Eventually, it all boils down to supplies....

Part of my reason for moving to the country is a desire to be as self sufficent as possible. I have good land for agricultural purposes so we can grow a decent garden, raise chickens and pigs, etc. Problem is water or lack there of.

It would depend on what happened and where. Probably i'd be better off sitting it out where I am.

I inventory my bunker weekly!!

my lease runs out soon, and i think i want to move away from the busy city in the springs. if looting and chaos ever did break out, food would be gone in a matter of hours. and there is little wildlife in my neighborhood. i wish there was a lake near by. i guess the mountians would be the best place to be, if you were secluded.

Depends on the situation and your stocks of supplies. If your home is still standing and livable, and you have more supplies than you can carry, I'd rather bug in. If your home does not offer adequate defense from the elements and secondary catastrophies such as extreme weather, fire, etc, I would exit as soon as was safely possible.

The stay or go question? As stated obviously depends on your situation. Is the problem localized or not? For me personally, I live in the mountains. In a tight knit well defended neighborhood which is quit isolated (very close to south shooting site). 2mi away from decent water, but we couldn't grow much. My biggest fear in a survival situation is not supplies so to speak, or looting. But the MUCH greater chance of FIRE. One small mistake in someones house, barn, garage, campfire, and there goes the forest and your resources. If a fire is coming can you still bug out after you've been in survival mode for weeks/years? Do you have enough fuel to get out. More questions to think about. Good conversation.
