Great to hear Poppypiesdad I think there's a feeling among rural folk that the townies intend mass tresspassing should times get bad, and there's the point in a way public/common/land or the moors around these parts couldn't support the mases, and the tresspasser in tough times or WROL is likely to be met with an armed landowner on thier own turf well able to notice if something is out of place and they have unwelcome company.
Unless you are talking about moving to your own (owned) BOL then you could well be treading on someone else's toes, if you are talking bug out to common land then at least initially you may be looking at meeting others there or on the way and forming alliances.
I have a strategy, it's not written in stone, nor can it be, this scenario has too many variables, everything about it depends on those variables, being specific is not possible.
BOL's that we don't own and are secure may indeed have alot more people around than we've seen on a recce, we all need other plans as we don't know what the movement of people or suitability of location will be when 'it' happens, largely because we don't know what 'it' will be...

just a number, nothing to see here, move along now..
To me having a BOL or 3 is just another prep. If I need to bug out I will.
My main fear is the government, under the civil contingencies act they can seize food stocks for 'sharing', that could wipe out our preps and leave us in the position we are prepping to avoid.
Probably/maybe won't happen but if we said that about everything we wouldn't prep at all would we?

Just saying
your exactly right,be even funnier when the owner turns up and tells you all to go away or something on those lines lol
I take it that you both are advocates of bugging in?
hi dannytsg not at all a bug in person i am 50/50 depending on the situation,want to leave options open,you have to remember we are vastly over populated and just because you have seen it i guess a lot of people have too especially if its 0.5 miles away from rochdale, every body who bugs out are going to be looking for water supply and food,just leave your options open you may be better staying put or you may not, don't forget someone owns that land and if the shtf they might enforce there own law on people to defend there own food,water and property.
There are a few good BOLs near me but as said by others - everyone local knows them. I would guess that we would have to form communal groups in the woods. I/we would struggle on our own as the kids are still quite young. A return to the hunter/gatherer society structure would be useful. All dependent on what type of catastrophe has befallen us.
I'm reminded of the scene in Blackadder Goes Fourth when George says "We'll be eating sausages in Berlin before the end of the month" and Blackadder replies "I hope the restaurants are well stocked because everyone seems determined to eat out the moment they arrive". Can you imagine what effect the mass migration of town-folk is going to have on the woodland creature?
