>>492318prepping =/= bugging out.
In most every scenario of natural, or man made disaster, bugging in is the way to go. I'm not saying don't be versed in survival skills, or the local area, but having enough supplies to not leave your home to begin with IS prepping the correct way. And to all the naysayers about guns, it's worth it to have 1 or 2, and know how to use them. For hunting, protection, and peace of mind.
I own a 12 gauge shotty, and I love hunting fowl and rabbits with it. It's also a great weapon for home defense if I were to have a group of people try to loot/raid.
If you're smart enough to store food and water, and not smart enough to keep others from taking it, or looting in general, then you're better off not prepping to begin with.
Use hurricane katrina for example
>inb4 they're all nignogsThere was so much murdering, stealing, and vandalism while the effected area was left in disaster for a month. A whole month. They turned the local sports arena into a Fema camp, and tons of people were raped, assaulted, and stolen from. Why on earth would you put your family in a situation like that when it's avoidable by saving a couple hundreds of dollars in dried food/camp stoves/water.
I live in a very nice house in a nice part of town. I'm betting my house is going to be a bullseye for looters if the cascadia shelf decides to go. I'm going to be bunking in place, and on guard with a fire arm, as i supply for myself my pets, and my loved ones (if you're not prepping for your animals, you're not doing it right either)
