Four hours to bug out! | |

User ID: 80406021 05/25/2021 10:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You should be living in a place you would bug out to. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79719273 It should be your home. Mine is. What if a toxic tanker dumps in your neighborhood or upwind from your site. Then where do you go? Your neighbor has a meth lab and it just exploded. Who knows what can happen. Meth labs aren't a thing anymore so much. Cheap shit comes in from Mexico that makes that risk too high. Said the cops I talk to. But yeah, 3 choices. 1. primary home 2. bug out location, campground or cabin 3. mobile. What about regional bug out locations? 400+ nuke plants in the USA. One nuke plant could wipe out a whole region. Upwind and downwind does not matter because wind patterns change seasonally. Just expanding on the situation. I like the posts that say to move out of the cities. The number one reason to move is being more than 100 miles from a nuke plant. Eastern part of the USA is littered with Mike plants. Good luck living outside the city but down wind/stream from a nuke plant |

Quoting: Achduke7 Just a thought experiment. Bug out for what reason? It matters... The only reason to bug out would be something so horrible that it's a regional problem that a few hour drive would solve the problem. In 99% of the cases bugging in would be the correct answer. What's the disaster? This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it. -Admiral Josh Painter The past was alterable.

What's the disaster? A nuke plant 225 miles from you just exploded. A radioactive toxic plume might be heading your direction but the winds keep changing and you may or many not be safe. The plant is not far from a metro area and radioactivity is causing havoc with the electronics of a major internet exchange which is affecting other areas of the country. There is also fear that service personal will not be able to fix the outages for safety reasons. Concerns over the electric grid in that area bringing down the rest of the grid are in play. Stock market has been faltering because of the unknown extent of the damages. Last Edited by Achduke7 on 05/25/2021 11:07 AM Achduke |

Nowhere else I would bug out to as we've got solar, huge garden, running stream, forest full of game animals, farmer neighbors, and can bike 10 minutes to a beautiful hidden lake. If there was ever a reason to bug out from THIS location, I'm staying put and dying right here on my beautiful rural land looking at the gorgeous mountains and sky as my last sights on earth.

I use that when I am out in the field working. Even if my car breaks down completely, I have power for several days. It takes 2Ah to fully charge my mobile.
