For example, I recently asked a fellow in his late 30’s what he would do if disaster struck his area.

Relying on emotion instead of logic can make for some interesting adventures however without sound planning beforehand those adventures are likely to be sort lived. That’s the way decisions should be made, unfortunately, many people when making plans for survival side with emotion (that emotion being to run and hide) instead of the more tried and true form of decision-making known as logic. hunkering down and make your final decision based on logic and type of threat. You need to weigh the risks of bugging out vs. I know what you’re thinking “what about an end of the world as we know it” type event, well if such an event were to take place, there would be no 100% safe place for most of us, and really do you think you would be better of making a go of it in the open wilderness as opposed to hunkering down at home.ĭon’t get me wrong, I’m not saying we should never bug out to the wilderness we should indeed keep all our options open, what I am saying is that there are better ways to survive most disasters than heading into the bush. Even then, I would go to an out-of-state relatives house with whom, I have a pre-arranged agreement, where if need be he can come to my place or me to his after a disaster. I live in a fairly safe area and have prepared to survive at home and can conceive of only a few scenarios that would force me to leave. I mean, why leave the safety and familiar surroundings of your home, for the open and unforgiving wilderness.įor many people this is their first line of preparation against disaster, unfortunately, most will end up joining the multitude of other refugees freezing in a cave and eventually end up dead or wards of whatever government is still functioning.

The very idea of leaving the security of your home to “bug out” to the woods has never sat well with me – In nearly every instance it’s better to hunker down or “bug in” than to bug out.
