Should I Stay or Should I Go?

• Lew Rockwell - Daisy Luther

Because this song is now stuck in my head, I thought it should be stuck in your head, too.

Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go, there will be trouble
And if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know
.

~ The Clash

Bug in or bug out?

First, some definitions:

Bugging In: This is when you shut the gate, lock the doors, and hunker down to weather the disaster at home with your supplies.

Bugging Out:  This is when you grab your bug-out bag and you hit the road to go somewhere else because your home is not safe.

In all but the most desperate circumstances, my personal plan is bugging in.  Being out on the road in the midst of a disaster means you're a refugee. It means your supplies are minimal and that the things you've carefully stored over the years are very possibly going to be lost to you. The personal sustainability you've been cultivating at your home is also lost, including your garden, your livestock, and your water plan.
