I hope to move Montana or Idaho in the next couple of years if at all possible taking everything I have accumilated with me.

please remember for whatever you have, if you dont have the training on how to use it, then when SHTF it will be next to useless.
You must have started a long time ago. Bugging in sounds better to me. It looks way riskier planning to bug out, than staying put and having everything prepared at home. I'm thinking of writing an "if scenerio chart" just to broadly help me remember the first thing to do in each "if" situation, then do a little drill and try to find loopholes that need fixed. I actually rely greatly on the media (all sorts), seeing the trends and what's more possible to come.

A simple example, there's a huge winter storm heading for alaska/ euro economy in deep crap (where I'm visiting in january), and efforts to attack iran, and iran says they will create war on American streets if they were attacked... so this could greatly increase security in America.. so what does that mean for me wanting to fly in january?

I started over 12 years ago with my ex and I. even though we are not together anymore, she still stocks up.
