10 Potential Threats to Overcome While Bugging Out. #10 is Surprising!

3) Lack of sanitation facilities

Rest stops and stores may not be open, and even if they were, it may not be safe to stop anywhere.

For this reason it's a good idea to bring an emergency toilet, hygiene supplies. You can also improvise using a five-gallow bucket if need be.

4) Lack of gas

Gas stations may not be open, or if they are open, they may not be accepting credit or debit cards. Keep your gas tank at least half full in case of emergency.

If you plan to store gas prior to SHTF, be sure to store it in a no-spill canister. Also, have enough cash on hand just in case.

In addition to keeping a watchful eye for gangs, being wary of empty stores that may hold threats, and more potential scary scenarios, it's up to you to have a back up plan for your back up plan.

The next slide reminds us what additional threats may take place and what plans are necessary to have in place before SHTF.

Plus, the last potential threat #10 surprised me. It's a good reminder just how important preparation is!

    Here’s the thing of you are going to bug out. The fuel in your tank is going to limit you on the distance unless you have extra fuel with you. Most vehicles have a distance of 300-400 miles depending on size of gas tank and mpg your vehicle is rated. This applies to motorcycles as well but more extended miles.

    Agreed every time I click next page it tries to redirect me to an app. Yeah I’ll give them another shot then I’m done.

    Don’t wait for the TV news, you should be paying attention to the streets, you’ll know it’s turn bad yourself.

    These are givens, they are not really the main problem you will have. The authorities may become the biggest enemies as they work feverishly to keep law and order. They will have no way of sorting the bad apples from the good and will tend to treat everyone with fear and suspicion. You will likely have to try and sneak out of town, depending on the crisis. Quarantine, nuclear war, biowarfare to name a few. Travel light taking only what is necessary. If these are your biggest worries given on this site, you can likely stay at your house well armed and be fine.

    So much for this page being a forum for sharing ideas for prepping…if I have to click through a series of #ClickBait bullshit pages, I’ll just unfollow.
    More important$#%&!@*for me to subscribe to rather than this #shitshow.

    #10 is surprising simply because they want you to read through the whole thing and see all the advertisements

    Well, I’ve had all 10 of those covered for a few years now. How about providing us with something new for a change?

  10. Tommy Luksha said:

    This is nothing more than an advertising waste of time. I am getting so sick of these crap pages.
    Goodbye #diehardsurvivor you have wasted enough of my time.

  11. Carlan Aronson said:

    Not going to click through 5-10 pages of bullshit just to read 10 mediocre survival facts.

    You know, the federal government is always wanting to stick its nose in our personal business. Control our guns, our health care, everything. This is their job. Protect our infrastructure from terrorists. Their job is to secure our borders and protect our country. What the hell are they doing?

  14. Dana Kerr said:

    It is a shame that these must be listed, but maybe it will be of help. 🙂

    If it’s a total power out and transportation and communication is out. You are stuck where you are and distance to get to family and pool together would be hindered if not totally out of the question. Not knowing where your family is or where to organize how long to wait. Getting messages to each other.

    I encountered malware when I attempted to go to the third page of this article.

    this is part of why you need a cummunity to bug out with, if possable form a corperation, buy land and everybody work on getting it ready. Then you have a place to go. Then you need to make sure your bug-out plan has a back up plan and the back up plan has a back up plan. My brothers and sister have at least 3 bug out places. This way we only have to carry our wepons and water to get to any of them, with only one stop.

    Traffic light out = stop sign. Solved that problem. But then again, if people don’t know the traffic laws now, they definitely won’t give a rats$#%&!@*when SHTF

    “Everything you need to know is on the next page.”…

    Then it only shows two of 10 and follow with more pages each only containing 2 “threats”… Starting to dislike the page..
