Hey, Eugene… I’d like to reiterate something I posted in an earlier thread about bugging out.

There is a huge difference between bugging out and running away. Bugging out is a temporary, planned retreat from a bad situation. Running away is a knee-jerk reaction that has no planning or preparation behind it.

As long as you have a well-laid plan and the supplies to cover the logistics of a temporary bug-out situation, bugging out is fine. In fact, in a situation such as yours, it is probably even recommended. No one expects you to go running off to permanently “live off the land” because it is practically impossible to plan and prepare to do so.
