Re: Time To Think About Bugging Out.
You can't just bug out. You need to have a stable, long-term destination, and if shit goes bad, it probably needs to be outside the US. Our supply chains are so thin and untested in crisis that, even in an otherwise safe rural area, food security can become an issue.

I've spent a lot of time looking at options. Except for Costa Rica and Belize, Central and South American countries all have issues. Belize has the best immigration options and English is primary language. It's pretty cheap,but the economy is shit, so you better have some dough.

The best option right now, believe it or not, is Russia. Russia has created a welcoming immigration policy. It's a pain in the ass to get a visa, but once you are there, they have set up a straightforward process for citizenship.

They are also culturally quite conservative, so they will be better placed to handle any tumult. Where the US is just entering an extended crisis phase, Russia already endured that and is probably well-positioned for long-term growth. They also have the best mathematical minds in the world.

EDIT: Also 13% flat tax in Russia.

Re: Time To Think About Bugging Out.
I assume gun battles will start in the next day or 2. Just a matter of time. When the news starts reporting injuries and deaths from gunshots that's when its time to start panicking and bugging out if you can't protect your property. There will be many deaths on both sides. It will seem like a civil war but wont be officially yet.

Re: Time To Think About Bugging Out.
If this continues at it's current intensity, coming off the economic slump from Covid, well things can turn deadly quickly.

Now the sooner you get organized and packed the better, this is especially important if you live in a built up area, because a mass evacuation from those areas all at once could be deadly.

If it calms down , you've just had a holiday , if it turns bad you've saved your family.

The destruction to the cities on top of the slump may just break the economic camels back , if this scenario pans out many people will loose it completely and join the rampage.

So consider it .


 Quoting: Pinkorchid- Covfefe


Bugging out only makes sense if four conditions apply:

1. Staying where you are is untenable - that is, doing so poses a hazard to your personal safety and that of your family;

2. Your bugout destination has food, water and other essential supplies and supports that are abundant and available for an indefinite period of time;

3. The bugout destination is sufficiently distant from major urban areas and remote enough to be difficult for most people to reach;

4. The route to your bugout destination is not likely to be well travelled by others;

5. You are in good health and do not require prescription drugs or other ongoing medical supports, and you are likely to remain healthy for an indefinite period of time, or for at least as long as it takes for the crisis to pass and a return to living in an urban region is possible.

Given the large population of the US and its population density, there are few places other than Alaksa that would make bugging out possible. The only other regions that might facilitate survival are Nevada, Arizona and the western desert regions of Texas near the border with Mexico, but again, any such locations must allow you to meet the five conditions I outlined earlier.

And in each of these regions you would find yourself needing to live off the land eventually, if the crisis lasts for a very long time or is permanent.

The same holds true for Canada, which is about 80 - 90% uninhabited, but offers abundant water and wildlife, and it is possible to grow some crops in some surprisingly far northern regions.

In Canada, it might also be possible to live in the northern regions of provinces like Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Quebec and British Columbia where you're not too far from a small town and are likely to be left alone. However, with such a strategy, survival may depend on how well supplied the small towns are.

Wrong. Bugging out isn't the answer. It'd take decent Americans about 9 hours to clean up our country. Running away to the woods like a little bitch isn't going to solve your problems.

The only prepping you can really do is mentally and spiritually. Even in the best bug out scenarios, you are just buying a month of time at best if there's a collapse.

The only safe place....

No. There is no safe place in the situation that you are looking at.

There is a worldwide crisis developing..... but did most of GLP spend the last decade preparing and making sure they were in places that were reasonably safe?

Good Luck.

I agree, no safe place. Rural areas will become the wild west. Raiders with rifles patrolling the highways looking for bounty. In fact youre probably better off to be in a heavy policed zone and be invisible

Re: Time To Think About Bugging Out.
Many decades ago when times were rough
and protests etc were raging out of control.
Along with deadly diseases etc.etc. etc.
A very wise man told me that the
Only Safe Place To Hide Was In Your Heart.
It took me a while to figure out what he
was saying but it worked and and has worked
for decades. Right now i am old and useless
and one of those people that various groups
would love to kill off. And i am having to
truly work at retreat in to the only safe
place that i know of .... in my heart !!!
Fact is that i found a safe area to retire to.
In a small town in a rural area.
And have enjoyed it a lot.
But NOW the city people are fleeing the cities
in droves and bringing their HATE up here
with them!
Which is terrifying !

Even if they end up in the fema camps if the shit gets real thick. Some people are to far conditioned to live outside the illusion of state protection. Some people need to believe they are all here for our better good to keep their illusion of a life afloat.
