Prepping myth exposed: Why bugging out might be a terrible idea

With so many catastrophic scenarios at play in the world today, more people are beginning to plan ahead by preparing for the worst-case scenario. Water shortages, currency collapse, solar flares, earthquakes, riots, plagues, martial law and war all threaten civilization. Some people are investing in rural property and equipping hidden locations, stocking up on food, water, ammunition and other self-sustaining necessities. Most preppers are also equipping their “bug out bags” in case an unfortunate event causes them to leave their home in a hurry.

Here are some reasons why bug out plans might just be a terrible idea, including alternative insight that may come in handy for those facing difficult situations.

Here are some reasons why bug out plans might just be a terrible idea, including alternative insight that may come in handy for those facing difficult situations. 

Avoid close quarters and stressed situations that lack a sense of community

First, it’s important to note that humans are a territorial species. In close quarters, humans are more willing to become irritable and violent. In stressed and impoverished situations, humans lose character and moral judgment. In poor parts of the city, humans are both in close quarters and in stressed situations. This is why these areas harbor the highest rates of violence, theft and rape across the board. To reduce the likelihood of being beaten, killed, raped or pillaged at any time, it’s best to “bug out” now to a location with more space, privacy and independence. Any future bug out plan should aim for an adequate amount of territory that provides the tools to allow for prosperity and the rebuilding of a sense of community.

This means it might be better to learn real-life, hands-on skills rather than invest in a trove of excess supplies.

This means it might be better to learn how to work well with people now instead of stocking up on bullets which could lead to unnecessary blood baths.

This means it might be best to mindfully invest resources in others right now instead of converting money to gold and silver stashes.
