"Except for a few unlikely cases like a raging wildfire or tornado barreling straight for your house, bugging out is a very bad idea," warns former Navy SEAL Joel Lambert, who says the safest place to secure yourself and your loved ones during a national crisis is the fortress you already know: your own home. ••「 LINKS & SOURCES: https://drdrew.com/12272024 」•• "Why would you ever want to leave your amazing home where you probably have a half full fridge, maybe some cans, a warm bed, a roof over your head, as well as neighbors you know, and terrain you’re familiar with, … only to run OUT THERE to some place you know nothing about and try to forage your daily meals?" explains Lambert, who authored "A Navy SEAL's Bug-In Guide: How to Turn Your House into the Safest Place on Earth" to help others prepare for the unexpected. Joel Lambert is a former Navy SEAL, author, and television personality. He starred in Discovery Channel's 'Manhunt' (known as 'Lone Target' in the US) and 'Predators Up Close.'
