Bug-In Fundamentals
Bugging in means staying home and riding out a crisis. For most threats — storms, grid failures, civil unrest, or pandemics — a well-prepared home is safer than the road. This module teaches you when to lock down and how to harden your shelter.
Lesson 1When to Bug In vs. Bug Out
The default decision for a prepared household is to bug in. Leave only when your home is no longer safe (fire, flood, structural failure) or your supplies are exhausted.
- •Bug in for short-term, localized threats (storms, power loss, civil unrest).
- •Bug out only when shelter is unsafe or supplies are gone.
