When to bug out

In the previous post I described why a lot of bug out plans are poor decision. The key factor in this being that no matter what level skills level you have you cannot tell the future, thus even if you can sustain yourself indefinitely with the wilderness as it is now there is no telling what the condition will be like post SHTF. I believe too many people plan on making a go of it in the woods which will turn the wilderness into a war zone. So when should you bug out? Its probably a good idea if you live in a city but you need to have a plan. If you plan on bugging out you need to have a bug out location. Now unless your building a bunker with 10inch thick steel doors with a complex locking system, chances are someone will be in your bug out location by the time you get there. So if buying remote land and building a bunker is in your prepping budget? Find a close friend or family member that you TRUST with your life and that of your loved ones, literally, that lives in a remote location. Balancing trust, remoteness of location and travel time from your residence. Try to get them into prepping, if they think your crazy try someone else. Convince them that you will be stronger a as a team if SHTF and begin your prepping at their residence. you can stock pile goods, firearms etc. help build a sustainable agriculture system, etc. You may need to foot some of the bill on their prepping but in the end it will be cheaper and more reliable than leaving your bug out location unattended. Remember to make sure they are well trained in defending their home because until you get there they'll be defending your supplies as well.
