How to Bug Out - A Step by Step Guide

But what if you don't have money and transportation?

I was taught to avoid cities due to traffick congestion and violence.

Outstanding, be blessed !

I say just go camping write everything you forgot are needed. Then just make a container with everything you’d need to go camping with next time and have that as your emergency kit. Kill two birds with one stone. I do have a go bag and a go first aid kit too.

What solar panel do you have in this videos

weapons, ammunition, B.O.B vehicle and hit the road, drive as far as I can on the fuel I got load up what I can carry, cache the rest where I will remember local and walk from there

what about an EDC/bugout bag combo?

I've packed up my RV, a Class A 31'
Solar generators, solar , solar lights, g***, dehydrator, 4 ways to clean water.,
Have put my important files on a file. , tow a wrangler if things get even weirder.
Sewing kit, serious first aid kit etc.

I have what looks like a very messy car. It disguises my bugout supplies that I carry in the car for emergencies. I travel alone, yet I have backups for cold weather and heavy rain gear in my car. I have a change of clothes for both hot and cool weather there too. Water is a gallon jug that lays flat on the floor of the passenger side along with empty drink bottles, plastic cups, utensils, empty shopping bags for trash takeout. A self created first aid kit sits under my passenger seat. I carry old newspaper advertising and junk mail in the passenger side seat for fire starting. I also have some compact tools.Tucked into the glove box I've got maps, both local and state. I also included locations of state and county parks with a concise summary of what they offer. These things just listed I carry in the car always.
My objectives is to bugout to still remains undertermined. My problem is the entire state of Florida, and a cat It is a big piece of real estate to escape. By the time I get out, all sorts of organized attacks could be taking place anywhere set up to rob people of anything useful. My strategy is to look worthless to any prospective assailants. Everytime I stop for gas may be my last time, so a siphon tube may be an essential, as panic gas buying depletes all the gas between me and my objective. Into this car my bugout bags go along with at least 15 gallons water, buried by the buggout bags, and woombe. I should have 2 kinds of water filtration with me. Also at least a couple of weeks worth of MREs dispersd in the car in case someone manages to get a few of my bags. I might be able to use these to bargain for passage through any organized road blocks or for gas. One bag has large tarp, poles and stakes with one source of larger cook stove. The next bag has cooking pots, utensils for cooking, coffee, and eatery. The third bag is my bugout bag designed to shelter, first aid, navigate, filter water on the move, a very small cook stove to heat water paracord, and a hand axe to cut wood. Also has my sleeping bag and ground cover. My drinking bottle can be heated up on the stove for water. The MREs all provide neccessary heat to warm the food, but require water to function. It would take me at least 10 minutes to load my car. My important papers go too, along with cat, cat carrier, and a 3 week supply of food. Add 5 more minutes for the cat. Add 5 more minutes to shut down the water and electricity to the house.

I keep myself 100% totally prepared for evacuation at all times especially here in Canada in the middle of the winter. The world is going crazy I hope we make it through.

Ive. had to evacuate in minutes. You are spot on. Great video.

Cloud would be worthless in my opinion. EMP event or natural disaster is what I prep for.All great advice. Thank you.

There should probably be a winter bag and a summer bag total different needs list

Like your content... and presentation... there are so many pepper channels out there that have destroyed their credibility by delving into the tin foil hat conspiracy theories. You set yourself apart from the pack by producing quality content in a professional well recieved manner.

Another option we've been considering is Bug Out - Bug Back In. Prepared in advance, with our stash of food safely buried or hidden, if trouble hits our neighborhood (people marauding for food), we can bug out to a nearby woodsy location. Then, when it is safe to do so, we can return. Banking on the fact that marauders, by their unprepared nature, are probably not going to search too hard for food before moving on to the next house.

Myself my husband and my six children breaking every year we call it zombie apocalypse in this game I present married siren out of a blue during a long weekend and everyone has to grab as many things we could use to survive in the wilderness for three days correct the time is 20 minutes and I am so proud of my kids

what about hunkering down at home?

Timing is the most important thing to do,if you don’t get that right it could b all over pretty quick

Another option for bugging out: 4. Canoes/Kayaks/Boats. Where we live in South Florida, we can actually use the nearby canals that are all connected to get up to Lake Okeechobee area, much more rural and safer. Obviously would prefer to drive, but it is a great backup option, in the event that driving is not an option, that allows for a fair amount of gear/food to be taken as well.

Will make notes on your video later. With my bug out bag I have short lists located on inside cupboard doors of what to grab. Example: bathroom list inside cupboard-things I'm using daily. Linen Closet inside the door: Medicines of sort etc. Kitchen inside cupboard door: things of importance you use daily. Garage Door Inside: what ever you need to grab from garage. Bedroom list on back of foor what I need to grab. Etc etc

Awesome!! 👍🏼💕💛

Why do people bug out only to die 3 days later when their supplies run out? If people are planning to go back home after 3 days and finding that everything is exactly as they left it, why did they leave in the first place? The whole concept of civilians bugging out is fatally flawed. It's based on a tv show concept from the 1970's and a military bail out bag used by military aircrew.

