Anybody have a LEGIT bugout location or bunker?

Been thinking about building one up, or buying a small piece of remote land way out in the sticks. Srs. Anybody have their own bugout location or bunker at their current property for when SHTF?

No. But if I had the land id like to bury a 40' container to make one. Obviously somehow make it so it doesnt rot or whatever. I think that would make a good bunker.

That's a great idea. Get an excavator in there and dig as deep as you can, with a tunnel leading down to it, and adequate ventilation. Could get one built like that for under $10k I bet, plus the land cost. Excellent idea.

Small cabin in a cedar tree filled ravine near the largest dam in the middle of my 18,000 acre ranch on my that’s fed by two large creeks. No electricity, running water, plumbing etc, exquisite fishing and hunting and I’m the only one that knows it exists.

Edit: could’ve swore I had pics, it’s not terribly pretty but it’s functional and it’s relaxing as hell. I’ll get some pics next time I’m over there.

Brah, it's a simple question, and I'm just wondering if anybody has one. There's nothing wrong with having a piece of property/hideout that nobody knows about, and provides a level of security in uncertain times. Just lol at your response.

I've been thinking about making one for years. I'd have to build it out of fiberglass and do it water tight. In the winter I hit water at about 3 feet down.

I think that is absolute key to a really good bugout location/bunker. It needs to utilize natural terrain for multiple advantages: creek for water source/hydro power, valleys, hills, and rough terrain/rocky areas to make it impassable with vehicles.

Yeah watertight is critical for long-term sustainability. Gotta have it last for years, especially if you end up staying in it for the long haul when SHTF.

Was watching a four wheeling video on youtube and they were driving through an area that had recently burned. They ran across someone's bugout shipping container that did not survive the fire. Full of fire damaged AR-15s and ammo.

I'll see if I can find the video again. They were testing a 2021 Landcruiser over different terrain.

make sure you have a bag ready to go. it's more likely that a fire burns your house down, or hurricane, or tornado, or chemical spill, etc. than a nuclear war starts.

Do You Have An Emergency Bag/Go Bag/Bug Out Bag? If So, What's In It?

I buy in bulk as well. That's bodybuilding for you. I have not bought TP in like 6 months and I was never one of those TP hoarding freaks when covid hit.

Kinda. My friend inherited this cottage from his granps by the country side close to where we grew up. Its next to a river and pretty much completely hidden, theres like 6 neighbors in a 5mile radius. He gave me and another friend keys for it back in like 3rd grade (we known eachother since daycare srs). Place was a fkn blast growing up, little rachety but it had everything, sauna,river,fireplace and electricity. 100s of nights spent there either partying or just chilling with the bois. We still go there almost every summer, on midsummer day we raft the river down (10miles) with 40€ blowup boats and get yucky as fukk!!! We skipped on it last summer tho, everyones getting busy. Havent been there in a while. Last time i went there to hide some weed like last january but thats a different story. If chit ever goes down ill be going there fr.

this one is on a road but we choose it because there are very few feeder roads, it is a very convoluted route from the busiest roads in the area, and every road leading in has a bridge on it that we can easily blockade or destroy. The land between the roads would be pretty impossible to traverse except by foot or quad.

Yeah that's the thing. I thought about building it with concrete but I'm getting more on the idea of doing the shell out of fiberglass and pouring the concrete around it that way I know I've got it 100% sealed.
Been thinking of designing it much like one of these.



Or this.
This design would would actually be easier to do in fiberglass cause I could build it in sectional panels with the ribs formed in at the same time, and I could build it to any length I want

Brah, not only does that sound like a phucking awesome bugout location, but it sounds like some awesome times spent there enjoying life. Seriously mirin.

I love the bridge aspect, because like you said, destroying them would give you a huge advantage on anyone trying to get near you. Making trespassers travel by foot levels out the playing field in a way and gives you more time to respond.

The fiberglass idea is rock solid. I like that better than a shipping container I think because fiberglass is more impervious to moisture than steel is by a long shot. I gotta look into those shell-style looking shelters. They look perfect.

One idea I seen that was good was those big plastic septic tanks. There's a prepper on youtube that uses them for shelters, and the smaller ones for dry storage.
Think they (used to) cost about $600 bucks for the large ones.

I think a "bugout location" is an unrealistic fantasy for most people

How do you know you'll be able to make it there during a disaster?
Are you really going to check on it regularly to make sure it's in good condition and there's no squatters etc?
Are you gonna buy double everything to keep both your house and bugout location stocked up on supplies?
Could someone else just take it for themselves before you get there?
Is it gonna be fully equipped with everything you need to live there permanently?

Idk brah, I think most people would be better off just living in a rural area in normal times and just stay there and "bug in" if there's a disaster. There's a lot of advantages to already being at your location before the disaster happens

You really want to try to travel to your location during a disaster? What if the roads are blocked by abandoned cars because people are panicking? What if you end up needing to walk there on foot? What if you get attacked on the road? Not trying to be argumentative or anything, just offering another viewpoint

Wtf at you guys talking about living in storage containers and septic tanks buried underneath the ground. If the world is fked enough that I have to live in a 10x20 cell underground and live off of rice and beans I’d rather die.

You guys are going about it wrong.

My house IS my bug out location.

Small town. acreage. House is in the woods/no visible neighbors. Small brook nearby. No large population centers nearby. Have the skills and tools to perform most tasks on my own.

I’m not a prepper by any means….. but I’m self sufficient. If one of these crazy shtf scenarios ever happened the biggest change to my life would be that I just wouldn’t have to go to work anymore.

Oh, and I guess I’d have to learn to hunt too…..but Since I have deer, rabbits, turkeys, squirrels, bear etc wandering through my yard all the time I can’t imagine it’d be that hard to chill in my yard with a rifle and blast one.

My thought are life would suck and you’d eventually be looted by survivor tribes and probably butchered for your meat. Better off running into the radiation

Wife's family has land in the South Pacific, but it's not exactly easy to get to and the island is already overpopulated, so we're probably better off just staying here.

Another strategy is just have enough stuff so that you can take over someone else's bugout place. Or realistically during any major disaster there will be tons of empty houses where people are displaced or dead. Or if you have firepower simply take one over and kill whoever's inside. Hunker down near a river and just set up shop. Why build anything?
