You’ve already got your bug-out bags (BOBs) and you have several bug-out locations in mind. Everyone in the family knows what to do when SHTF, but how do you know when it’s time to bug out? (h/t to ReadyNutrition.com)
When it comes to bugging out, you need to be realistic and observant. Prepare your BOB and gear right now, if you haven’t done so already. No one can predict when exactly a survival scenario will take place, but if you’ve already prepared, then you’ve already won half the battle.

To get a head start, observe everything happening around you. Estimate events, and compare the possible outcomes with the probable. Once you’ve narrowed down your list, decide on the best course of action and act “when you know and feel it is the time to do so.”
There are 14 keys that will help you pick up on things before SHTF. Remember that the more events you tick off from the list below, the higher the chance of a disaster is. Here are some signs that you need to watch out for:
Sponsored solution from the Health Ranger Store: Lab-verified Nascent Iodine solution is a dietary supplement that provides your body with supplemental iodine to help protect your thyroid during radiation exposure. Nuclear accidents such as Fukushima (or nuclear war) can expose your body to radioactive iodine-131, a dangerous radioisotope. Pre-loading your system with stable iodine occupies the iodine receptor sites on your organs, causing your body to naturally expel radioactive iodine you may have been exposed to through air, food, water or milk products. This defensive strategy is recommended by nearly all health authorities, worldwide, including the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Discover more at this link.
Remember that this is an incomplete list so you still need to be vigilant. The sad thing is, despite these telltale signs, not everyone will try to prepare for the inevitable need to bug out.
The best thing to do is to plan ahead, don’t tell anyone about your plans, and be self-sufficient so you can keep yourself and your family alive when SHTF.
