When it comes to bugging in, or bugging out, I think we all might have the wrong mindsets. When I lived in Kingston Jamaica in 1980, things were pretty wild (violent - especially at night), but neighborhoods came together and fortified. I lived through a hurricane there as well, and the same thing happened, neighborhoods clambered together to survive. We slept at the house that still had a roof, ate at the guy who’s generator still had gas and was powering the fridges we pooled our food in.
When I lived in Toronto and the power went out for 5 days, we all came together In the hood. Tornadoes in Kansas, we all helped out until we found everyone.
I guess my point is, I don’t know if S really HTF, if it would look like Hollywoods version, or as singular as we sometime envision.
At the end of the day, we are a pack animal. Bugging in seems way more likely is what I’m saying.
Making yourself relevant and making sure you can protect you and yours for a couple days maybe is key, but I don’t see as much mass movement some people envision save a natural disaster - in which case, I think most people would group together to ensure overall safety.
Today I know many of my right leaning friends are terrified of some kind of race war. That would be different I suppose. Some are even yapping on about a civil war. But what would either of those things really look like if they ever occurred - which I highly doubt? I can’t imagine in this country (USA) that that would last for more than 12 - 24 hours before we all went back into our corners.
I don’t know, humans are horrible creatures at times, but I just don’t see them being horrible for too long short of an invasion and years of occupation. Hence, I have enough to bug out at home and a couple of bug out bags that’ll keep me squared away in the country if need be. After that, I’m sure it’d be over.
Well, that’s my take anyway. I could be wrong. Probably am.
