Bug out location vs staying at home?  Why do people have a bug out location?  Wouldn't your home be safer and more prepared?

Things that can destroy your home will mainly be the only reason why you would leave.  Some examples include a strong hurricane, a tsunami, a tornado, a bomb, a forest fire, a major flood, an upcoming epidemic, a chemical spill, or a nuclear spill. Some of course give little to no warning, while others may give a week notice. Other than that you are never 100% certain if your bug out location is safer than your home, but it is an extra option, and should be far away from your home.  One doesn't want both places to have the same chance of being a good or bad option. 

Bug out Location

Your bug out location (BOV) should have these requirements:

1. Be within a three day's walk of your home. Better fit people may have a further distance than someone handycapped.

2. Have its own mini market NOT Expired.

3. It should be away from society if one has that possibility, or at a friend's/ family member's house.

4. Everyone in your group should know as many routes to this location as possible!
