Problem with BO locations as I see it is, as eric has pointed out, difficulties getting to said local but also what if someone beats you too it. If you've recognized it as a livable piece of ground someone else is bound to see the same qualities. If you are willing to defend that ground so will another. Just cuz you've got a title to a piece of ground doesn't mean that it is necessarily yours. Possession being 9/10 of the law and in a post apocalypse scenario that deed don't mean shit.
Don't know if this is the right thread to say this, but as far as bugging in I do have a suggestion. If you have a clear wall in the garage it doesn't hurt to have pre cut plywood in the shape of your windows/doors. If you poke around some job sites (not as easy these days but its still out there) you can often find pieces to cover most of your smaller windows in the scrap piles. Just ask the guys on the site before you start to load. You can mark which one fits where, and have a box of screws ready too. When the worst hits you will not find plywood anywhere, and whether your staying or going the bad guys will pick the easier house when they can. You could even cut a few shooting crosses into the panels that will cover a window that opens. I always end up needing some ply anyhow, so I just replace what I use. Just a thought.
Ain't nothing a Molotov cocktail can't handle, just adds more fuel to the fire.If I were to build and design a BO home, it'd be underground, thick steel doors (Think nuclear missile silo) bullet proof glass windows.or a Concrete home, with heavy duty fireproof tiles, or even use stuco if it were to be made on the cheap.
Honestly I have 8 picked out and marked on maps. Each one is dependent on the scenario that may arise. Then I have 3 back ups.
Cheerleaders would be a great for bartering!
why barter them away when they can make continual revenue?
with all these cheerleaders going around, mybe a shtf scnenario wouldn't be too bad. Oh your takiing about locations. I think i would take the cheerleaders!
I was talking about the cheerleaders.
Well sure WTF, if I could build my perfect BO place it may also have escape tunnels, automated motion activated lasers, a mote with alligators, a fully stocked wet bar, theater with surround sound, and numerous out buildings for the multitude of women that I would be forced to repopulate society with. But the reality is that my 4 bed 2 bath Meridian suburban compound is where I will probably be for a bit. I just think that during a short duration clusterF, natural disaster or whatnot, that given the choice the looters will pick easy glass over pulling lumber everytime. If I do have time before we take off, I'll do it on the off chance that I might have something to come back to. And if we are staying for a bit, boarded windows (with lookout holes) are a lot easier to guard against intruders than glass. If it comes down to Molotovs in Meridian, we shouldn't still be here anyway. I would have already loaded my BSU cheerleader and gymnastics teams into the stretch limo Hummer and headed to the aforementioned BO place.
the city water can be tainted pretty quick.
I know its been mentioned elsewhere, but I am also thinking about trying one of the do-it-yourself small scale well digging setups in the backyard. I think we could go for quite a while without the juice on, but water will get scarce quick unless the canals are running, or you could get to the river. A small hand pump and a capped off 1 1/2" pipe in the yard wouldn't be a bad idea. I've read some different sites about how to do it, but never talked to any that actually had. Anyone try it yet?
