Bugging In: How to do it effectivly
Most people think survival means bugging out.
But in reality, bugging in is usually the better option.
Bugging in means staying put because your home is safer than the road.
Let’s break down how to make that work.
72 Hours Isn’t Enough
Everyone talks about 72-hour kits.
But let’s be honest—if you can’t turn off the power and live in your own house for three days,
you’re not ready for anything bigger.
Your real goal?
Be prepared to live in your home for 3 months without outside help.
Step 1: Water
Plan for at least 1 gallon per person, per day
For 3 months, do the math—and either store it or have a reliable way to filter and purify it
Step 2: Food
Track what your family eats in a week
Multiply that by 12 to get a 3-month supply
Focus on shelf-stable food you actually eat—not just buckets of rice you’ll never touch
Step 3: Temperature Control
You’ll need a way to stay warm in winter and cool in summer
with no power.
Winter Solutions:
Wood-burning stove is ideal
If you don’t have one, use a kerosene heater with cracked windows for airflow
In a pinch, set up a tent indoors and fill it with sleeping bags to trap heat
Summer Solutions:
Take a tip from Scotty’s Castle in the Mojave Desert:
Wet cloth over open windows creates natural evaporative coolingBlock sunlight with heavy curtains
Stay hydrated and shaded
Step 4: Shelter-First Mindset
Your home is your best shelter—but only if it’s ready.
Ask yourself:
Can I cook without power?
Can I heat without gas?
Can I cool down without AC?
Can I defend this space if needed?
Step 5: Act Now
Inventory your current supplies
Make a list of what you need for 90 days
Start gathering items that fill the gaps
Practice short-duration drills with the power off
Bottom Line
Prepping to bug in is the most realistic plan for most people.
If you can live in your home without power for 3 months,
you’re ahead of 99% of the population.
Start small.
Think clearly.
Plan now.
And when it counts—you’ll be ready.
