Susan:

In a book I read many years ago a character said something like, "A hundred thousand things can happen between one dawn and the next. Nothing is certain. Nothing is written."

I have taken that to heart, as meaning that survival for just one more day makes survival for another day possible...and another after that, and another after that.

I, too, would bug out as a last, a final, a desperate resort. But I would do so with the intent and expectation of survival...even if for just one more day.
