Just a question, but what about those of us who live "in the hills" so to speak. I live in northern Minnesota in a lakes/tourist area. As such if a major incident happens in eastern North Dakota, or southern Minnesota we are in the area lots of people will flee to. So staying put is one of the only options. However as this is a rural area most people have their own wells, septic and homes are heated with wood, propane, fuel oil, etc. So with the exception of electricity we are pretty self sustaning.

That having been said, the idea of taking my family out to camp in -20 degree weather is not fun. If it comes to bugging out and this area is not safe, then I guess I could ship my family to friends in Minneapolis, while I stay and try to assist those that had to stay. I would not put my family into a shelter with the local jail population that happened to be free at the time.

Stay safe.

I wouldn't be so paranoid if everyone wasn't out to get me. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
