it’s sad I have to teach my kids to defend and live off the land. I suspect it might be needed.
A lot harder for us city dwellers that don’t have the resources to have a bug out plan I gues we could go up into the local mountains but im sure we would not be the only ones if we had the bucks id get a nice Trawler or sailboat with water making capabilities and stock the hell out of it with dinty moore stew and fishing eq. and bug out to the lee side of some of our channel Islands here in so cal only thing id have to knock over a pharmacy for all our meds well at least for me and my live in mother in law maybe some xanax since i don’t drink anymore oh crap dog food too and dog pads good lord time to pray
we bugged outof the cities about 3 years ago. we are on a lake with a large DNR preserve near by.
I drive 25-50 miles for my various job sites. I think it is WELL worth it.
When the poop hits the fan, I’ll have advance notice however I still feel to close to the cities.
There are resources and then there are resources. It all in who's doing them and for what. No size fits all. Stock up on the canned goods that your family already eats is an easy start. When at the grocery store, pick up a few extra cans. Doing that won't break the bank and before long you'll have a decent storage that will get you by a few weeks or months.
The problem with bugging out is you're leaving the safety of your home. You'll likely be without shelter. You wouldn't be able to take all your supplies with you. You may be going to the unknown whereas at home you know your neighborhood and town. Being on the road might get you killed. Others will be headed the same direction as you and will be scraping up everything in sight leaving nothing for you. Depending on the situation, buggin in might be best.
