Planning On Bugging Out With Children? Think Again
Today’s post is going to address an issue that seems to be overlooked quite often in the preparedness community. Every day I see someone discussing bugout plans, bugout bags and what types of gear is best suited for a bug out, but yet I see very little discussion about what to do about children in a bugout scenario.
I think a lot of preppers go into bugout planning with a clear vision in their mind of how they want their plan to be, rather than how to make a plan that is safe and effective for their particular situation. I also think that a lot of preppers jump the gun quite a bit when deciding when the appropriate time to bug out actually is.

When making bugout plans, try to stay away from taking advice from other preppers who are not in the same kind of situation you are. It’s very easy to go overboard and into the realm of impractical when devising bug out plans, and bringing in people that have significantly different situations than you do will only complicate your plans further.

There’s a harsh reality in the preparedness community that a lot of us think we’re much more capable of things….READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE
