I prefer the concept of "bugging-in" versus "bugging-out".....typically tis advisable to stay in familiar territory if possible - in my opinion rural locations may be preferable. We have a "Getaway" place, but we have been there for several years now and if push comes to shove and it can be done safely, we will "bug-in" at our Getaway place which is basically already prepped and ready to go - it will be our home one day regardless, but it also is sort of an "insurance policy" - just as having a generator is.

This is a helpful article - thanks.

I'm of a like mind regarding bugging in, but recognize the wide range of persons and families and situations out there.

Single, love camping, know people in the countryside, but live in NYC; bugging out probably makes more sense, before full chaos kicks in, if a prolonged event.

I'm glad you have a setup and a place to call home and defend if necessary.

I also appreciate your comment. Next articles will transition from the theoretical to the practical.

Well - NYC could turn into a "serious jungle" no doubt, but I suspect those who reside there - most of them don't want a complete breakdown of societal structure and those that choose to harm others will likely be eliminated first for those who choose to stand and defend.

Still, all things equal, we have a home in the suburbs in Charlotte, NC and I know my neighbors and they know me (they know the type of person I am), and if necessary we could bug-in here as well, but I'd just assume get to the Getaway place for many reasons.

I look forward to your future articles and I really appreciate your professionalism in presenting good info.

Regards,

Ken
