Pre-event Planning.....Execution.....Tactics......

1. Bugging Out is:
a. the last ditch plan!
b. allows one to only carry the minimum personal gear/equipment.
c. a small group can carry more "community equipment" (entrenching tool, small axe/hatchet, etc.)

2. Planning and Execution:
a. deciding on a destination-specific or an area.
b. mapping out the escape route to be used from home and city (or town, village, etc).
c. deciding on the "trigger(s)" that tell you when it's time to leave.
d. knowing who is going with you-strengths and weaknesses (too many or too few persons in your group has consequences).

3. Tactics:
a. evading other groups whether civilian or governmental (threat assessment).
b. daytime vs. nighttime traveling; when to do which.
c. where and how to find resupply opportunities.
d. how long to march and how long to stop and rest along the way
(march for 5 days and then stop, make a temporary basecamp, rest up for 3 days?).
e. knowing when to have a "hot camp" (with a fire) and when to have a "cold camp".
f. upon reaching a destination area-find a place to set up a semi-permanent base camp or keep moving among many semi-permanent base camps once a week?????
g. establish garden plots in the forest and hunting/gathering for sustenance????


These are some random thoughts that I have been pondering (maybe too many dreams/flashbacks of late???)

What are y'all's thoughts??????
