Good thinking. We get cougars on the rare occasion in our suburban neighborhood. They travel the east-west “wilderness corridor” until it hits the north-south electrical/petroleum route and then follow that.
I keep a pair of large bolt cutters in the truck so that will be useful. And we are right near the recently fortified electrical substation - so can get around that easy enough. That is sort of a interesting/spooky place. Several years after 9-11 they did a lot of construction on the place. Dump trucks were moving in and out for months. No new buildings or structures except for a double fence around the entire place and a large “decorative” wall around the front. Decroative in the sense of randomly missing blocks in the wall. I’m guessing to be used as gun ports.
A neighbor that worked for one of the competing companies that lost the bid for the work said they built a new structure five stories deep. That would make sense with all of the dump trucks.
I like to relate that story - if the government and the utility companies think it is wise to spend millions of dollars on one facility - we should also be putting some effort into planning for a disaster. I’m still curious as to what it is all about they have there - it is a relatively small substation and office building surrounded by residential homes.

Excellent comments.
Focus on God now and you will be guided.
Of course, we encourage must remember.
Trust God, but also tie our horse.

Does anyone truly wish to escape the terrors of the Tribulation (or the Apocalypse)?
Simple . . . Come to Jesus Christ and be saved!
“Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life” (John 5:39-40).
“Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name” (John 20:29-31).
Everything that our country stands for is found in the Word of God - the Holy Bible. It would seem that this would be the easiest decision in the world for people that claim to be conservatives.
Five seconds after the Tribulation begins, there will be NO conservatives.
The recent hurricane Irma was an education for me in terms of preparedness; I was planning on leaving Florida at 4:30AM and 'beat the traffic' on Tuesday morning.
Auto travel during a mass evacuation ...Wrong !
The three major roads running North/South were already congested, and automobile travel was 4 - 9 mph, and after three congested exits, I returned home to try again earlier next day.
Wednesday, 2:30 AM, road conditions were the same, with authorities encouraging travel on the road shoulders, gas lines were a long wait,
and overwhelmed rest stop facilities were inadequate to handle such a massive flow of 6.1 Million of Florida humanity.
Rather than join in 'running the gauntlet' with other motorists, I chose to return home and 'shelter in place'.
I made ice for refrigeration power loss - blew out the bottom of mom's old aluminum stock pot- but now had three 4 quart ice cubes for the coolers,
gas for the outdoor grill, and converted a 30 gallon trash can (with a new plastic liner) as a water reservoir along with the bathtub.
'Sheltering in place' required some improvisation, establishing strategy tactics, and defining reasonable priorities.
Even as I was getting myself prepared, I found myself helping out my neighbors and lessening their concerns about the hurricane.
I also learned that with a mass migration and forced evacuation in the State of Florida recently, travel from points further South than Ocala is useless.
FreedomStar3028 :" All planning falls apart.
Because no plan can take into account your fellow human being."
That is why you should practice your "bugging in", or "bugging out" plan , and
have enough flexibility to have a 'plan B', and 'plan C' for backup.
Hat Tip to Kartograher, and LucyT
Was that yesterday? The world ending? It didn’t. Is the apocalypse the end of the world? Not the same as the rapture, is it?
None of that happened.
No electricity. No gasoline or other fuels. No working water or other plumbing systems. No law n order. Lack of food and above mentioned water. Puerto Ricans all over the place.
THIS.
Check out the Water Bob plastic bag for your bathtub. Useful thing to know about and have around for water storage.
The guy who prophesied the ending yesterday recanted on Friday.
The rapture happens after the first resurrection of the dead (there are 2, one of those who rise when the Messiah (Christ) returns to rule after the man of lawlessness is revealed—2 Thess 2) and the rest of the dead rise at the end of Messiah’s rule on earth when the universe is destroyed and a new heaven/earth created for eternity.
Agreed ! Water Bob is a good way to store 50-80 gallons of potable/drinkable water
One thing that I have noticed is price increases in Prepper supplies; (ie.was $21.95, now $29.95 )
and includes the supply hose.
Indeed.
As we just experienced when Irma came to visit, no plan A survives contact with the event.
While we were wholly prepared and it all ‘worked as needed,’ we lived the reality of “ adapt, improvise, overcome.”
good stuff
That’s why you need Plan A, B, C.
Needs to be repeated :
The best way to survive the ‘apocalypse’ is to no longer be upon the Earth, rather to be in the clouds with fellow believers whom Jesus has returned to take to the Father’s House where there are many rooms.
Thanks!

A bug-out plan is usually falling apart because it’s too complex.
As I learned more skills and discovered new talents (Cooking, medicine, water filtration and starting fires with no tools) I found my bug out bag and bug out plan was becoming simpler and simpler.
The more you know, the less you have to carry.
The most important preparation for emergency is found in your head, and can be learned on Youtube, if nothing else.
