[QUOTE="Bubbadreier, post: 1507071, member: 18248"] Well I have 4,700 acres with only one other house within a mile of the properties borders, my lake house is on the property but I won't go there. I have spot picked out that is on top of a hill with a natural cave that is big enough for me to walk in and store supplies in (I have already placed a door on it, it is a large log), it is flat at the top of the hill and it has trees covering the borders of the flat land and extends out for about 80 yards in all directions except for one, the forest just continues here for miles. It has a 10 foot rock cliff on two sides of the hill with a natural 'staircase' leading down to the lakes surface, this can be easily hidden from the shore. I can see for about 6 hundred yards into land before another hill blocks my view, and I can see across the entire lake to the other side. My house on this property is at least a half mile from this location, the house can only be seen from the lake, and to get to the house from the lake you must pass in my line of sight. I have almost 400 heads of cattle on this land but they are in the middle of the property and can't be seen from either the road or the lake, they can provide milk and be food if the need arises. About 300 yard from my location (NE if directly in front of my hill was N) is a hidden alcove of the lake that is about 20 feet deep, great fishing there. About 200 yards in front of my hill (N) is a large pond with a stream that runs through it, that is stocked with catfish. 900 yards to the W is a completely inclosed pond stocked with Bass and ducks and geese land here very often. The forest has deer and many other creatures living in it. This all exists right now and I would have to do nothing but get there.... I will go there because I can control the area. I grew up on this land, I know this land and I have camped on this land during all 4 seasons and I know I can survive here. My BOB will help me get there if I must go there. I do not plan on going there unless I have to. I will stay at my home until I can no longer stay safe there, then and only then will I make my way to my secondary location on my property. My BOB is mainly for when I have to leave my apartment for 3-7 days for what ever reason. be it fire, earthquake, flood, war, or anything else. But if I must leave and find a place to hold up for any length of time I will use this bag to make my way to that hill. Now I do agree that if you have no place to go (unless you have a large wooded area around you) then best place to go is home. [/QUOTE]
