5 Reasons Why Bugging Out is probably the Worst Thing You Can Do if the SHTF
So, you’ve been getting into preparedness for a little while now and you’ve finally completed that big, heavy bug out bag and you’re ready to flee from the ensuing hordes of mutant biker gangs and suburban apocalyptic raiders. Now, you’re probably thinking; “what’s next?”
First and foremost, putting together a bugout bag has gotten far too much publicity in the preparedness world in my opinion. Simply for the fact that, for many of us, bugging out is probably one of the last things you should be doing in a disaster situation. Here are 5 reasons why bugging out doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, we’ll call them the 5 S’s
Sustenance
If you’ve been of the preparedness mindset for any length of time, you’ve probably a lot of food stored up at your residence. Canned foods, MRE’s, freeze dried foods, etc. etc. This stuff isn’t light. As an experiment, gather together 72 hours of food and water (about 6,000 calories and about 3 gallons of water minimum) and then stuff it all into a backpack or even a hiking pack.
How heavy is that pack? Now, put all your other bugout gear in there. Defensive tools, clothing (just the essentials). You’re probably looking at a very big, 60 pound+ pack. Now do the same thing for the rest of your family. For the average person, you’ve now got about 240 pounds of gear you need to get to your bugout location.
Security
One of the biggest drawbacks to bugging out is that you’ve lost your 1st measure of defense; Walls. When you are on the move, you are visible, people can see how many people are in your group, they can often times see your gear, and you simply become a target for anyone that decides they want what you have.
In a real disaster scenario, it isn’t about playing Rambo and fighting through hordes of raiders to get to some bug-out location mecca. It’s about staying alive and thriving while the usual systems of modern life are down. Bugging in allows you to not only be next to all your preps, but it eliminates 90% of all the confrontations you’ll encounter in a disaster. Defending a doorway and a few windows is much easier than trying to outrun hungry survivors.
