Should you bug in or bug out when disaster strikes?
In this video, I break down how I make that decision based on real-world experience, not fantasy. You’ll learn the pros and cons of both options, the gear I keep ready for each, and why staying flexible is key.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer. It depends on the threat, timing, and what you’ve prepared for. I share the exact mindset I use—prepared to stay, ready to go—and walk through practical scenarios that every prepper should think about before it hits the fan.

✅ Topics covered:
- What bugging in really means for preppers
- The realities of bugging out (not the fantasy version)
- How I evaluate threats and decide what to do
- My gear and plans for both staying and leaving
- The dangers of making the wrong call

This video goes beyond theory. This is the strategy I use for real-world emergencies. If you’ve ever asked yourself “Should I stay or should I go?”—you’ll want to watch this all the way through.
