I think bugging out "to the wild blue yonder" is an absolute last ditch option (but one that should be considered and planned for).

I am at the point that I could but if you look through the posts you will find that I am also at a stage that leaving would be for what? I am 53 and have lived a full life. The leaving part becomes less attractive as the years go by.

all the kids are grown and only a couple have any interest in being prepared. If you are 39 or under and have kids then you need to plan. You and your children would be the future.

There have been generations before us and there will be generations after. In all honesty the last big scare was in 61. We are marching to a different kind of threat these days.

Just some thoughts.
Yup, bug in. No point in leaving only to get bogged down with everyone else who is leaving.

Imagine what the freeways would be like...total chaos.
