I have been thinking about this lately and I think it depends on where your bugout location is located. I myself plan on staying put as I live on 25 acres in the woods and am not visible from the roadway. I have over the last couple of months have collected some supplies when i was out at auctions and fleamarket such as 100' of 4' chain link fencing, about 800+ sand bags empty of course, couple sets of window security bars, good amount of good quality chain, 2 rolls of barbed wire, tons of pad locks, couple sheets of 1/2" thick steel. I figured these supplies could help with some fortifications. Anyone else besides my parnoid self thought of this?
