You Could Stay With Friends… For a While

If you need a local place to stay for a short time: less than a week or two, then friends could help you out.

Make a deal with your family, before an emergency occurs: They provide you with a place to go, and you will do the same.



If You Can’t Use Their House, You May Be Able to Use Their Land

Reasons that your friends or family may not be able to provide you with a place in their home would be:

•Financial shortcomings•Lack of space and food•Because they don’t like you (c’mon now)•Your friends can still be good, helpful people.

They may have land that is large enough for them to provide you the ability to set up your shelter on their land. RVs would be a great option in this circumstance.



Recreation Vehicles (RV) or Campers are a Great Option

RVs and Campers may be poor homes, but when you compare it to freezing your butt off in a tent during the icy cold winter, they are amazing.

You could be having a decent night’s sleep on your tiny mattress, in an air conditioned shelter, instead of sleeping on the ground with all the critters and crawlers.

RVs and Campers may be used on campgrounds instead of staying with friends or family

With a small amount of work, they can go completely off-grid.

Another use for that RV is a traveler and place to stay on vacations!



Campgrounds are a Convenient Way to Camp

Campgrounds may not be at the top of your list, but they aren’t all bad.

You can comfortably us a Camper or Tent. They have nice flat and level surfaces.

AC is available as well at many of them. Here are a few nice comfort items you can run from a camp-side power receptacle:

•Fan•Small AC unit•Basic Lighting•Heated blankets•Air Mattress Pumps•Small Water Pumps



Wilderness Destinations are Rough, but an Option

Most people don’t go more than a few miles in. Much of the hunting would be yours for a while.

However, most of you are nuts if you think that you are going to be able to live out of a tent in the middle of nowhere when everything is high stress and high tension.

Even if the option isn’t great, you probably still need to be prepared to do this.

A skill you should learn is to build wilderness shelters meant for your area and climate.



The Best, Most Expensive, and Last Option is Purchasing Land

Your own land is extremely advantageous for many reasons.Land ownership provides you with many options and allows you to set up the best possible situation. When you need to bug out, you could already be set up.Because this option costs much more than many of the other options I have given you, it should be well-thought out. Don’t rush into it, when the other options are available.



How to Use Cheaper Bug-Out Locations (BOLs) to Purchase Land

You should prepare financially to use the cheaper Bug-Out Locations (BOLs) first. If you never have to use what you save up, it now becomes a down payment for your future land.

Purchasing land should only be considered after your immediate needs to bug out are met.

Eventually you will want to move into your own BOL on your own land. You can do this when you have the means to do so, but until that day, work on the other Bug out locations first



A Good Bug-Out Location (BOL) Provides Basic Needs

You don’t need a 5 bedroom, 2 bath, Ranch House.

You don’t need to a 50 Acre plot of raw land.

You need shelter and enough land to provide you with your basic needs. Less than 5 acres would be enough to develop into an amazing bug out location.



Land Equals Wealth

All wealth comes from the land.

Every crop grows from it.•Steaks•Fruit•Chicken•Gold•Copper•Oil•Natural Gas•Iron and Steel
