Fire Danger at Bug Out Location

[SuperiorDG]

I was just wondering if the recent fires has anyone rethinking their bug out location? If it were to come a time to bug out most likely society has fallen a part. If this is the case can you imagine what the fire danger would be like without fire fighter and the like to protect our forest. I think the forests would be a bad place to set up a long time bug out site. With no one to stop it one or two fires and the whole forest is gone. Any thoughts?

I'm sitting in my bug out location watching TV. I don't see any sense in leaving my stuff unless there's no choice.

Yea I'm a bug in person myself as well. Fire being one of the reasons I would not be going to the mountains.

I envy the solitude of those that live in the mountains. I hope this Summer goes well in terms of fire prevention...

Don't forget the traffic jams with everyone who thinks the mountains will be the place to go. One stalled or broke down vehicle and you're on foot.
This area is bug in central.

Agreed... Plus.

Everyone camps in the mountains for recreation. So therefore everyone fleeing the city will go "to the places where they feel safe" those who aren't preppers and forced out of thier homes will undoubtedly try to make it to "The Campground they always go to in the summer, Etc, Etc."

Plus what if you did make it up there with all those yahoos? All those inexperienced folks trying to build a campfire without a Forest Service Fire Pit in place... The whole mountain range will go up un flames.

When I had a place in South Florida, the typical hurricane evac destination was GA. If you think Walmart offers a broad cross section of society, you have not seen what a massive evacuation for a disaster looks like.... People, at their worst. Cranky, intoxicated, up until 4am having domestic disputes, Etc.

If the masses head for the hills, I'm headed for Kansas!

exactly... plus I always envision "check points".. it would be very easy to stop I70..

all my bug out locations go the other direction...

In the event of a mass exodus from the city, people living in the hills should just back burn toward the lowlanders to keep the people out.

No way that could go wrong...
