Maybe it's because of an oncoming natural disaster or an invading army -- or maybe your annoying brother-in-law just called to let you know he's dropping in for the weekend. But whatever it is, you have to get away from wherever you are, ''fast''. You pack a few bags, grab what non-perishable food you can, and bundle the kids into the car before heading off to safer territory. It's a '''Bug-Out''' -- a short-notice escape from some threat that you simply can't weather in place, because if you try, ''something'' bad will happen.
