The family that lives in the house across from me just packed up

A u haul and left with 2 other vehicles. Pretty sure they didn't move out as they left a big camper trailer that has to cost over 60k and a bunch of other things. They bugged out for sure.

Its a small city and we live on the outskirts of it. Lots of farmland. Seemed a bit like they were over reacting.

seem to be hosting ALL their relatives. Normally there is one car and a panel truck there (the guy does some type of mobile repair) but for the last few weeks there have been 2 RVs, a smaller winnebago, 2 cars and a truck pulling a uhaul. All total I would say at least 8-10 adults, 12-16 children (under 6) and about 20 dogs.
I'm not sure how that's better than where they came from, but they don't stay put either. It's a constant stream of people coming and going.

If I did, which I don't, I probably would have gotten out of this building and this city too.

out in the boonies are not ready to treat CV patients. People forget that, and it can take up to 2 weeks for symptoms to appear.

In some cases, bugging out will be a very, very bad idea.

My husband and I are moving in 2 weeks, but we actually have until the end of the month to move out of our current house. We also will have a uhaul, but may keep a few things here until everything is organized at the new place. Does that mean we are bugging out?

Not everything is a conspiracy, it just happens that we signed onto a new lease before the lockdown was called, and I’m not waiting. I am excited about moving into our new place, and it will give me something to look forward to in this otherwise depressing time.

A young couple in a house across from me runs a business out of their large garage supplying setups for large meetings and conferences, a business that obviously crashed. I believe one of the parents is very wealthy.

Suddenly last week they seemed to not be staying in the house and I'm guessing they're off with the wealthy parents at a remote retreat somewhere.

just kidding

my former co-worker has owned a bug out place for years and an extra vehicle only meant to be driven in a SHTF scenario. He was the odd duck at work... now he's he smart one.

He was paranoid, believed in some conspiracy theories. Didn't call his place a "bug out" place but from description I could tell its purpose. and one day his car was in the shop and he was bummed about putting any miles on this extra vehicle.
