i was just thinking of the very thought mav..but then again.if a person leaves out soon enough to a BLO,then they (might) be alright..and that'd mean more items for said location..
 
Do you re-transposed those markings on handheld maps in case of losing the use of an electrical device?

If you mean am I going to mark the 'paper' map with locations I see on Google Maps then, yes. If the S DOES hit then there is a possibility that we could lose power.
I am, however looking into buying a generator. Or I might put the location of where I can obtain one on my map and 'borrow' one when 'it' does happen.
 
We do have a camping room as part of our horse trailer, so if we had to bug out, we'd likely load up the horse area with supplies, hook the trailer up to the truck, and leave, if needed. We keep it pretty stocked up, most of the time, with other supplies, but would need to load up food and water.
 
Number 10 has a pop out car!

I have at least 3 major RV lots pretty close to us, so come SHTF, I have some er..uh..."shopping" options.....

Do you plan to stay in Florida? I personally think I need to go to higher ground since the effects of Planet X may put the state under water. Leaving mid month and hoping to form a caravan of like-minded escapees. First stop Western NC mountains. I'm new to this, so please forgive any newbie mistakes

Personally speaking, I think the so-called planet X will be the least of your worries ;) Though finding higher ground isn't always a bad idea especially living in Florida for multiple reasons. On a side note, youtube is full of misinformation especially regarding the planet-x thing!

I moved to the appilacian mountains about 11 yrs ago from Florida. I think it was the best thing I ever did. Where I was was overcrowded, over taxed, and something like twenty five feet above sea level. I loved living in fla., but from a prepping standpoint, this area in the mountains is a hundred times better.
As far as Planet X, I don't mean to be rude here but don't you think that someone with a telescope would have found it by now? They just found the lander that was knocked out from the bad landing on an asteroid, Philae, I think. There are pretty clear pictures of it and it's millions of miles away. I know they recently theorized that there could be things rotating the sun in different planes than all the other planets. Asteroids, ice balls, big rocks sure, but a planet? Pretty far fetched to me.
I think that there are so many things that can adversely affect our lives today that you don't need to worry about the really far out there things. Just my humble opinion here, which really dosent amount to much.
 
Oddly enough, they've all but confirmed planet X, but it's SO far out, that really, it's not much of a factor in anything (though it may explain some cyclic events)...

We're on decently high ground here. Just pretty rooted here, so yeah, not going anywhere.
 
This is in regards to the original post. . . We do have an RV (camping trailer) but this is not something I would want to bug out with. Yes I will if need be, but it will look more like Noah's Ark going down the road with all my :pcritters! Honestly, we would have to take two separate vehicles with two separate trailers, one for the RV and the other with the stock trailer. I would rather just stay at home and defend what we have sweated and worked our butts off for. I could if have to live very comfortably in the RV, in fact could even with another couple. It does have room to store extras as in food and water but not enough for long term. Life style would have to be adjusted for certain.

I honestly think it would take a nuclear meltdown to get me to leave here. I won't ever say I wouldn't bug out, but think I'd rather make a stand here.

Yes Brent but also you are not likely NOT to have a bug our plan in place no matter how strong your wish to stay put. I have zero desire to leave this location but common sense tells us both we still need to plan for it.

That's how I feel too Brent. But I have picked out a couple of BOL's just in case we did have to leave, although I can't imagine a scenario where we'd ever have to leave this place.

I actually do have a meet up place and a bug out location that's remote and not too far. It could be reached in a day on foot. I should probably have a second location planned in a different direction, but guess I'm not that paranoid yet :).

Wow, I almost forgot. My wife inherited a small piece of property in Palatka Florida. It's a piece of crap lot in the middle of nowhere. Her grandfather bought it I think in the fifties. It was one of those deals where it was supposed to become a retirement community and would be worth millions one day.... I think the property taxes are 30 bucks a year, so it obviously never panned out as a good investment. Now as to the potential use of it as a bug out location. It's reasonably remote, and close to the St. John's River. Fresh water and fishing. Going back to hot as heck Florida isn't my first choice, but is at least a good backup plan. The next time I go down I'll at least take a look at it and see what state it's in.

It could turn out like a scene from Alas Babylon.

The reason that I have 2 backups is dependent on the season. One is a high elevation mountain lake that's only a few miles away for summer. The other is a lower elevation river in a deep canyon and is about a 2 day hike from here for winter.
 
One thing I hadn't thought about. Palatka has a nuke plant. Damned things are everywhere! Not sure I want to be near one in a true shtf.

Well if its a modern design if TSHTF it should scram itself and remain idle and safe.......................... hopefully.
