Should Everyone Have a Camping Backpack?
Most of us buy insurance to protect our cars and homes. Some of us also buy life insurance to provide for our loved ones in the event of our untimely death.
The topic I’d like to discuss is whether or not it makes sense to have a camping backpack prepared ahead of time if an unexpected emergency should force you and your family to leave your current home.
There are a variety of things that could force me to abandon my home. Fire, for example. Or a hurricane. I have also considered the possibility of a foreign power attacking the United States. There are lots of other things that could make me abandon my home, but these few examples are enough.
