Standing in the way of a looming hurricane to prove you are tough, for example, is not a reason to bug-in; conversely, braving a state of utter lawlessness and chaos is not a good reason to bug-out unless there is no other choice.
Common sense, situational awareness and sound judgment should be the determining influences in your decision to bug-out or in.
One suggestion is to make a list of pros and cons to each possible scenario you may face (keep the list reasonable or you will be writing a list for years) and use that as a “if-then-what-now” matrix for decision-making.
What influences your decision to bug-out or in? tell us below.

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.

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
