I've had this conversation with people before. If you already live in a rural or suburban/rural area, bugging out can be both possible and the best option for an impending emergency situation.
However, if you live in one of the larger cities here in the US, it may not be the best choice. I do live in a major city, and I will tell you that bugging out will be a rough grind. My main reasons are covered in the video below, so I won't belabor the points.
A quick note here, the video was made in 2011, and some points are not as valid now as they were at the time.
The two biggest problems about bugging out from a major city concern actually getting out by car, and exactly where will you go?
I've seen videos and articles from people who live in NYC talking about kayaking across the Hudson river, or bicycling, or even hiking out. To which I say, it must be nice to still be young, healthy and very fit. Not to mention that if you plan on leaving say NYC by foot or bicycle, you might want to remember that only one borough out of the 5 that make up NYC is actually connected to the mainland, and that's the Bronx.
It sort of cuts down on your options of where it is exactly you're headed.
Anyway, watch the video and then consider what you might do if you're a resident of a Big City, and the SHTF.
