I myself will be sticking close to home, not so much to "protect" what I have, but because heading for the hills is not the solution many seem to think it is....With the satellite technology that the government has now, you can run but you can't hide! No, I think I'll link up with friends and neighbors and stay home.
I'm not really sure why a government would even want to scour the woods for people who bugged out during a SHTF event. But if they did all they would have to do is wait a year or so. About 99% of the folks would be dead for the following reasons:
1) Shot each other.
2) Starvation.
3) Dysentery.
4) Accident induced trauma.
5) Medical emergencies.
6) Fried (as result of the forest fires they set by accident).
