Apocalypse Man – Bugging out.
The history channel recently has been airing several apocalyptic programs. One such program was “Apocalypse Man.” Rudy Reyes is former SpecForce operative who details “a howto” program on surviving a collapse of society.. The basic message was to find resources and stay invisible.
It assumes no EMP has occured because a late 80s early 90s diesel Chevy Surburban will start by getting diesel fuel out of a fuel tank and making fuel from grease.
Somethings of note, communication uses a citizen band radio this takes the need for shortwave licensing requirements out of the picture.
The goal was to “bug out” but he did not go into detail of bug out planning. I want to detail a bug out plan, and provide a document for the user to print out and use for their reference.
I’ve been developing long and short term life goals that include plans to get out of the “city” before bugging out is required.. Which will change the perspective of post disaster planning.. My ultimate goal is to move to a rural area where I have defend able turf, but until this plan is implement bugging out means different things to different people.
When Shit hits the the fan, think about the “W’s, and H’s of who, what, where, when, why and how.
a. Who – Self, Spouse, family (these must take precedent)
b. What – What will you do?
c. Where – Where will you go?
d. When – When will you go there?
e. Why – What reason will make you implement your bug out plan?
f. How – What is your full plan?
One Comment suggested a when things go from bad to worse..
the idea of a full blown apocalyptic collapse assumes you may have a multi-tiered plan.
I don’t want to have visions of a Mad-Max or the worst concepts of Revelations, but as a survivalist one must make preparations and be educated on how to deal with a collapse in society..
My premises is that all regular services (roads, food, etc, will be either out of order, or non-existent.
I do think one must add to their list a store of “seed stock” for food.
I have stocked up on basic seeds.
Potatoes – select a good variety for possible climatic conditions
Onions -
Vegetables – (use variety outside the normal genetic strains.) It is possible that GMO strains could be impacted by genetic terrorism.
Check this website for sources of non-GMO seeds.

Think outside the box. the point of this blog it to get YOU thinking NOT me. I’ve thought about a plan.
Which included multiple potential bug out locations both close and because of a climate change due to a natural disaster such as Yellowstone going VE9 or asteroid impact collapse our weather for decades.
disintegration of societal order for me would me taking my family to an undisclosed rural location and begin subsistance living.
You make up your own scenarios, but in general exiting cities is going to be top priority in most cases.
