They said bugging in is stupid
« on: March 12, 2015, 09:25:33 PM »
A youtube by "Canadian Preppers" said if you bug in your stupid and close minded.  :pissed:The moderator was condensending through out the whole video and gave three reasons why you would bug in but left out the most important and necessary ones. That being those who are two old or handicapped to bug out. People who live in cities should bug out but it is not absolutly necessary for suburbans or rurals to bug out.
What is your opinions I would like to know?

Making a blanket statement is stupid. What is right for one may not be right for another NOT ALL.

What shite is this? Adapt to the situation. Nobody knows how events will play out if they even play out at all.

I agree that this blanket statement is pretty narrowsighted.

I have always found it slightly perplexing that there are Preppers that are stuck in a bit of tunnel vision.

For our family, we prep with flexibility in mind. We plan on bugging in while having the ability to bug out.

As has been said, we cannot really predict exactly what is going to happen. So our mindset is to be prepared to react to what Murphy wishes to throw at us.

Now I realise that gearing up to be able to bug in and big out may seem to be complicated. Yet we have found that in reality it is not so.

As a matter of fact it has brought areal sense of peace of mind. We use our gear and preps in our facility life also. We've camping a great deal as a vacation.

If you have a place you can secure and will provide for you, stay. If you don't, plan on going somewhere more secure, but be sure it's "your" place or you are welcome to be there.

The problem I see with a lot of these "bug out" plans people like to talk about is they don't have a place "they own" to go to or a clue where to go. They're just heading out "somewhere, anywhere" out of the "city" to a state park, open land, woods, mountains etc. etc.... They seem to think they can just head out and they'll be welcome, regardless of who "owns" it. Maybe they think everybody else is leaving like them and they'll just "move in", I dunno and don't understand that thinking.

Well, those of us who have a place/land or a bol we "own" are gonna secure it and protect it and our family at all costs. I see all these "nomads" as a security risk and well........ good luck with that.

Brat, you need to make up the sign to go just below that one.  The one that says-- and probably in sights.

Regarding the intitial post, what do you do if life does not give you anywhere to bug out to?  I saw nothing regarding that in the post we are commenting on.

To offset this a bit one should take a quick read of the post started by rah45 about the "Golden Horde".  If you ask most people who are not actively prepping or who are not prepping at all what they will do if "something" happens, the first reaction most have is "GET -OUT". If everyone is getting out it may be quite difficult to get to even a well planned bug out location. Bugging in may be the best option even if only short term.  Flexibility is the key!

CJS06 is right on!

Figure out now who in your community is on board.
Figure out choking points to keep folks out.
Meet regularly with like minded folks from your community. Meet once every month or at least every other month to talk about strategies.
