I respectfully disagree.

If you must "bug out" the LAST place you want to go is a national park. This would be the equivalent of jumping from the pan into the fire. Imagine getting out of Nawleans to evade a hurricane, and going to a much more expsed place - a national park.

I truly cannot think of any bug-out situation where you would be better off in the wilderness.

IMHO having a designated place to go, and a plan to get there, is a much more viable solution.

As far as friends and neighbors as part of your plan...

Well, how many of YOUR neighbors would think you crazy until SHTF day, then decide they and you are best buddies? I tend to think the majority would. Otherwise, why do we need a SPECIAL site in order to discuss these topics?
