You know, Susan, your post reminds me that I need to get off my can and reevaluate my plan. When I lived in Northern VA, my plan was to Bug Out with my family. My parent's house is pretty close to terrorist targets so I think they should bail if they can, and even hoof it if necessary.

Now, though, since I'm married and moved to a relatively small town, I think I'd Bug In. The area has a number of things that would make it pretty easy, and if my husband and I need to bail, we'd probably just meet at his parent's house in the country.

My only problem is that I'd want my parents and family back home to Bug Out, but I think they'd want to stay, even if they are woefully underprepared for home defense.
