Don't, unless you have a good viable plan.ready wrote:ive been doin lots of prepping with food ect this year has anyone got any suggestions for bugging out if you dont own land and property?
Find all the local and not so local motels/hotels/friends/relatives and go there.

Re: bugging out
As the gnole said .. get yourself a plan and dont stop at one.
1) Plan for a Bug out to friendly territory - friends, family, a hotel ... that would seem to be stage one and covers a multitude of senarios from burst pipes at home to violence or personal upheaval.
2) Bug out to a safe distance - research hostels, cheap hotels, camp sites at a reasonable 1 days travel distance to cover less localised problems.
3) "Good" plan (get out of dodge) or as we Brits would say "lets scarper" ! look out for camp sites, locations, wild camping spots or even any place that will provide the shelter/ protection aspect of your survival plan in whatever area you are planning to retreat to. without your own BOL you will have to take pot luck and remember, if you can think of that place ... others will too ... you wont be alone!

Re: bugging out
get yourself a good map of your area and (in good weather-long before any event happens) get out and about and mark on your map any good "bug out" locations, empty properties, holiday homes, barns, camp sites, youth hostels that sort of thing, also mark any supplies of firewood, coal, water etc.etc.

Re: bugging out
IMHO unless you live in a city or busy town then bugging in is the better option....you know your environement, you know your neighbours and what decisions they are likely to make, and you can store all your stuff - bugging out should be a last resort x

Re: bugging out
Robert Henry of The Survival Report, has just done a series of podcasts on the subject, intresting stuff. http://www.survivalandpreparednessforum ... rt-podcast
Apart from the general logistics, when and where to he also spent a lot of time on the question of work. Like having a good story cooked up for why you need to disappear off for a few days, even weeks, or how even in this time of economic uncertainly, getting sacked isn’t the end of the world. Especially if you’ve laid the groundwork with multiple income streams ect.
Another thing he touched on was the problem of hindsight, it’s easy to say what you should have done after the fact. At the time it’s a completely different story. Like with last summer’s rioting, there were probably very few people in London and other cities that got out of there. Most of them probably made ‘the right decision’ as they came though the whole episode unaffected but how could they have known that when building were burning and the police losing control of the street......
