    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.
    I see you running, tell me what your running from

    Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.

    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.

    It looks like I'm in the same lot as most of you; it depends on the situation.

    Like Newracer, if it looks to be a short term situation then I'll hunker down @ home - solidifying my personal defenses here @ home and ensuring I have enough resources at hand in case it lasts longer than expected.

    Nut, like Newracer, if it looks like it will be a long term situation, my family and I will be hooking up with best friends/hunting partners and heading to the mountains. There is a place I used to camp every summer that isn't easy to get into. The back way is difficult, even for 4x4 traffic. The front way into the area has a double choke point that could be easily defended, if need be.

    First choice is to bug in if we can. If we have to leave we are going to a relatives house far from the city.
