Bug Out Locations to Consider When the World is Ending

Asking about the ideal bug-out location as you are evacuating is too late to get what you want in all likelihood.

You have to ask that question long before and here are some things to consider!

Best Bug Out Locations and Plans

• Well off the beaten track, ideally reachable by a single dirt road. This seclusion will offer you a good bit of protection. For example, you can cut a large tree down across the road to help eliminate unwanted guests.
• Not too ostentatious, so that it doesn’t draw a lot of talk from locals and become a target for vandalism. Nothing wrong with a solid one-room cabin with a sleeping loft.
• Near a spring, well, stream or other natural source of water.
• Equipped with at least one fireplace or wood stove for cooking and heat.
• Within 10 to 20 miles of a village or small town where you can go (by foot, if necessary) for additional supplies, news and other contact with the outside world, should the emergency stretch into months or longer.
• Have enough arable land for growing your own vegetables and other crops.
• Near a natural, easily harvestable food source (usually wildlife for hunting or fishing).
• Provisioned with enough food to keep your family safe for at least three months, preferably a year.
• Provisioned with tools necessary for long-term self sufficiency, should it become necessary.
• Stocked with enough weapons and ammunition to defend it from small groups of marauding invaders, should it come to that.

A lot of times, people consider a “bug-out location” to be something they set up for when a major, long survival situation occurs.

You certainly should have that in mind, but you should choose your bug-out location based on the likelihood of a certain type of disaster or survival situation – the type of situation you most likely will encounter.
