I have a family cabin in the mountains that I am in the process of stocking up. If there is a disaster and I can get there I will.
I know some counties around here have plans to shut down roads! After Katrina they learned that we can't handle a large amount of people heading our way! And yes, were well armed! After this July 4th weekend I saw what the roads were like heading to the Mountains. I can't think what it would be like in a true disaster. I sympathize for you city people! My family included!
Unless you have somewhere to go, and the foresight to leave enough before the "event" to get there.....bugging out is not really a viable option IMO. You put yourself out in the open, carrying little supplies. It's definitely a last resort in my book. And heading to the mountains here? I bet winters are nice and easy at 10K+ feet, with your sleeping bag and your AR.
(Anyways, my "bugout" plan is to move out of the city limits- and if I can't move before any kind of "SHTF" scenario, then we'll be buckling down here until the situation is assesed and movement justified. I'm not going to hit the road just to end up out of gas, stuck somewhere with no contacts or supplies - possibly in a hostile environement with my family in tow).
No one read "One Second After"? Sure, come up here to the mountains... we'll welcome EVERY person from down the hill with open arms. Being in Evergreen, we're the closest to the city as "mountains" get, but I'll be very selective of who I allow in/around my neighborhood, and me and 2 other recent veterans have the guns, tactics, gear, and training that we'll probably be the "peace keepers." But if a group of co-ar15 people came up here, I'd invite them to take over my hippie neighbor's house and hunker down, maybe help keep the peace and keep the undesirables out.
I'm probably going to stay put as long as possible at my grandparents house (although they probably won't survive long since they're pretty old), but the house is secluded, has 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, and is on a 1/4mi dirt drive way, nearly perfect to taking shelter.
If I have to leave the relative safety of a house I'm going deeper into the woods, hunting and living off the land, and waiting out for more people to die off from sheer stupidity (give it 3 months or so) and then make my way down and see if I can scavenge what I can.
Just get to the local Wal-Mart: their average customer can feed a family of four for several weeks...[Tooth]
