In the beginning of this post it states “If you waited for the government to issue an evacuation notice, it’s probably too late.”

Based on the bias of the various news media controlled by the government, you may want to listen to the BBC and other ‘external’ news sources to get a different, and I find a more holistic perspective as to how the USA is being perceived and what is going on within the country. There is a lot of re-direction that gets reported in the USA news to keep what some may consider critical information as to current events ‘less publicized’ and some misinformation is not unheard of either. Out-of-sight is out-of-mind and if you are only being told about ‘the neighbors cat getting rescued by the fire department’ rather than new activities and progress toward eliminating individual freedoms are unknowingly being forced down the proverbial throats…

Yes, I mention the USA because that is where I live, and if you are in a different country, I am not familiar with any censorship that may occur where you are, but having an external ‘news source’ to provide an alternative perspective as to what is going on IMHO is still a good idea regardless where you live.

In reply to Mike414. i am assuming you may be correct. idk where are all the others bugging out to anyways? i think there all going to the in the middle of nowhere. unless i can come up with a small militia and some property in nowhere, looks like im staying put as well. maybe ill consider going to the city when shtf and forage through all what everyone left behind. it might just be safer as well. i believe in being prepared, but what is the right thing to do?

I have a question for everyone. I am new to this but what I do know is if the power grid fails after ten days every nuke plant in the world will go Fukushima what’s the point of being prepared if the only habitable place on earth is Antarctica. Not trying to start a fight just curious.

We are slowly bugging in. We live on the high spot of the county in the country. Slowly upgrading our house, barn, machine shed, shop, solar, wind, plus adding to our stores. If it ever happens your upgrading is over, plus they don’t make a bag big enough or a truck long enough.

I already live in the country so there is no place for me to go. I’m too old to be a grunt anymore so we have pretty much concentrated on stockpiles of defense and survival things and told our children to make their way to us in a disaster. Most people are not prepared for any type of disaster.

You’ve got to be ready to go Now. With as little downtime as possible getting ready. I also recommend having designated rally points for those you want to meet up with – family and friends for example.

I think the point isn’t about living in the city vs. the country, its about being able to pick up and go from wherever you are. I too, live in a very small town in the middle of nowhere, with a very close community. If at all possible, I’m staying put. But… what IF you HAD to leave? For example, consider a raging forest fire, bearing down on your area. Or mudslides? Or who knows what? You should still have some plan B to get out and go somewhere else if you absolutely had to. I’ve had to evacuate due to flooding years ago, in my old place. Sometimes you have no choice but to leave, and not having that plan B is foolish, no matter where you live. As unlikely as it may be for some people, the idea of relocation should be in the plan, somewhere. I know. I’ve been through it.

I can relate to folks who live in the city,this is a very important consideration.My husband and I have been blessed that we are 60 mi. from the nearest large city and 25 mi. from the nearest interstate or smaller city.
We have animals that can’t handle bugging out,my husband of 78,heart bypass patient,isn’t walking to far and where would we go.
We have our gens,rv propane frig,water out the wazoo,ammo and we are on 5 ac. with some? like minded people around us.
Beyond that all we can do is pray!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God Bless to all
