I'm with you. Shelter in place is my plan at all cost...until it isn't. I have so much invested in maintaining a "normal" life for those I love, in my location, it would make no sense at all to leave it... unless a fire destroys it, or marauders make it their FOB, or an earthquake levels it, etc, etc. The trailer is a way to get those I love TO my place of refuge, not away from it.I’m actually suprised at the number of people preparing to bug out rather than shelter in place in a SHTF situation. I guess it’s very very geographic if you’re in a big city bugging out might be your best/ only option. I live way way out in the country on a road to no where. My plan is 100% to stay put. My truck is built out with a full camper and all the amenities so if the situation arises I could leave but that would be an absolute last resort. I’ve mentioned before but I’m certainly not prepped for an end of the world scenario but for a few weeks of weather of civil unrest I like to think I’ll be fine. If things drag on for months or years we are all fucked.
Like you, I live in the country but close to civilization. Sometimes it looks like I'm too close. But if my home is no longer usable, I have a the F250, a TT, the gas trailer, the Suburban and a trailer for food and goods that I can haul to some other location...like say a farm where our MAG will be set up that offers the 24/7 security and people with skills to cover medical and comms and military expertise. Again, the only risk is in getting there.
