Fire Danger at Bug Out Location

[rbeau30]

There is no single "safe" place. It will always depend on the situation. In a long term economic collapse, a paid for homestead in the hills would be great. For a short term natural disaster, a hotel a few hours away may be better. It just depends.

And no, I don't have any of this stuff in place yet. Just listening to great advice from different people and figuring it out for myself.

Travel light, have skills that give you an edge over everyone else, practice them, be adaptive. Have a plan, then have 4 more if that plan fails.

Drive East...then head to Wyoming. Least dense population per square mile with lots of wild game and rivers to fish.

I'm bugging-in. I bought a house that had a bomb shelter on the property. I found it by accident putting in a sprinkler system. I'm not sure why the previous owners sealed it up. No leaks, no corrosion, vent stacks are working, even had an NBC filtration system that needed only a new filter and motor. Still had bunks in it, an old but working Heathkit SB-100 HAM radio and antenna kit. 750 sq. ft., 2 ft. thick concrete I believe is reinforced with two entrances (both were buried). I didn't find any bodies, so that isn't the reason, maybe they just thought after the cold war ended that all was ok?

^^^SCORE!^^^

Imagine a fire in the big city with no one to put it out?


There are 60 or so trails in the mountains that require a very modified 4wd to traverse. I would not go to the foothills via main hwys.

up on those trails are abandoned structures and old mines. Good to hide things. It would depend on why type of SHTF scenario and what time of year. Those in the big cities like myself that find the thought of bugging in dangerous. Why I miss sometimes the serenity/hermit living of the country farm. Most of the civilization will be in shock and not know what to do and wait for the government to rescue them.

Yes, have multiple plans and be very adaptive.
