An Ideal Off Grid Location: Skill 23
What to Have in a Bug Out Location
You don’t need a bunker—you need a plan. A bug out location is just a safe place to go when home is no longer safe. Think smart, not extreme.
Bug Out Location = Anywhere Safe
Could be grandma’s house or a buddy’s cabin
Could be used for: EMP, fire, earthquake, job loss
North, South, East, West — have options in every direction
Step 1: Make a Plan
Talk with friends/family: “If it goes bad, can I come?”
Offer reciprocity—they can come to you too
Strong community = better survival
Step 2: Stash What You Can
Could be as simple as:
An envelope of cash
An ammo can with food/water
Or more advanced:
Fuel, gear, tools, ammo
If You Have a Real Location: Cover the Big 6
Fire → Heat & cooking
Water → Stored + access to replenish
Shelter → Solid roof + winter gear
Food → Stockpile + garden/hunting/livestock
Medical → Meds, antibiotics, trauma gear
Communication → Radios, SAT phone, plus a comm plan (laminated contacts, schedules, frequencies)
Bottom Line
A bug out location is more about planning than owning land.
Start now. Make the calls. Build your network.
