Why does it have to be either/or?

Yeah, it's stupid to quit your job and run out to the middle of nowhere with no plan. But what can we do at the same time?

Can we just have a bug-out place of our own (not on someone else's private property) with our stuff buried and slightly set-up? You don't need to quit your job- just do a little preparation here and there every weekend. For example, if you are doing the teepee thing, collect the poles and have them ready for you at a "campsite" (but don't set up everything.. stay hidden). Learn about the edible foods in your own area. Experiment with alternative solutions to electricity/gas/water in your own home. Grow food on your patio or porch or balcony in trays or pots. The best thing you can do is be independent- you don't need to be in the woods to start learning about how to do it. You might find out that if you can be off the grid "enough" in the city/burbs, you might just find a way to hunker down and not have to leave at all.
