a Bugout Location – What You Should Consider

SHTF Plan ^ | 9/24/12 | Holly Deyo

[Kartographer]

Every person will face an ugly new reality when life as we know it vanishes. It’s coming. Soon. It might be a slow crawl decline or a rapid descent into nightmarish conditions. Various scenarios now flit threateningly across the horizon. If we’re brave enough to peer into the abyss, we can see some of these events bordering on fruition. Most are unnerving; some will be paralyzing. Regardless of the fright factor, we must examine individually how to handle these looming crises. When they strike, people without a plan in place, will die.

So what’s lurking about?

[DYngbld]

I'm with you. The safest place for us is at home. I can defend it, it has water, I don't need power, and I have stores and ammo on hand.

We can withstand most scenarios for thirty days. After that, who knows.

[Shady]

You are correct. Appeasement has created the climate for Jihad and it will happen, the Russians and the whole oppressed world wants it...Millions will die.

[cripplecreek]

Any thoughts on leaving the US in the event of an 0bama win with eventual economic and civil strife?

The coming collapse will be global and I personally think the last thing I would want to be is a foreigner in a strange land. Canada might be OK.

I’ve divided my oregano 3-4 times, that plant is wild. I dehydrate a ton of herbs. I haven’t had any ‘sharing’ yet, but when neighbors figure out what they have, I’m sure that will happen. I’ll welcome it with open arms.

[Shady]

Amen. We got your back.

[Indy Pendance]

Likewise, we got yours. Those that are prepared seek out like minded folks. We won’t let the zombies control.

[Kartographer]

It surprised me that you even bothered clicked on at all.

[ladyjane]

65 quarts of...?

[papertyger]

It surprised me you would post something from Holly Deyo...

This is my home and the home of my fathers. Many in my family have died to give me this home.

"In my bag there’s a bible to show me the way, Through my twelfth year on earth and to Heaven some day. I will shoulder my musket and brandish my sword, In defence of this land and the word of the Lord." From the Song: Bright Sunny South

Choose this day how you will serve; Will you serve unwillingly and at the bidding of others wearing the yoke of socialism or will you hold true to the course of our forefathers’ standing tall and serving freely? As for me I choose to SERVE THE REPUBLIC!

I don’t know, did you want to give some input?

There are predators.
And there are prey.

Never expect input from prey. They are too busy with reality shows, puerile 'comedy' shows, the new series of pervert dramas and the latest iPod discussions.

Tomatoes.

“I’m not leaving. We have to fight right here. This is MY country. There’s no place else on earth that I’ll live.”

You got that right.

[papertyger]

I would relish your attempt to take a bite.

Try doing a little research on Holly Deyo and get back to me on your classification strategy.

Mack: Shame what this town's come to.
Charley Waite: You could do something about it.
Mack: What? We're freighters. Ralph here's a shopkeeper.
Charley Waite: You're men, ain't you?
Mack: I didn't raise my boys just to see 'em killed.
Charley Waite: Well you may not know this, but there's things that gnaw at a man worse than dying.

I don't seek death, but my children are grown even some of my grandchildren are. Why would I leave them less than what was left to me. Why would I expect to enjoy that which others sacrificed for and yet not be will to pay my own due to protected it even to the last full measure?

[meatloaf]

That’s my plan. It’s going to be AMF and away.

[Kartographer]

There are also the dumb animals that get caught in the stampede and become carrion for the scavengers.

[driftdiver]

I live on the coast and there are dozens of those within 10 miles or so. I figure if worst comes I can always go find one of those. There’ll be plenty of bad guys on the water as well though.

[driftdiver]

IMO the subject is very important even if the author didn’t handle it as well as we wish. Most of us can’t afford the ultimate bug out. It pays to think through the options.
