Primary plan:

[68Charger]

Trying the poll feature for the first time- bear with me...

basically, what's your primary plan?
I realize that this could change, based on the scenario- but what's your primary plan, and why?

Bug out- wilderness
Bug out- safe area
Bug in- hunker down & ride it out
Loot/rob- i.e. take over the closest Walmart & make it your base of operations

For me it would be bunker down in place. The why being, closest relatives are over 1K miles away. Bugging out that far in a SHTF would be horrible on the logistical scale.

Would depend on the situation. If Denver was hit (nuke) by something I'd probably bug out, if it was something similar to 9/11 I'd probably stay put and ride it out. I'll put this out there as well:

Have predetermined meeting places. Since I live away from my family, should we decide to leave, we all know where to, and we have a backup to that.

ETA:

I'd prefer to stay in. The majority of my supplies are at home, I know the layout of surrounding area, I know where I can get supplies easily, and I have a better plan of how to defend it should the need arise. I think bugging out should be the option when your primary location (home) is compromised to the point where an unfamiliar place with limited resources is the best option.

Bug in if I can, do not want to live off the land with 3 small kids. If we have to bug out, we have a southwest location and a northwest location planned depening on duration and location of event.

We also have several meeting points along the way because we do not assume we are at the same location when an event happens.

Depends on the situation.

If I feel it is going to be a relativly short problem, like a natural disaster, I will stay put and ride it out.

If it is a long term serious situation I am heading for my brother in laws place in the mountains.

As said it depends. For me it took some time before I felt I had enough for a year. Once that was set then the Bug out plan came together but that took time as well.

As everyone else has already said... it depends on the situation. if the city is in chaos, staying there doesn't make a lot of sense. If there is a zombie apocalypse (so to speak), the city is the last place you want to be.

I think heading for the hills should be a last resort. (Last resort = this is the only option left in order to survive.)

well said, for those that live in the City.. I don't

so when the cities turn into a "zombie apocalypse", I'm concerned that some will bug out, but won't go full-on wilderness, so they'll be showing up in my neighborhood... I believe how to deal with that has to be part of my plan, and defense prepared for those who couldn't take over the Walmart, and think a small ranch would be a good choice instead..

This will certainly be an issue for those in the city, too- those that say "I have a gun, my neighbors don't" will become looters when they run out of supplies.

I live in an apartment that is not suited to any kind of bugging out (okay it has a fire place). I think once I have a home, I will kind of set up to stay there. Otherwise, I don't really have a place to go.
