Bugging Out: Tips For Selecting Klickitat County Land

By Jerish Thieman


When a wide-scale disaster occurs, anyone anticipating such as event probably already has a plan for bugging out. While it might be as simple as rapidly gathering supplies and heading out of town, some preppers have purchased bug-out land specifically for this type of scenario. If you are concerned about the future and searching for ways to keep your family secure, it's best to begin planning today.

Finding the perfect spot to bug out is a big first step, and one must be careful when selecting a property. While you don't want to be too close to a major city, you also want to be able to reach the bug-out land fairly easily if disaster occurs. Typically, you will want to select a place within about two hours by car, a spot you usually can reach on just a single tank of gas.

When you settle on a piece of bug-out land, you will want to have several different routes that will lead you to the property. Doomsday prepper properties tend to be isolated, but there still should be several methods by which you can reach your destination. Consider mapping out three different routes, even if one of those scenarios includes ditching your vehicle and heading out on foot.

For those in the Pacific Northwest, Klickitat County, Washington, can be an excellent choice. The county has no major cities and is largely rural or wilderness and it is within a few hours of Seattle, Portland and Vancouver. There is also a good deal of ideal bug-out land available in the county, and the property prices tend to be quite affordable. Many people choose Klickitat County as a spot for hunting land or wilderness retreat land and also survivalist land. You can set up a simple bug-out shelter with basic supplies, or plan on rebuilding your life on your bug-out property and living off the grid. The realtors at Klickitat Valley Realty are experts at finding remote pieces of property for clients wishing to find a safe haven for their family.

As soon as you close escrow, you can begin getting your bug-out property ready. Some people will simply bury supplies such as food, water, first aid and perhaps a tent and other helpful items. Others will want to build a home on the site and set it up for living off the grid in case of disaster. At home, you will want to have pre-packed supplies on hand that you can toss in the trunk of your vehicle quickly. In addition to supplies you will use at the bug-out property, you also need backpacks for each person in your family that are filled with enough food, water and other supplies to last for 72 hours. There is always the chance that you will have to leave your car and continue on foot.

One wise move is to practice with bug-out drills. Get the whole family programmed to move quickly and efficiently. Load up the car and get on the road and practice each route to your bug-out location. Once you reach the bug-out shelter, spend a few days there improving your shelter or adding to your stockpile. As you practice, you will come up with ways to improve the efficiency of your plan.
