Say you bug out while the grid is down or something really bad happens where there's no police to help us no fire fighters and more stuff like that and when you come back to your house when everything is over and your house is destroyed is the government going to help us get our house and things back or are we left to restart on our own and not have any money and house left?

You are on your own. You always have been. Help from the government is like a Barbie band aid for a shotgun wound. Have you looked at any of Bear's videos on his missions? You should...we all should. They'll open your eyes quicker than anything I could write here. If it is a true SHTF situation, as in no power, gas, or any of the other modern niceties we enjoy [?] now, do you really think Unca Sammy, in any of his manifestations, is going to be able to do anything? These are the things you need to plan for now. Could you build a shelter/house if you lost the one you have? Are your preps diversified enough that you would still 'have' if you lost your house? If this is a real worry for you and it should be, do a simple exercise to help you visualize just what it would be like. For one week, shut off your power, put your cell phone away and live rough. As in no ready hot water, no refrigeration, no TV, no cell phone, no way to cook a meal. Could you do it? Need to try and see just what it could be like. No cheating either, lol. No going out to eat, no buying bottled water or any other type of products. Live from your preps and your intelligence only. It'll wake you up quick.
I started prepping because of an ice storm and no power for a week. Found out real quick I was screwed big time. Thought I was getting better at being prepared, shut the power off and didn't use tap water or the sewer. Only used what we had on hand in our preps. Found out where we were weak at real quick. Lick Bear says "use your stuff" I found out real quick I was still not ready. Fine for almost a week but need way more stuff.
If things are so bad that you're bugging out. Then things "get better" you will likely be returning to some level of disarray, especially if you live in a urban or suburban area. At that time if the government still exists you'll find that it is over worked and totally unprepared to help everyone. It will help a select few for whatever reasons it so chooses.
I'm of the opinion if you are bugging out you're never going back. Or if you are it is with the understanding that it will be vastly different and unlikely to be like it was "before."
Biblically speaking, sad to say there will be a "lot" less people and if you stay away long enough God/ Ya will have taken " Care" of the BAD! So it will be time to start over.
Heck if it gets that bad that you have to leave and you are able to get back even, there might not be any government as we know it. And to help you sorry I bet you are on you own, Brother you better get a plan for that scenario if you think it may happen.
The government is not there for you... They are there for themselves. Cops are people too with families and lives that are needing to put their own lives back together.self reliance is just that.. If you are even considering the government bailing you out then you won't make it to the end anyway. You are already a victim of attrition
You need to prep hard now. Not fussing but you should have been prepping at least five years ago minimum. Not to toot my own horn but I am prepared. I have food stacked to the rafters. I also have 250 gallons of fuel gasoline that is. 200 gallons of water in 55 gallon drums. I have a generator to run my home. I also have a second generator , two is one one is none . I do not need any cops because I am very well prepared. I would also hope that I would never need the fire department being that I am home 24/7 . I actually have all types of medications as well as surgical kits. I have many B.O.B kits which are in all three vehicles. This is the third home that I have built myself which I actually mean I built with my bare hands and subbed out only the tile work. So I'm ready for whatever comes about. All this is just a little bit of what I've got for my family's preparedness .I would suggest that you take care of you & yours alike and begin to do some extensive prepping and preparedness. I wish you the best as I do to everyone.
Adrian...I hope we didn't scare you off with our comments. They are not made to be hurtful, just truth. Sometimes it's hard for us, the ones who have been ridiculed for years, to be hit with a lot of people, who all of a sudden, find themselves in a place we said was coming a long time ago. It's a major frustration that we couldn't get you to listen before. So I am hoping you did get some information here to help you start moving in the right direction. I say again, go and watch Bear's videos on You Tube and if you find him helpful become a patreon member. There's a lot more on there you can't get on YT.
when family fled the London blitz some people never came back they knew there would be no point
i doubt seriously that the gov't will help you recover, maybe if you had special insurance for riots and looting you could recover some of your stuff...who knows though i say your on your own.
I have prepared, and it's good to be prepped. This may not be popular but no matter how prepped you are in the end we will all have to hide in one way or another. If you are out in the boonies enough you might last longer than others. Eventually no matter how much stuffs you have you might end up with just what you can carry. Luckily this could be later than sooner God willing.
