Bugging Out With ChildrenIf you have a family with children, it is not as simple as grabbing your bags and hitting the front door. By the time, you decide the situation warrants bugging out with children then it is possible it is too late. You will always think there is “one more thing I need”. The children will not be ready at a moment’s notice and time will slip away. Fear is real and it may keep you from bugging out with children or elderly family members. The pack will be too heavy, you are not conditioned, and the children certainly are not. But that said, you can't just leave them behind, can you? There are many philosophies on the best way to bug out. I have seen everything from underground shelters with all the comforts of home to ditching the wife and kids and heading out. I am going to assume that none of us is ditching our families. Preparing for bugging out when you have children takes extra thought and gear rather than if you are preparing as a single person. Remember, you are not bugging to the Shangri-La. It will be tough, rugged, and primitive. The point is surviving; not dining on ice cream and sleeping on a pillow-top mattress. There was a time when mommies and daddies did not have wireless video baby monitors and $400 jogging strollers. Your children will be okay. You will be surprised at all the things you do not really need.
