You have a great blog. Keep up the good work! I have a question. A lot of the intirmafoon on the net and YouTube seems focused on bugging out . However, it seems that in most scenarios bugging in would be preferred, or as otherwise known, shelter in place . I would rather have all my stuff in my apartment than just a 40 pound backpack. In an urban area bugging out in a vehicle will most likely not be an option. The biggest risk I can think of for sheltering in place is fire, which would run rampant in a collapse scenario. Responders would be overwhelmed and, like in the LA riots, wouldn’t want to risk getting shot, etc. So here is my question. What are your thoughts on this situation? The best idea I have come up with is to rent a mini-storage for an offsite cache. Obviously this is not an optimum situation. The storage unit could burn down, you might not be able to get to it, it could be looted, etc. Burying stuff in the ground in LA is also not an option, especially since most of the ground is concrete. I would appreciate any ideas you or your readers might have.
