5 Reasons Why You May have to Bug Out Even Though You Don’t Want to
One of the most hotly argued points in the prepping community is whether it is advisable to “shelter in place” or stay in your home or bug out when there is an emergency. Many preppers would readily choose to shelter in place to be close to their emergency supplies. Staying put would also be easier if you have no bug out retreat or destination. I say it really depends on the type of disaster you are facing, so there is no definite answer to the shelter in place versus bugging out question. Even though we would all rather stay at home, there are five reasons you may have to bug out:
1. Natural disaster in your immediate region. When hurricanes approach, people are asked to evacuate if they are in the direct path of the storm. We’ve seen from previous disasters that in some cases, people in the worst hit areas who decided to stay put and become stranded and drowned.
2. Fire approaching. If you live in an area prone to wildfires, and one is headed in your direction, you will be asked to evacuate. Authorities go around the neighborhood announcing the threat and give residents about 15 minutes to pack up belongings and head out.
3. Industrial accident causing chemical spills, poisonous emissions or nuclear disaster. We’ve all heard about the recent anniversary of the Fukushima, Japan earthquake and many of the areas affected have still not recovered.
In Houston, certain neighborhoods that are close to industrial sites have been affected by chemical spills and noxious gases. In some cases, these neighborhoods have been evacuated. Residents are able to return only after the “all clear” has been issued. If you live in an area that can potentially be affected by these short term emergencies, have your go-bag ready and in a handy place at all times.
4. Infrastructure has widespread damage. If you live in an area that was hit by a disaster and has no electricity or water, with no estimate on when the fix will be made, you may want to get out and stay with relatives or friends for a while if you can. If there is no water for a long period of time, sanitation will become compromised. Similarly, if you live in an area where it gets hot or cold enough to endanger your health, and there is no power to make the house liveable, then you will be forced to leave the area.
5. Post disaster, widespread looting/crime with no law enforcement available. If you decided to stay put during a disaster but later find that there is no longer any “rule of law” being enforced in the area, then it will become too dangerous to stick around. You may want to stay and defend what’s yours but if there is a risk you become overrun by a greater number, then you must consider bugging out.
No one wishes for any of these situations to happen, but the possibility exists. The choice whether to stay put or bug out is entirely personal and will change according to circumstances. Picturing various scenarios and what you would do in each one will help you make your own decision when the time comes.

And go WHERE? You don’t think neighboring towns will be waiting with open arms for mass hoards of ‘bug out’ losers who weren’t smart enough to remove themselves from harms way when they had the chance? Here’s how it’s going to work; you bug out, you get killed by animalistic hoards of other people running for their lives. The few that do survive get shot when they reach the country. Stay where you are – you and your backpack won’t be welcome anywhere unless you’re a hot, single woman or a doctor.
GOT MY AK FOOD GO WHERE

Living in Britain in rented accommodation my survival approach has to be different but I have adapted my plans accordingly. I can’t stock up because in rented accommodation I’ll be kicked out when the SHTF and I’d lose the whole stash, and in such a small country as Britain there is nowhere out of the way to bug-out to, so I expect to live out of my bug-out bag, in woodlands, for quite a long time. It may be a couple of years before I’m ready to approach other people.
I have the means to catch food and purify water, and in a lawless society I shall behave like a soldier behind enemy lines. Too few Brits are prepared and many will resort to murder and theft.
@MICK Sound plan do you realize how hard that will be? Im ex forces and have the same plan I have good kit and training (still learning new skills) and yet I give myself a 50/50 chance of survival for the first year.
