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.

Your first step should be to find an ideal location for your bug-out shelter. This should be a location far enough away from major cities and towns to ensure safety, but yet easy enough to reach on just one tank of gas. After all, if there's no power, you cannot get fuel and you might not have time to stop and fill up along the way anyway.

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.

Klickitat County, located in southern Washington, is an excellent bug-out spot for people who live in or around Vancouver, Portland or Seattle. Just a few hours from all of these cities, the land is generally good for growing food, has plenty of hunting and fishing opportunities and has very few residents. In addition, you will find that the land prices are quite reasonable, which makes it affordable to use as a bug-out location or even relocate permanently and transform your property into a survivalist retreat. At Klickitat Valley Realty, the staff can help you find a remote spot of land that might be perfect as doomsday prepper land, survivalist land or a bug-out property. Be sure to look for property where you can place a house or shelter so that it cannot be spotted easily from the road.

After you purchase bug-out land, you can begin to prep for disaster. Obviously, you must store a wide variety of supplies at the bug-out property, but your bug-out plan also includes having supplies at the ready at your main residence. You should be able to load up food, clothing and supplies in just a matter of minutes and be able to dash away. You also should have a backpack with about three-days of supplies for each person in your family. That way, if you must leave your car, you can survive on foot for several days.

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.
