A True Doomsday Prepper
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?
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
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.Do you plan to stay in Florida?

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.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 critters! 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.
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.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.
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 honestly think it would take a nuclear meltdown to get me to leave here.

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 .That's how I feel too Brent.

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.I actually do have a meet up place and a bug out location that's remote and not too far.

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.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.I actually do have a meet up place and a bug out location that's remote and not too far.
