Bugging in Place

Just about every place that one may consider as a safe retreat location has some sort of negative aspect about it. As an example, assume we take the Idaho, Wyoming and Montana area. There are groups of people that are currently observing the Yellowstone area for a impending crisis. Suppose for one moment that the Yellowstone geysers start to go off as it has been predicted. We are quickly becoming conscious that this hot springs locality is nothing more then a super volcano waiting to erupt. In this case a safe retreat to those surrounding states would be a waste. The Northwest section of the country has its associated risks as well with Mt St Helens also on the verge of eruption. Let’s face, it we could plan to go south and meet head on with hurricanes or travel west and find an abundance of killer tornados awaiting our arrival. It really doesn’t matter much as to where we plan to go as all areas have their downfalls to a certain extent.

Wherever you plan to reside you have to be able to make a living. If you want to be a survivalist you can not just make a living at your job. You have to make more then a living in order to afford to properly feed yourself and at the same time purchase additional supplies for your emergency storage. You will need to purchase more fuel then what you would normally consume. Just getting by will not make it. We have to go that extra step and make more and do more with what we have at our disposal. We all require some sort of job that those jobs are not generally found in rural areas.

Where you make your living could be in New York City, Los Angeles or somewhere in Texas. To most people packing up all their belongings and moving to some remote location is simply impractical and totally unreasonable. To move your family at a moments notice is pure nonsense. It is actually easier to say then to really do. People are basically stuck where they are employed and it’s not so very easy to obtain the necessary funds needed to buy that ideal retreat. In addition, the transition to your retreat living is usually not without its share of difficulties It is simply not an easy task if someone is not experienced at that kind of work. The elderly like myself perhaps would find it a bit more difficult then would a younger person however the younger person usually does not realize that they should be preparing for a potential danger in the first place. A potential location may appear to be very pleasing and offer a great potential for a retreat but you have to remember that you and your family may have local commitments and jobs where you are located now and to just up and leave is not an option. Unfortunately, you may not be able to make a decent living if you were to move completely to your retreat location.
