One thing I’ve always thought was a little strange when I talk to people about bugging out is that there is usually this predetermined notion that the bug out is going to be on foot. People talk about the right packs to buy, weight distribution and how much distance they can travel on foot.
It seems to me that if you were ever in a situation where bugging out was really your best option that you would want to use a vehicle to get to a predetermined location as soon as possible. Hiking with a 60+ pound pack on your back doesn’t exactly seem practical to me. Many people say that in a true SHTF disaster that vehicles would be useless and therefore you have to travel on foot. Although I can see in some very specific situation where this might be the case, it seems a little unrealistic in most disaster scenarios. It also begs the question why you’re even bugging out in the first place if you have to travel several days or even weeks on foot.
