\"Bugout<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When things go bad, having a dedicated bug out location or survival shelter can really help put your mind at ease. Not only will you have a place to go, far from the chaos and dangers associated with urban survival, but you will also have a place where you can safely store backup supplies and equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bug Out Location Checklist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of the top considerations that you need to keep in mind when looking for the ultimate bug out property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Distance should be a big Factor in Choosing a Bug Out Location<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to buying a survival retreat or bug out location, location really is the key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How far is the land from your current location, and are you able to safely make it there during a crisis?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re purchasing a piece of property to serve as a bug out location, then you really need to consider how far that property is from your current home. Unless you have a good refueling plan, you need to really think about any piece of property that you can’t make it to on a single tank of gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While having a bug out location far from the danger zone is important, making sure you can safely get there during a time of crisis is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How far is the land from high-density population areas?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking for a full-time survival retreat, distance isn’t really a problem. In fact, I would think the farther you can get away from the major cities, the better off you’ll be during a major collapse or SHTF situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Population Density<\/strong> – During a crisis situation, areas with the highest population densities will experience the most crime, the most social unrest, the highest likelihood for epidemics, and the highest death tolls due to lack of resources and sanitation.  When choosing a bug out location or survival retreat, we suggest staying as far away from high-density population areas as possible<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Water Availability & Water Sources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A good reliable water source is one of the most important considerations when choosing a bug out retreat. From fresh water springs and rivers to underground well water, the need for a clean and renewable water source is the number one factor to consider when looking for survival properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
