You will be blocked at the boarder (county, state, etc.)
You will be forced into tent, school gymnasiums or mobile home camps setup by FEMA or local authorities
If you go to a State or National Park you will be turned away because they have been overrun.
If they will let you in you will be charged and limited in the number of days that you can stay.
Other refugees will try to rob, rape, mug you and steal all of your possessions.
You may be forced to abandon your vehicle and not be able to carry your possessions
If you think you won't experience those problems go online and study the refugee experiences of hundreds in thousands of well reported and covered news stories all over the world.
Forget conspiracies and think reality. The government is not "out to get you", it is "out to survive", you are inconsequential. In order for "society" to survive the government must maintain order. If you were a town in the countryside with only a hand full of police officers and a hundred square miles of farm land or mountainous area that was suddenly beset upon by thousands of refugees that were desperate and unknown you would beg the Federal Government to intercede. How would they intercede? Well historically they set up camps and herd the refugees into them. The camps are rife with violence, crime and unrest. Study what happened in Homestead, FL after the hurricane or the hundreds of wildfires and their temporary refugees.
Even in the best of scenarios, being a refugee is a disaster. But as I always say; "There is no disaster if you are prepared". So what to do? Well, get out and practice your skills to survive. Do it as often as you can. Find a place that you like, where you are comfortable and you believe provides safety for you and your circle if you had to retreat there. Become regulars, make yourself known, get to know the people, the shop owners, the restaurants, even the law enforcement and park rangers in the area. Make friends and work out a deal to rent, purchase or barter the use of land to boondock on until you can work out more permanent arrangements. It would even help if you flesh out possible opportunities for work. Get to know the people in your field in that area, or figure out what you could do as an alternative in case you need to take up long term residence. If you do these things you will be one of the lucky ones.
If you are able to buy or rent land or a home make sure that you have paperwork to identify you as belonging there. Keep a copy in your Bug Out Bag so that you can present it to government officials who might block your travel. Get a mail drop box in the area that you go to so that you can have some mail addressed to you with that address that is postmarked if nothing else. Any little thing will help in establishing you're "belonging" in your retreat area.
Another good way to set yourself up with a retreat point is to rent land and park a motorhome or travel trailer on it. The more remote the site is the better. Balance that with the ability to get electric service and other amenities. Hopefully the retreat area will not be affected by the "Event" or the tide of refugees. Such accommodations would provide welcome stability and peace in an otherwise disastrous time.
I will go into more detail in articles in the near future covering ideas about how to carry your gear in the event that you are forced to abandon your vehicle
Your Preparations and Buggin Out
The debate among preppers and survivalists is never more polarized than when you bring up the subject of whether you should bug out or stand your ground. For me, with several real world disaster and unrest experiences abroad, I believe that you should always consider that the only real survival is mobile survival. If you cannot be mobile and survive, your survival chances are very low. But no answer is that simple; when you bug out, you are basically becoming a refugee. Look around the world and you will see that the life of a refugee is not surviving, it is barely an existence. If you think that in the event of a SHTF or TEOTWAWKI event you are just going to run for the hills you will be met with one or more very sad realities:
