LAZY BUG OUT CACHE 2

Okay, you are reasonably safe from millions of displaced urban scum, Blue State Swine that have been busy earning their pieces of silver by supporting politically correct globalism.  You are all hunkered down in your farm in the hills, buried AR’s awaiting the Revenuers.  You were paranoid enough to get there years in advance, and reasonable sure that the family in the holler next door would most likely be after your supplies not even half way through the first winter ( they were crackhead White Trash, on da well-fares ).  What do you do about them and theirs raiding?

*

Me, personally?  I’d shoot them all, first.  But that isn’t the kind of discussion we are having today.  How do you set up stashed supplies and a bug-out camp for when raiders do show up?  Can you dig a septic tank hole?  If you don’t need that large of a container, fine.  Ignore my advice to have five years of grain.  Just bury your buckets.  But if you have enough people, and enough grain, a septic tank might be just the thing ( I have no idea about condensation, whether you need to first go with Mylar bags, placing them in the tank ).

*

If you don’t have your own back-hoe, and are worried about op-sec, you’ll need to convince folks it will actually be a septic tank.  You might have to pay for the leech line digging, or get a permit, or similar subterfuge.  And if you are worried they will have read Lucifer’s Hammer, I don’t think anyone is doing to go deep turd diving for How To books.  Most preppers have that on e-files anyway.  That should take care of your bulk food stores.  Difficult to get to is good.

*

This leaves your In The Hills location a much simpler affair than the Mobile Caching Scheme.  You don’t need long term supplies.  You DO need everything there, but on a smaller scale.  You need to plan as if you were taking a growly in the outhouse and raiders showed up, the patrols missing them and Billy Bob the retard asleep at the church bell warning detail, and you had to go running into the woods empty handed.  Raiders are NOT going to be all Road Warrior and arrive with engines revving and speeches made.  They are going to try to ambush you.

*

Count on being empty handed.  I mean, I wouldn’t ever plan on not having a gun belt with me at all times, but just off the top of my head I can think of two scenarios.  What if you are skinny dipping and a raider shows up on shore, right where your clothes and weapon is.  You’d swim to the opposite shore and book into the hills, naked.  What if you were in the woods partaking in carnal activities ( perhaps not of your spousal variety, hence the clandestine location ) and were surprised.  Off you run, with no supplies.

*

Unlikely or low probability?  Sure.  So is everything we are doing, at least to some degree.  Being paranoid means you plan for all possibilities regardless of the math.  Well, I mean, not ALL possibilities.  You don’t need to go to bed wearing a butt plug, thinking you’ll get anal probed by UFO aliens.  I’m not saying that is a bad idea, just that some things are so improbable you can probably safely ignore them.  But those are few and far between.  But as our good buddy ‘Ol Remus says, plan as if you are escaping a Soviet Gulag. 

*

That means, surprised without supplies.  It isn’t because you’ll actually BE surprised without supplies, although you could, but because that covers so many other possibilities.  It is a one shop stop for prepping, like prepping for nuclear war used to be.  You know, from “better two years early than two seconds late” to “if you are ready for nuclear war, you are ready for anything”.  Yes, I know you could quibble with that one, and I have, but it is a good Rule O Da Thumb.  Like “stay away from crowds”.  We could quibble about numbers and distance but that isn’t the point.

*

What should you have up in your hill BOL?  Remember, you have to be close enough for the women and children ( old humpers might be out of luck.  “Shuffle FASTER, grandpa!” ) to get there, but not so easy for raiders to follow.  If in a valley, you have the camp up in the hills.  If in a clearing in the hills, perhaps a steep ravine you escape down deters horsemen.  If hilly prairie, you’ll need to set up retreating defenses so hopefully they lose interest in dying when the supplies are back there, safely. 

*

The BOL is designed for short term shelter and supply, and to resupply.  Worse-case scenario, you cannot retake the village and so must move on to a more permanent place you have deep larder supplied.  So, original farm/village.  A reasonable distance for the kids to get to short term shelter location, secondly.  And third, a permanent relocation spot with long term food supplies and other basics.  This should also be your plan if you are a single hermit.  A quick hide and resupply point to retake the main structure, and a back-up permanent structure far away.

*

What if circumstances don’t allow a third retreat?  Say, you never get around to it.  Or, the area is simply too built up ( not hard to do in some areas, where everyone is arsehole to elbow ).  This is where the “lazy” part can come in.  You can get away with just a rendezvous point.  Folks might have to go hungry for a few days, perhaps be cold ( back in the day, those “ignorant” peasants weren’t so foolish to be without warm clothing.  They didn’t wear flip-flops and shorts in March in Detroit, like our pampered petroleum punks do ). 

*

They will be alive.  Plans and drills should include retaking your settlement, if the raiders were too stupid to take that into account and go down the road some to partake in their looted goods.  There are going to be some complications.  What if someone was too slow and got caught, then tortured for the location of the big cache of food?  Generally, a raider takes the month’s supply of food obviously present and departs satisfied.  But what if they needed to make this permanent?  Would you have to negotiate a peaceful return?  Accepting a new governing body?

*

Nothing can be easy, right?  Right now, these things seen easy.  Everybody is armed with firearms, and an equalizer to strength, gender and age.  You’d better plan on that staying the case, or the paradigm of the strong destroying all those weaker returns.  Do I need to repeat, don’t waste ammo?  Not in your tactics.  And logistically, plan on far more than you’ll think you need.  Just like that food.  The easiest fight to win is one you aren’t in.  Plan on escaping and evading.  Simple caching for short time escaping.
