Since there are a few out there just now giving their impressions of whether you should or should not “Bugout”, I figured I’d post some oldies but goodies.

Most who know me, know that I am staunchly against most people planning to just “Bug Out” to the mountains when the SHTF. I advise people to plan on “Bugging In” where they are, or “Bugging To” a pre-planned location. The are a number of reasons why I’m against a “Bug Out”, but chief among them is that most who plan to do this are doing it out of laziness and/or an overwhelming lack of reality.
Laziness, because it is a lot easier to plan to just throw the pack on and grab the rifle, than it is to prepare to stay put, stock up on supplies, and plan a realistic defense. It would be great if it was that easy (and cheap), but it is not. After approximately two weeks, you will go from being a “Survivalist”, to being a “refugee”.
I say “lack of reality”, because most who plan to “bug out” haven’t even carried a pack any distance, let alone carried the weight of gear and food necessary to sustain ones self for any length of time. As I said above, not planning correctly will abruptly shove the “would be Survivalist” into the “refugee” category relatively quickly.
If you’re gonna “Bug Out” to the mountains, the plan my friend Bergmann has is the way to do it. It’s not a perfect plan, but then again what is? For his situation and location, he has come up with the most realistic plan he can, and is putting effort into preparing for it for years. Watch and learn.
If you have the opportunity, go check out his blog, you’ll more than likely learn something.

Bergman makes some good vids and is very, very well trained. Good enough that I repost his videos on my own blog to help folks get an idea of what it might be like.
Folks might want to watch a somewhat recent movie called, “The Road,” to get an idea of a post SHTF ‘bug out’ and what the characters face in the movie. Granted, it’s a movie, but it does paint a very, very vivid picture….you can’t move fast enough, quiet enough for long enough with a family in tow – they haven’t been trained from birth to stay silent.
Bugging ‘in’ until you know what you’re facing, and then getting to a ‘Bugging TO’ location is the only thing that makes sense.
Ditto what DTG said.
