Unless your home is in danger of being destroyed or an airborne disease is sweeping through your town, you’re better off staying at home than bugging out.
It’s more comfortable, all your supplies are there, and as long as you have plenty of home security measures in place, you should have no trouble riding out a disaster.
But just because you’re better off at home doesn’t mean you’ll be perfectly safe. You need to be aware of what’s going on in your area, know when it’s time to give up and bug out, and have the training and knowledge to deal with unexpected situations.
If you’re careless, bugging in could be just as dangerous as bugging out. In this article, Survivopedia offers five examples of bug in mistakes that could cost you your life. Follow the link below to check it out.
A good article; a shame more people aren’t as practical. With all the flooding in Europe now – the Uk last year, government attitudes toward survival and cleanup are mixed after natural disasters and who knows what they would be like if conditions were worse. Be prepared for the most simple scenario – long term power outages – with alternative forms of light, cooking stoves and warmth. Matches in water- proof containers and cheap lighters are good but do have a small flint available and learn to make fire with friction; unfortunately I’m terrible at this!
Love your site.
Great information.
