If we understand the concept better, it\u2019s easier to pack a bug out bag that will work for each of us personally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3 kinds of bug-outs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are at least three different kinds of bugging out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>You\u2019re never coming home again:<\/strong>\u00a0This bug-out means you\u2019re leaving and you don\u2019t expect to be returning. It could be due to a rapidly approaching natural disaster that is likely to demolish everything in its path, like a wildfire, or it could be due to terrorism or genocide. It could happen at the last moment or you might have time to pack \u2013 it really depends on the situation. If it\u2019s a last-minute thing, you might only have the things you can grab in your bug out bag.\u00a0 Sometimes you don\u2019t even have time to grab that \u2013 it could be a situation in which a few seconds are the difference between life and death. When I visited a museum about the genocide in Bosnia, one woman told of leaving the house with her child wrapped in nothing but a hastily grabbed towel because the little girl had been in the bathtub when the family was hauled away.<\/li><li><strong>Bug Out with Warning:<\/strong>\u00a0This bug-out happens during natural disasters and often (but not always) you\u2019ll have a few days of warning. Some examples might be a nearby wildfire or an approaching hurricane. You can load up your vehicle with sentimental items and bring more than you\u2019d ordinarily bring. The focus for this type of bug-out is often on the things you can never replace.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Building a Better Bug-Out Bag: You\u2019re NOT Going on a Fun-Filled Camping Trip Based on the things I\u2019ve learned from folks who have actually lived through survival situations and bugged out, I think that we need to revisit what bugging out really means and why you might use a bug out bag.
