What Would It Take For You To Bug Out?

"Other than a natural disaster", What type of disaster/emergency would it take for you to bug out and leave the confines of your "safety zone" permanently?

"Other than a natural disaster", What type of disaster/emergency would it take for you to bug out and leave the confines of your "safety zone" permanently?

Anything that made the area of my "safety zone" uninhabitable. There are so many it's impossible to name them all.

If I understand your question (bugging out permanently?) Probably a nuclear detonation on one of the three military bases that are relatively close. That is of course if I survived the initial blast.

[chiye tanka]

I agree with A.S., there are too many to name.

[jessielavon]

Any attack such as invasion,declaration of war,bomb on American soil.I would bug out to our safe place to prepare to fight if need be.

[Sourdough]

Screw-it, I am as bugged'out as I feel like getting, the next stop for me is Heaven or Hell.

[Rick]

I'd have to third (or fourth) that. I'd stay until I just can't stay regardless of the cause. Now, what did you have in mind?

[crashdive123]

Maybe I read the OP wrong. I took it as leaving forever.

[Rick]

I agree. That's the wording I see. My answer still stands. Pick any disaster you want. Pink Fluffy Bunnies, chemical, biological or nuclear contamination, war, economic upheaval, a world without coffee or bacon. All calamities for sure but unless one of them (or something else) made it impossible for me to live here, I'll stay.

[crashdive123]

Yep, agreed. Now that coffee and bacon thing comes pretty darn close.

[Rick]

Follow your nose, friend. Just follow your nose.

...........or Washigton, D.C.

[Rick]

Or....it would have to be several million dollars. I'd have to embezzle it. Then I'd bug out for ever. Or as long as I could keep the feds off me anyway.

...........or Washigton, D.C.

I thought he said that.

I thought he said that.

Good one Crash, It took a few seconds to kick-in, well done.

I knew that comment was coming when I wrote the post.......

Hopeak, you've gotta' take a positive attitude about this whole thing. Women. Don't forget all of the women............

If a natural disaster didn't get me, I would probably stay put.

[mountain mama]

Economic Downfall, looting, biological, chemical, nuclear, or as Rick said previously, "the Wiggles coming to my neighborhood"

[Excalibur]

any threat to the long term survival of my boys and I move, any threat to the short term survival and im buggin till the smoke clears and the dust settles

[gryffynklm]

I would have to agree that I'm staying put unless there is something that makes my location unsafe. Flooding, fire or weather damage to the house that makes it unsafe, would push me out if I can't make repairs.

We are not far from an East coast evacuation route. It is scheduled to be completed in 2012. So there is the SHTF on the east coast dumping too many dangerous folks (zombies) to my area kind of flooding. The thought that someone would get the idea in the middle of an emergency that their preparations begins by forcibly taking from others makes me cranky. If it got bad enough I would bug out for safety. Ya, what;s bad enough? I don't know.
