I really don't ever foresee a situation where there would be a need for us to "bug out". Civil unrest, stuff like that? I'm not leaving my house. Where am I gonna go? I'll stay put and defend my home. If anything was really that bad, you're effed no matter what. Any major "national event" same thing. Look at how a virus event trashed the supply chain of basic items. Think you're gonna go someplace and find things? Ain't happening. The last year brought out some of the worst in people, because of it.
The last major disaster we had here in NY/NJ area was Superstorm Sandy. That woke a lot of people up to the need to be prepared ahead of time. I'm gonna say close to 90% of the populace was nowhere close to being ready. Even something as simple as a two day blackout, freaks people out.
I've always been somewhat of a "prepper". We always have a large supply of food in the house. Have a house generator plus backup generators , that are always ready to go, with a load of gas cans always filled.
and yeah plenty of ammo...
