Practical Prepping

It has been a week since we asked the same question: What have you done in the past week to prep for the coming North American Liberty Games?

Maybe you spent your week getting ready to attend Brock's PatCon?  Maybe you'll spend this week with him and his guests, networking and sharing important information and/or skills.  Good luck, Brock.

Let's focus the question this week - do you have a Bug Out spot?  If so, have you worked out the logistics of actually getting to that hidey hole under variable circumstances?  I can tell you from first-hand experience, if your plan was to Bug Out of the DC Metro area on 9/11 after gathering your kids from school, loading the Bug Out Mobile and then beating feet outbound - you encountered a series of catastrophic Fails.

Kids were in lock-down at schools as late as midnight in many counties.  Highways were shut down and many motorists over-nighted in their cars.  Metrorail shut down in many spots and simply refused to stop at other stations.  If you can't get home from work, can't get your kids from school, can't rendezvous with your spouse, and can't use the roads to exfil your AO - getting to that sweet Bug Out spot may be problematic.

If you prepped at all the last week with regards to either your Bug Out location or logistics, share what is prudent to share.
