THIS Is How You Make Real Bugout Plans

In today’s post we’re going to go over how to put together a realistic bug out plan. “Bugging out” seems to be on practically every preppers mind nowadays and honestly, a lot of the discussion and commentary that’s out there is just getting downright ridiculous. Today we’re going to take a practical look at what bugging out should mean to you, how to devise multiple REALISTIC bugout plans, and why you should be spending a lot less time worrying about the big Doomsday bugout.

The other day, I just happened to catch the tail end of a “Doomsday Preppers” episode. Unless I’m looking for a cheap laugh, I tend to stay away from this show altogether because it honestly paints the preparedness community in a horrible light, provides really dumb and even dangerous information and advice and isn’t even that entertaining. That being said, I made a point to count how many times the words “bug out” were used in the short time I watched it. (I also had a good laugh at the guy who ordered the mail-order bride to help him prep lol)

43….They used the term “bug out” 43 times in the matter of like 15 minutes. O.K. seriously, this is just getting silly. I don’t know where this whole bugout obsession came from within the preparedness community, but it seems to me like everywhere you look, people are talking about bugout plans, bugout bags, bugout vehicles, bugout locations, bug out this, bug out that. I swear, I don’t know where this idea of “refugee-ism” comes from, but I’m hoping this article will change a few perspectives about this issue today and maybe even set a few people down the road of practical preparedness.

Let’s get this out of the way first. Bugging out can be absolutely necessary in a lot of disaster scenarios and a bugout plan and bugout bags/supplies/etc. NEED to be a part of your preps. It IS important. Notice however, that I said a PART of your preps. Please keep in mind that stuffing a bunch of stuff in a backpack and slinging an AR over your shoulder doesn’t make you a prepper. It may make you “prepared” (not really) for that one in a million Hollywood “ZOMG the ZOMBIES!!!” scenario people seem to be obsessed with, but it’s not exactly going to be much help during a house fire, a flood or any number of realistic disaster scenarios.
