Bugging In Or Bugging Out Is The Question?

       Some people seem to have it all figured out when it comes to where they are going if they have to bug out while others seem to think they are just going to hit the road.  Others seem to think they should shelter in place. What's the best thing to do?

Bugging In or Hunkering Down is the complete opposite of Bugging Out. When you Bug-In you are staying put in your home with your supplies intending to ride out the storm or chaos that is coming. Thus the question is asked in preparedness circles usually in the context of political, biological or terrorism types of chaos: “Will you Bug out or Hunker down?”

         While there are things that it may be impossible for you to know, an emergency that is only going to have a major impact for a few days or a week might mean that you are better off staying put and not contributing to congestion or involving yourself in large crowds.

         To answer this for yourself, you have to ask several questions to determine which is the better option for you in your circumstance. The questions are pretty basic and revolve around:

Your Situation – What pushes your button internally that says “We have to leave”?

Your Location – This can apply to both where you are and where you plan to go

Your Health – Are you physically able to leave and possibly walk the distance

Your Dependents – small children or old relatives. Pets?

The Threat – What is the threat we are planning to leave for?

Your Destination – Where is the place you are going to?
