Hey everyone. I'm new to the forums and have found tons of great info on here. Although I have never really considered myself a prepper, I have found that I have come up with a lot of the ideas on the site independently and I feel better knowing that "most" were right.....but many needed a lot of tweaking.
After reading through several posts on what many of your bug out plans are I have one unique to my location that I could use some feedback on. First some background on my location. I live in Savannah, GA. We have two major military bases within 40 miles including Hunter Army Airfield which is located in town and Ft Stewart (3rd Infantry Div). Luckily if SHTF then we have a pretty good chance to maintain order. Unfortunately I live in an city where order would break down quickly due to the large number of "impoverished" residents.
There are really only a handful of ways to exit Savannah if SHTF due to an abundance of marshland and Hunter Army Airfield. Here on the coast we have several barrier islands that lay uninhabited with great cover. Instead of moving with the herd which could lead to several sticky situations, I plan on loading up the boat and moving out to one of these islands.
Here you have all the means for self-sustainment. I plan on carrying all the provisions I would need but if I need to stay longer I have the ability to catch my own food. The island offers great protection and I need to move back into town for more supplies or to scavenge I have that ability as well.
Since I have not seen this idea mentioned on the site, I thought I would write and pick your collective brains. Thanks!
