I'm confused. How or why would anyone bug out on foot? Even if all you have is one tank-full in a gas hog, you can at least put 200 miles worth of road behind you. There is noway anyone on foot can do that within a reasonable amount of time.

If we have to move out on foot, we would be in sad shape. How many Americans can walk from a dangerous area to a safe area before the danger hits?

I imagine only someone in an area that may be totally blocked with traffic would need to consider this. If the streets are blocked a vehicle wont do any one much good. I have a bug out plan that revolves around my truck because I do not live in the city, and way...way down on my list I consider bugging out on foot in the unlikely event that the roads where I live become unusable somehow. Its more of a "just in case plan" because you never really can foresee ALL the things that could go wrong.

Plan for the worst and hope for the best.
