I'm in SOCAL, there's no way out by car that won't be a parking lot. I've driven I-15 and I-8 during holidays and long weekends, SHTF bug out isn't going to happen.

The only thing I'll bug out for is a wildfire in this canyon. I'll have packed my truck (and did for the latest wildfires) so the only decision is when and where to we drive to wait for the all clear.

Earthquakes? Why bug-out after the damage is done?

My answer is that I'm bugging in. I'd rather be bugging in at a home with a well, garden and root cellar, but for the time being, where I am will do.
