When would you do it?
How far away would you go.
What is the ideal place to have as a Bug Out Location?
What do you need at the location?
When I first started checking into preparedness, I felt that 2012 was going to be a catastrophic climate pole shift. Nowadays, I don't think we even have till 2012 before TSHTF, and I think it'll be more a Great Depression/economic catastrophe, so I've changed my thinking a bit.
IF I had to leave (and I'm more of the mind that I can stay where I am, since there won't be tsunamis burying my Island.... I hope!) I want to go to a rural, wooded area. Looking past the Catskills in NY.
I think that would be ideal, with woods with game to eat, arable land to grow crops, not too densely populated.
If I could prepare a place in advance (unfortunately I cannot), I would probably have it set up with all the necessities... water on the property (stream or well), land for crops, hunting and raising animals, root cellar and large storage rooms filled with food and water, furniture, blankets, means to cook, plumbing (or an outhouse) with lots of fuel, battery, candles set aside for emergencies. Medical supplies. And I'd like it to be out-of-the-way and not well-known.
of course, if we're having some sort of nuclear, chemical or biological warfare, I'm pretty much out of luck, as I haven't planned in the least for that!
