I would much rather live in an area that is not so prone to natural disasters. That's part of what makes the midwest great (sans the occasional tornado, none of which has ever struck where I live since I've lived here). However, that's what makes the southwest all the more attractive (ie, Phoenix, Las Vegas, New Mexico, etc.). Great weather, great gun laws, and not prone to natural disasters.
Bugging out is really only a viable option if...
1. You are facing a huge storm/hurricane
2. Nuclear fallout is imminent
3. The house is on fire because of the forrest fire in your back yard
Staying put can offer long term survival benifits of
1. garden
2. livestock
3. shelter
4. community support (if you have good neighbors)
Yes, I have survival vests that can be used to bug out, but that is my last ditch option. I would rather stay put and grow veggies, hunt and fish, and raise livestock. We will have all of our immediate needs met.
Bugging out from the jobsite to home can pose one HUGE challenge if you have a long commute, traverse difficult terrain, or dangerous neighborhoods.
I my case I have to cross a river stroll about 6-7 miles home in the event that an EMP pulse disables vehicles.
I ain't leaving unless it is just too dangerous to stay.
Remember building a cabin in the woods for a family of 5 ain't easy and you are not prepared to go that distance.
A motorhome helps as a BOV but fuel economy is crap
A small vehicle does not hold enough for the long haul.
Set up in advance!
Nothing like a good hunting cabin way up yonder to shelter you and yours!
Good luck getting there and back!
That's why you have multiple routes home. Where I'd like very much to work and where I'd like very much to live (this is with specificity, not generally), I've already scoped out several routes between the two of them.Bugging out from the jobsite to home can pose one HUGE challenge if you have a long commute, traverse difficult terrain, or dangerous neighborhoods.
