Your bug out plan - From City.

[Irving]

EMP when I'm away from home at all is the my concern. I've got a bag in my truck, but I sure as heck don't look forward to carrying it for the HOURS it would take me to get the 25+ miles home. Hell, it could take more than one day and I don't even have any food. Not to mention I'd have to go get my kid, who is another 5 miles each way in the wrong direction. Instant economic collapse would be a real nightmare.

I have a friend who has 4 bikes locked up through out the city, just so he can get home faster, dont know if its practical but a thought at least.

I already live very rural, so all my family needs to do is hunker down and wait for all the sheeple to kill each other. Should take about a month or two, and we're prepared for much longer. If there's no compelling need to bug out, we won't. If there is and we must move, we'll head to some other prearranged rural property with other like minded and well trained and equipped families. We have it all planned out to a great level of detail.

Bottom line here is have a plan, be prepared, and you'll be better off than 99% of the sheeple who don't.

Agree here 100% Irving. I used to think "I'll just head out to my father-in-law's rural house and land, no problem." I planned with my wife that if things got that bad that fast, we had a meeting point...I wouldn't try to go get her.

But now, I'm a Dad. Will I be able to get to my daughter? That scares the shit out of me.

And even worse, I travel for work out of state darn near every week. It wouldn't take something as bad as an EMP to shutdown flights. We know that from experience. ANY crisis or SHTF event could trigger a shutdown of the skies...

Based on how many days I travel, I have better than a 33% chance of NOT being home on the day things fall apart. How can I protect my daughter if I am in Oregon or Washington with no way home? The answer, I can't and need a new job.

I like the Idea of a fairly wooded area and a plateau or mesa out on the plains. I'd be more worried about other (looters) or the GOV (looters) coming to take what you have. It would be easier to see you on the plains but it would be easy to see them as well. Plenty of antelope and rabbit, fertile soil to grow for the long term. Some areas in eastern NM would be ideal for this purpose. minus the water situation.

This if I have to leave, but i'm almost sure that the GOV would force me to leave, either by evac or threat.

Well, I live in the mountains already with plenty of wild game readily available and lake water only two or three miles away. Would probably be a really good place in the event of the SHTF situation however since I'm going to be 75 years of age in just a couple months, at my age, I NOW have the SHTF/survival stuff at an extremely low priority. I just want to survive right here on my own property, without a lot of survival preparations, for at least a few more years (given our present shitty economy and world situation).

What he said, had a herd of about 70-80 Elk come by last week. Raise rabbits, have 2 wells.

[brokenscout]

I have 52 acres that borders BLM & State Land 5 miles of I-25 in the mountains that has a well and 2 ponds, i've either been giving GPS Cords to friends and familiy and having them learn where it it is on a map. Plus it is only 18 miles from my home(40 acres in the mountains) taking the back roads

Hey brokenscout, if/when the SHTF does happen (that is IF I'm still above the sod at that time), and I run out of rabbit, squirrel and turkeys, I'll maybe get to harvest one of the elk out of that herd (we can easily share if you will help clean/butcher it).

I think it will be hard to run out down here, but that sounds like a plan. We still need to get together down here. Jordan is supose to come down.