We were in a tornado watch and warning last night. Was a great drill for the family to see how quickly we could react grab critical equipment and come together in our safe room. We did notetaking last night and lessons learned this morning. We will adjust our locations of critical equipment to be more efficient. Thank you Kris for putting out this video it really help our family drill down on some of these key areas we need to improve on. Keep doing great work!

this may sound strange but i cannot conceive of any possible or improbable situation that would necessitate leaving our home. and yes, we've had a wildfire that surrounded the neighborhood and we did not leave. i live on the highest developed neighborhood on the island of oahu. there's literally nowhere to go.

I'm disturbed that people are so reliant on their phones. Learn your territory now by existing in it, for pity's sake. Within a ten mile radius of your home, know, at least roughly, where the roads go, and I don't mean the names of the nearest towns. What direction do these roads run? Do they run parallel with railroad tracks? What happens if the train spills something dangerous? Do the roads intersect railroad tracks? What if a train blocks them, how far around would you have to detour? Are there bridges that might be damaged in flooding or earthquakes? Learn this stuff now.

One critical thing is do your best to plan then do a drill, like its real. Get everyone together and plan it but then when it happens it is just some time of day that you surprise them with. Maybe kids are at school, or spouse at Dr appt or whatever. Then, after you grab everything and bug out, pretend you hit road blocks on the way and have to plan alternate route on the fly etc, live for a weekend off your stuff. This is where you will figure out all the holes in your planning and equipment.

I love the show Chris , it actually inspired me to start my own channel as well , I recently sold my 27 foot boat and purchased a 30 foot motorhome in the event I have to Bug Out , best part is I can bring a lot of my Preps with me as They weren't going to fit in my car , check out my vid , my son named the motorhome " Prepper One " anyway God Bless, sincerely Ontario Prepper

Thanks Chris, great video as usual - even for some of us who have been prepping for a long time, it's a great thing to get a refresher!
Drop box is an excellent thing !! Given the state of affairs these days, we're keeping our heads on swivels & minds on details.
Be safe, be well🦋

Could you get approval from family to actually BUG Out for a two or three day period? And then do a video on your actual experience?

Thank you! Thank you for trying to keep us informed and better prepared!

Did anyone else gulp and semi panic when he said 5 min go time !!!! I am not ready …Lord help us all.

Dear Lad. Hello. I am in my 90s. I have been buying extra food and extra meats and other proteins, canned goods. But I live alone and all my family have passed I am in a walker but I have a car. What does someone like me to do? I get tired easy. I don't have people I can trust. And of course getting these things together is not so easy for me. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats. No one wanted these lovely pets. I took them..they are my family. Can someone like me get out of my house with my babies and in my car with all the things we would need. I still drive. But not as much. I have a new Kia suv for my dogs. Is a suv good to get out? Any help would be so appreciated. 👵🙏

Bug out bag is constantly changing. Make sure it's a bag that comfortable

Seems to be the year of fires and floods already.

Bugging out is not an option, everybody who lives in my house is totally blind, and I don’t believe anybody is coming to get us! We are here for the long-haul, or until the Lord calls us home

"Bugging out" doesn't always involve a large event. A "simple" house/apartment building fire will cause the occupants to "bug out".

Can you do a prepping vid for those who are already homeless? Would it be like bugging out in a more extreme way or would it be completely different?

I'm so happy that prices are up, democrats will eat noodles for the next 3 years and the only gas they can afford is their farts.

Would you recommend keep alot of the things like tents shoe ect thst are nre non passable left in you trunk or as with me in the back of my hummer

thank you for your efforts. much appreciated. bless you and yours.

Bolting down your gun box would be wise.

ATAK + Meshtastic. Get DTED elevation data from USGS and import GIS imagery from your Area of Operation and Area of Interest. You can script GIS fetches to keep it up to date, which you should be doing as part of your area study (it's not a checkbox, it's a continuous process).

Having this pre-installed on your phones, and having your mesh nodes in your bags+cars means you can keep in touch as you move without cellular infrastructure. Having a few extra nodes distributed around your AO/AoI will extend your coms reach.

Have large format map hard-copies and know how to use them. Don't mark them up with your stashes...

I have my Prius kitted out (thanks to watching a lot of "hey guys i'm living in my Prius" videos) with a twin tri-fold memory mattress and 90L duffel bag next to it that stores camping, cooking and cleaning gear. I also have a cooler that fits in the well of the passenger side back seat that supports the head of the mattress when the back seats are down. Custom made window coverings and a law enforcement patrol bag that sits in the passenger seat with tons of pockets and compartments for my security, ammo and other items are in quick reach. I even have a women's go to the bathroom bottle lol. I can live out of that thing if I have to.
I'm in Houston TX and I started prepping years ago for hurricanes and the like, but it's evolved into so much more. Nice to know that if my power does go, at least I have a place to sleep until I can figure out my next move.

:D

You do realize the highways will be filled with neurotic drivers crashed everywhere and nobody will be moving under panic
