Facing a survival situation, is it ever appropriate to consider “bugging-in” versus “bugging out?”
A lot of that answer depends on your immediate environment and needs as well as how prepared you are for an actual survival crisis.
While complete societal breakdown or a man-made or natural disaster always seems like a good reason to get out of Dodge, in some situations, bugging out may pose more problems than staying put.
In some cases, bugging-out is the best option, but in others, bugging-in is not only sensible it could save your life.
You would not have wanted to make a run for it, for example, during the recent unrest in several US urban centers – mobs running amok are never worth tangling with unless you have no other choice.
The video on the next page covers major reasons you may want to consider bugging-in versus taking flight to get to a place of perceived safety.

Consider this, being prepared to bug out, means you’ll have much of what you need if you decide to stay home.
Depends on where your at
There’s a lot of people out there that have this vision of running off and living in the woods during a disaster. Most of these folks have hardly ever been camping much less for more than a few days. It’s just not realistic in my view for most people to bug out without a destination in mind that has supplies.
Well I’ve done as much reading ss s person can on the subjects but working full times o my gives me weekends to go out and practice skills and try to increase my plant/herb knowledge, but if you keep your bug out close enough to a town and fund an alternative route in via railroad or walking paths and then find a bicycle to use use for noise reduction
