Why You Must Bug Out.






Bugging out is a choice, but whether or not it is the right choice is not your call. In fact, the reason so many fine citizens of this great county think that bugging in is a viable option. But the reality is that bugging in is nothing more that maintaining the marauder's supply chain. If you don't bug out, you will be a target with your apparent hardness marking your place in line.


As much as I wish I could dig in with my neighbors, I also know that starving kids and well-armed survivalists will threaten my existence and that of all those around me. The only options will be to disappear for a month or so. Yup. You must go all lone wolf or you will be killed. At least for a while.

So how do I know this? Simple math. There are far too many over-prepared single men who have informally and formally banded together with a pact and a plan for the future. If nothing goes bad and the world remains with the rule of law, then this is all a non-issue. But the moment breakdown and darkness arrive, they are ready to go, magazines loaded, weapons in the truck, and a list of targets is as thick as the phone book. Well, actually it is the phone book.




So what's the advice this week? Simple. There will be a demise of law and order. There will be darkness. There are marauders ready to go, and you won't be able to fight them off. Luckily they will hang out in the feed trough we call neighborhoods.

The basic truth is that you won't have a second chance to bug out. If you don't hit the road to your bug out location going off grid for a month or so, you will be a target, and you will loose the war. You can only shoot out of your house windows for so long before you are on fire along with the rest of your home and family.

So plan all you want to bug in, but be ready to bug out. If a simple storm or power outage  sneaks up, you can shelter in place. But when it's the real deal, you gotta get out of Dodge. Otherwise you will be nothing more than a store clerk waiting for customers.
