Assuming the worst happens and you and yours must now hole up for a long, extended time, your first goal is to make sure you choose a good place. Higher places are more easy to defend then low ones. You do not want to hunker down where looters will be running riot. After the first wave though, you may want to have a few houses together, especially if you have a situation with trusted neighbors or an extended family compound. Ideally, your bug-out locale should have room for you, yours, and lots of supplies, besides access to fresh water. Beyond that you will need a way to keep it sacrosanct and protected. You’ll need weapons, a variety of rifles and shotguns, plus a handgun for every person and sufficient ammo. Homes should include barbed wire fencing and an established escape route, such as a tunnel, or trench. For bunkers a surround of defense pits is a good idea.
Key Takeaways:
- Before you can defend your location, you must pick one and you should remember higher spots are easier to defend.
- When the poop hits the fan, you most definitely want to be far away from places that could be looted.
- Assuming your bug out site is a house, you should have a wire parameter and an escape route, for the worst case scenario.
