If something were to happen, and you had to "bug out", where would you go? Don't need specifics, but would you head to say....the desert, or north to canada? I think I would head up to the middle of nowhere in Canada. Plenty to hunt and fish for.

I'd stay right here.
Couple thousand unarmed college students loaded with non-perishable food like Ramen. We'd live like KINGS, damnit! |
|
My girlfriend lives on the way to the mountians. We can be out in the sticks climbing the appalachian hilsides in about a 20 minute drive.
|
|
Under my sheets - if I can't see the bad thing, it can't see me!
Seriously - I'd stay at my house if possible. |
|
Bug in if at all possible, Otherwise retreat about 200+ miles up to Iowa on my girlfriends's grandfather's farm and take the rest of my family
|

Wedge1082's house. He already told me. It's only a thousand miles from Philadelphia to Kansas.
The summer camp I used to work at. It's out of the way, I know it thoroughly, there's plenty of shelter, and there's a good supply of clean water. Not to mention plenty of wildlife. I wonder how long I could live there undetected.... |

I've got a pretty quick drive to the mountains on a good day, but on a bad day those roads would be easily clogged. Luckily most would probably stick to the freeways and head N. to LA, S. to Mexico or East on the freeway to Arizona. Our less travelled roads head into the mountains east San Diego where my parents live and only a short drive from there (20min) gets me really into no mans land mountains.
Unforunately, if there were a bio/nuke attack the wind travels west -> east with cloud cover moving eastward in the evenings. Right in my path of escape. |
|
I'm headed to Area 51 and taking the next saucer off this berg.
|
|
Costco.
Got a 18 man team ready to secure it. Defensable, well supplied with food/fuel/water. Got the floorplans, extra materials to bolster walls, entrances and approaches. Just kidding. ...cabin in the mountains |
|
|
My house. I have TV, Internet, nice bed, heat/ac, some food, why would I want to leave.
|
|
I would go to the arfcom predesignated area aka the 2nd Alamo.
|
|
Me - vacation house in the Sierras. Already stocked. And No, not giving out the address. |
|
|
Hielo's bathroom. Big enough to support a family of 5 for 8 weeks. |
|
|
The roof; with a pack of oreos, binos, and a couple of rifles...
Hunting for two legged varmints. |
|
Are the stars bright there and do they shine all night? |
|
|
you'll have a little waco situation there (i.e. child molestation accusations). |
|
|
I could tell you but then - it wouldnt be a bug out location now would it?
Okay, okay - you twisted my arm - after I raid the liquour store, I will lock myself in my bedroom with pornographic vcr tapes, guns, ammo, booze, and arfcom online....... |
|
I would like to buy you lunch. Please IM any dates you have available. I will absolutely be there. This friendly meeting does not have to be public. I would have the honor of treating you to a meal any time you have available. You do not have to respond to this post - simply send an IM. |

It might not be the safest place, but at least you could play with the AT-AT. Please post map with directions... |
|
|
I'm headed to the "Hun" compound to join the Arfcom army.
Seriously, I'm staying put and "defending the castle" if the SHTF... |
|
My place in PA - well water, streams, plenty of fresh venison roaming the woods, firewood, access to nearby horses if fuel for motor vehicles is a problem, and a small in-ground pool usable as a machinegun nest/gunners position for anyone stupid enough to approach.
|
|
I sure hope you recognize the Suburban as I drive up the lane... |
|
|
If I am home in AK, stay there. If I am away at school. Relatives place in Northern AZ.
|
|
Hell man, you know you're always welcome at my place...especially if the SHTF. The more good shooters we have the better. Besides, I may need some help raiding the pharmacy, grocery store, liquor store and Wally World for any "extras" we might want to ride it out. |

Your parents live in East SD county? My family has been in the East county since about 1870. We still have land there. My wife and I plan on building there, this coming year. Growing up I used to target practice in my back yard . . . |
|
|
I think our SUV might work. It's got 4WD, GPS navigation, a DVD player, a radio and plenty of space for us and our gear. And it can go wherever the bad shit is not.
I LOVE the Costco idea, though. |
|
Ramona actually. They've got 3 acres but the neighbors are packed a little too close together to do any shooting on their land. The East County (Eastern El Cajon, Alpine and farther out) is really exploding right now just like the far north like Temecula. Land costs so much people are willing to put up with living 30-50 miles from work. Hamul and Jacumba are still pretty empty though I don't know for how many more years that will be true. Ramona is a city too, so I'm betting they have some law covering firearm discharge in the limits. Maybe not though. I'll have to look into it. It's sad to see a suburban 3br home, out in the sticks still going for 350k and up. I'll never be able to afford it out here, and the gun laws pretty much give the little nudge I need to leave. |

If TSHTF in my area odds are it'll be hitting on a large enough scale that it would be stupid to leave my home and either get stuck on a highway somewhere trying to get somewhere else, or smashed into by some panicing asshole trying to get away...
I'd much rather sit on my roof and defend the casa. |
