[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1356094, member: 7123"] What's actually funniest to me is that people actually plan on (so-called) "bugging out" - where you gonna "bug out" to? Your house/home is the place to bug out to! It has all of your supplies and everything, and is, ya know, all-important *shelter*. That's where you "bug out" to if the S hits the F - nowhere! The worst thing you could possibly do is *leave* your large stockpiles of food, water, fuel, ammo, etc. behind in your home, unprotected from plunder! Paranoid people (like me) should focus their efforts making their [B]homes[/B] [I]*defensible*[/I] and stocking their homes properly, rather than waste time with a bug out bag or some such. There are many aspects/facets of making a home defensible, and stocking it, as well as coordinating with like-minded friends, family, and neighbors in making the neighborhood/coalition defensible as a whole unit. A terrorist attack on our electronic systems/computers with some sort of disabling pulse or electrical shutoff would certainly create chaos. Food could become the key scarce resource in a worst case scenario, but also of course water, and gasoline/kerosone/oil/propane and other heating fuels like firewood. Another tangent to making the home defensible is making it *be able to run* without computers/electronics - make an "analog" system (if you will) of everything, starting with electricity and heating fuel and going from there - knowing how to do everything in a physical/analog way, rather that via a computer or electronic system (e.g. if the electronic pulse knocks out your electonically-controlled thermostat & "brain" unit to your all-electric heat & air pump/unit, then what good does running a gasoline generator to plug the unit in do you? - etc.) [/QUOTE]
