The most critical aspect of Bugging Out is having someplace to Bug Out to…
There are three types of Bug Out Bags:
It would be a shame to make all of those survival preparations, and not have a safe area or retreat in mind. The person
attempting this kind of Bug Out will be facing some very extreme situations.

Some of the problems that I see with other people’s survival plans are as follows:

2. Are there other survivalist in the area that might spot your shelter?

3. Is the weather sever enough to warrant erecting a shelter?

Whatever the case, a shelter comes in handy when it’s raining outside, but
sometimes it will reduce your ability to see and hear if somebody is ap-
proaching your camp area.

Typically I utilize a G.I. Poncho shelter. As you can see in the picture
above, I tend to gravitate towards the camouflaged ones that help to break
my outline. These types of shelter have been in use by military forces, and
they can be built low to the ground.

Alternatively, one could tie some cross beams at the top and
sides of the poncho hooch that will give it even greater
strength under heavier loads. I wouldn’t take but a few extra
minutes to insure a decent nights sleep.

is nothing more than a false sense of security, or nothing less
than denial of the fact that survivalists require more food than
guns.

I personally opt for one handgun for self defense purposes, and
one long gun for other purposes. The ideal long gun would be a
pump shotgun with several different types of rounds, but no more
than 40 rounds of shells.

My favorite survival weapon is an old beat up Mosin-Naggant Rus-


sian battle rifle that fires a 7.62x54R round. This proven battle
rifle is capable of taking down large game, as well as being used
for personal protection. The down side is that it’s a bolt action
rifle, and thereby, urban survivalist tend to ignore this fine

Handguns play another distinct role in survival situations.
Movement Tips:
It doesn’t really matter what kind, or what caliber, as nearly any handgun is bet-
ter than nothing when it comes to self defense. By Franke Schein

Most people tend to prefer the large heavy caliber-semi automatic handguns
like the Colt .45acp or the .44-Magnum revolver. Either of these will perform as
expected, and both are a welcome addition to the survival armory.

No matter which type of survival guns that you decide to use, always remember
that your weapons are to be used as means to get out of trouble, as opposed to
getting into trouble.

Those [so called] survivalist that pack multiple firearms and ammunition are just
looking for trouble, or seriously infatuated with their guns. These are the people
that will probably run out of food first, and then attempt to use their weapons
against others, in order to feed their starving families.

Hell—if you are smart, ya’ might even trade them a $6.00 sack of rice, for a
$2,000.00 assault rifle. Provided that their hungry enough and pose no threat to
you and yours.

Food For Thought…

Executing a well planned Bug Out operation means that you will be
spending a lot of time with boots on the ground—and we all know that
humping heavy a rucksacks through a thick forest, or even a sprawl-
ing hot desert, will eventually take its toll on the physical body.

Notwithstanding the rigors on the feet, one must also realize that
Bugging out will have the same excessiveness on the human mind.

It’s easy to get used to walking a certain way, easy to get caught in
the psychological trap of doing the same things, the same way—time
after time. But in a survival situation that doesn’t hold water.

Movement should be slow, but deliberate. If at all possible, walking
