Preppers - Stay in or Bug out?


Prepping to Stay Home or Bug Out:

When a natural disaster such as a storm or hurricane is coming, it is up to you as a prepper to decide if you are staying in your home, or leaving (bugging out) to keep safe.  Every emergency is unique, but many survival decisions can be made before hand.  If you decide to leave when you know a storm or hurricane is coming, where will you go?  Do you have friends or family you can stay with who live outside of the storm’s range?  Do you have a cabin or camper or tents you can retreat to which are better prepared for “roughing it” than your home is?  These are all things to consider before you need to leave.  (If you are going to the home of a friend or family, please call first so they can clean for you.)


 If you are staying in your home, do you have everything you will need to survive for at least three days (according to FEMA) , or what I would recommend, a week or more?  There are many items that are needed for emergency preparedness.  Basic emergency survival prepping includes; candles, flashlights, food that needs little to no preparation, and a gallon of water per person per each day.  If it is winter, consider how you will keep warm without using anything that will harm you or your family with toxic fumes.
