Being prepared for the unexpected is what my website is all about.  We’ve talked about what you should store and about  becoming more self-reliant.  We’ve discussed health and the evil agendas that appear to be afoot.  We’ve bemoaned the ridiculous laws and the encroaching police state.  We’ve made lists of what you should have, where you should live, and how you should fortify your home.

But what if you had to walk away from everything?  Your food, your tools, your home, your currency – everything that you have spent years accumulating to prepare you for the worst.  What if the worst is actually worse than you had imagined?

Real preparedness means that you could walk away with the clothes on your back and survive. It means that you could find a safe place to retreat to, you could put together a shelter, you could acquire food and water. It means that you possess both the skills and the mindset to keep your family as safe as possible.

I was recently on a forum where “bugging out” was being discussed.  One of the people commented that if he and his family had to leave their home, they were dead.  To me, that sounds defeatist, and I just can’t wrap my brain around it.

Think about this for a moment.

What if you had no option but to leave your home?

Things like chemical spills, nuclear meltdowns, confiscations, invasions, and natural disasters can occur, and if they do, your options may become: leave or die. Some folks say that they’ll die to defend their right to stay where they are, which is a valid choice. Personally, if it gets to that point, my children and I are leaving.

Bugging out is not giving up.  If you can survive and live free despite every effort to the contrary, your continued existence is the ultimate form of resistance.

Your survival, if you choose to leave, becomes about two things: what you have learned and your mindset.
