    Default Bug out in progress

    Ok here's the deal You co-ar board member have everything packed and you are on the road. BOL is area X 1/2 way there the 2 lane road you're on is jammed tighter than, well you figure it out. What's plan B. Do you hump it on foot say the 20ish miles over moderate to rough terrain, dealing with everyone else, not to mention the newly formed pack of predators? Is everyone in your party capable of walking that distance, are your shtf items too much to carry, along with all the other shit you now have to leave behind?
    How bad did Plan A got to sh$%^t and can you pause long enough to go to Plan B, OR are you realistically screwed just like everyone else on that road?
    Should you have had better back up plans, stayed home or moved to another area with like minded folks etc, etc.

    Physically i am capable as are the 2 people that would come with me. the dog will run a 5 k anyday of the week and she has her own backpack to carry food and some other supplies if needed.

    IF Plan A goes to shit than it means that i did not beat the main rush out like i need to and it comes back on me. I employ a bag with in a bag concept with the last ditch carry pack weighing in at 50 lbs. no firearms will be left behind in the car but the house will have some leave behinds where i hope for the best.

    predators... I will put up a hell of a fight but it will take some luck. and always more training which i am working on.

    Knowing your stove up Jim what are your plans if you have no other option.

    All areas to the sides of the roads to my BOL are flat.

    I Bug in. That being said I work a long ways from home. My truck is decently capable and I'm a decent driver off terrain. There are only a few select locations where I could not go around any trouble.

    We are standing our ground. My house for some reason has been designated ground zero. This is where everyone who is able will assemble and make preparations to hold for the long haul. Can we, who knows will we, at all cost yes. Everyone involved plays a part regarding the overall success / survival of the group. Why move from secure areas unless it becomes absolutely necessary. What determines that necessity, who knows? Train derailment, gov roundup, hordes of have nots wanting in, etc. If i had a crystal ball to see what we will need to survive, i wouldn't need the internet. I would be the matrix

    I've looked to see how close I can get to my BOL by following rail road tracks. I think only within 50 miles or so.

    I can drive pretty much anywhere, I drive no sissy car and I am locked and winch ready; however depending on the scenario I would stay in until deamed not safe or until the initial idiots have screwed them self and then plot driving across prairie to my heading.
