Unless I can fit my parents in the go bag.....I gotta stay here.
They aren't leaving....and I wont go without them. This. I can have the house rigged like Fort Apache in a few hours and Mom is only ten minutes away. My house IS rigged like Fort Apache. Mom's gone. Dad's gone. Bring it on, azsholes.

Besides my "go everywhere" bag, since I live in the forest the wife and I both have a backpack with clothes and shoes in case of fires. A path has been cleared in the forest to drive through in case a fire comes from behind and a 4 wheel drive truck is gassed and aimed into the forest. Also everyone has camping gear hanging around but mine is already in backpacks. So no spending hours looking for everything, it is already ready. My wife thinks the Boy Scouts got their motto "Be prepared" after they visited my house.

I do want to say that having something (even my get home bag) handy was comforting when we had that fire that was a few miles away last week.
As much as I love our place, I'd abandon it pretty quick if a fire was coming through the trees.

When I go very far from home I carry some supplies in case I have trouble getting home. Short pump shotgun with extra buckshot. Pistol and extra box of ammo. Water, survival gear, tools, down sleeping bag, good boots, rain suit, insulated coveralls, gloves sock hat. Carry more in winter than summer. Civil unrest I am staying home. Have everything I need here.

Our homes are about 12’ft above sea level and in a tsunami zone. We have 2 bags on self in the garage to grab and go in 15 minutes.
Likely scenario is the sandy soil of our area will be liquified in places making driving the 1/2 mile out and up the mountain impossible.
Pack weight is at fast jogging level for wife and me. Ammo is heavy!
Insurrection, on the Oregon Coast? Yeah, I’m staying home. 😬😎

No. She is more like "The Queen of Dink".... Closest I come to what you are talking about for bugging out is when we are at the remote cabin. First thing I do when we get there, (about 50 river miles from the put in spot, and nearly 200 road miles to Fairbanks after that - there is a village clinic where the road meets the river...) is refuel the boat tanks. If someone gets hurt or sick, throw the duffles with the camping supplies in the boat, grab a rifle, and GO! The. boat box, including some food, and containing various other stuff remains in the boat.

The thing no one seems to count on is that if things get real bad all those places that seem lonely now will not be lonely for long.

It’s pushed hard here. Absolutely, I trim all trees 18' up on mature trees, pick up slash and burn every winter, remove all dead standing from my property but my neighbor 50' from my front door is the US Forest Service. They are NOT good neighbors. And no matter how well my property is trimmed , when the fire get into the tree tops nothing you do on the ground will help. When I was a firefighter it was called crowning. I drove through 2 of these burn overs with fire equipment and it is interesting how fast fire travels. When I started down the roads the fire was on one side of the road only but within seconds we were burned over with fire on both sides. Exhilarating to say the least.

But you can't really defend against a fire moving at 20mph.

Late to the meeting guys.
Good topic.
Lots of farmers and old fashioned guys that learned from our parents in spite of the gt education.
Has anyone noticed how the media and pop culture demonizes anything having to do with ol fashioned self sufficiency? I realize that none of us are an island. I'd be surprised if anyone lived on one. Knowing your needs and having a plan B gets us to rely less on the gt and big corporations that want to force us into reliance on them. That's how they exist and benefit.
