Using a compass and pacing is so crucial. It’s helped me stay on track more times than I can count. Never leave home without them! ⌚

[Thousand_yard_King]

I'm not bugging out, I am staying put..

[JADDAD]

No plan to bug out. Only to get home.

Late May '76, on the AT, western Mass. the trail in places was under water as it had been a wet spring. Places 7 miles apart took 5- 6 hours. Long days with a pack. Some backtracking, some stupid rough country, eventually just slogging through knee high water. Boots wet, socks wet, pants wet. No place to stop for lunch. To get to campsites 20 miles apart took ALL DAY LONG. What the guidebook said was 10-12 hrs took 16 hrs.

Labor Day '97, White Mountains, NH. Valley weather, mostly sunny, 70. Going up, light drizzle, 60. Further up, heavy rain, 40 was like walking up a steep trout stream. A bit higher, freezing rain, decision made, go back down. A couple hours later after a shower at Pinkham notch to warm up I was fishing on the shore of Lake Chocorua.

I've made camps in remote Maine, NH and Massachusetts. Built lean to's with downed scraps, cooked trout over a fire, set up a tent on beds of pine needles so thick it was like a drumhead. I learned hiking, camping, map reading and trailing skills from veterans of WWII Europe and Korea.

At 67, I still carry a pack, got 3.9 miles this morning walking the dog. Got home with a half liter of water and a dog that wanted to lay down.

When the SHTF, and when the Government decides it is time to clear the field of the troublemakers and you have been on sites such as this, you are on their list and they know where you live. Best to learn survival tactics, skills, and practice them. you may improve your chance to survive a while longer, or just give up. Your choice, choose well.

[peyotephoenix]

Trails are perfect for an ambush so I would be hesitant to walk them in a shtf situation

[eagleclaw]

Never planning on bugging out! Win, lose or draw Ill defend my place till the end.

[anarchytelevision]

👀 I know people think that bugging out is not an option, but it's better to have it and never need it, then need it and not have it.

[recon]

Only way im bugging out is if my A.O. is compromised or over run by the enemy

[billywalker]

Traveling the ridgeline is a good way to make time and observe both sides of the ridge. However, in a shtf scenario, traveling a ridgeline will show your silhouette, and get you killed for your can of spaghetti. I agree that a lot of people will fail during their bugout adventures, such as the guy who was parked on the pulloff on my community road. He had a campfire on the asphalt, and was cooking over it.

[Alas-xjcr]

You are right! BUT, you die bugging in too. I live in greater Phoenix, 5 million people who will need food and other stuff and will be willing to take it from me. The smartest thing I could do in a SHTF situation is to drive north for 1000 miles or so to an area where I have friends and relatives. Either way I will likely die.

[phild]

Another way of bugging out is the evacuation before the storm hits. Thousands do this every year and are fine with it. Some of the bug in people need to be rescued, we've seen it the fishing boats, the fire department boats coming to the door or worse, the roof.

[beegano]

Jason seems like he'd be cool to hang out with. I wish I lived near the mountains .

[RodCornholio]

Let's be clear. The only reason to bugout is it offers you some kind of benefit that is a.) better than not bugging out b.) _worth the risk getting there_ . And by bugout, I don't mean "camping in the woods, living off the land." Unless you are REALLY far away and understand that if you need medical attention, you're in trouble, surviving in the woods for a serious, long term SHTF is just Russian Roulette...someone with a gun is going to find you.
Hope I don't need to point out some of the reasons why a bugout location would be better than other options (less potential bad guys, fortification, supplies, terrain advantages, energy ressources, other defenders, etc.). The most important decision will be WHEN in the course of things going bad, you decide to travel to your location. Because if you leave too late, your route/s could be blocked, ambushed, destroyed, etc.

[WhatisReallyGoingOn]

I use to travel 10 to 20 miles a day on foot and specificaly stayed off trails.

[rudolphunt]

You need beard, then you will make it. That's the secret.

[ELXABER]

12 miles hiking the mountains in Northern CA in a day, not much being carried, would have gone further, but there were bears on Blue Mountain that voiced their unease about being that close.

[phild]

In the past decade thousands have bugged out form South and Central America and come mostly on foot to the Southern Border of the US.
At other times people have lived through sieges such as Sarajevo, Mariupol, Gaza.
Both have their risks and rewards.

Hhmm, well as early teens me and my best friend would go out to check our trap lines, sometimes being out for a few hours to all day and the older we got the longer we would draw it out until we were about 15 and our parents would have to send his big brother to find us and drag us home, I’m much older now and my skills have grown and I have expanded my knowledge far beyond fishing hunting and trapping to land nav, knowing the foraging in my area, a lot of other little things that help a lot during outings, plus the tech we have now for energy, communication, fishing hunting and trapping equipment, bugging out is simple, for the most part I do it everytime I go on an extended camping trip, only difference is I’ll have one extra bag …. My range bag, there not much you have to worry about in a bugout situation that you don’t have to worry about spending a month in the woods, all the dangers are still there and everyone talks about bugging out like it’s last resort, if shtf I don’t want to be near my house with thousands of panicked people right near me and having to watch my back every second, if someone can find me and bother me when I’m bugged out then they deserve whatever they get

sports goggles, to protect your syes, with your prescription in them, of course. two types of ear plugs. Te cheap, normal kind, which block all noise, strung together so that you can't lose one, for sleeping. The other kind block loud noises, but let you hear normal sounds, with spring steel band between them, so they can ride on your neck and go into your ears in 2 seconds, for fiighting.
