You seem insecure about something, there isn’t any reason a thread about preparedness should set you off.
Many of us here at FR carried BOBs in the military especially LRRPS, many of us here are outdoors-men and hunters that learned to carry survival kits and BOB in our cars when we are visiting remote areas where car trouble can mean a long, even overnight journey on foot.
Many of us here have been awakened by an earthquake and had to flee our homes, or had to flee fire when a BOB is a very good thing to have.
Personally I grew up in hurricane country and thought that preparedness was a way of life, even now in Sol. Cal. when the fires get close to my home I grab my BOB and set it by the door, I always refuse the voluntary evacuations so having a BOB is a sensible precaution for me as it is for anyone else.
Some people are just independent and in the American tradition of old we like to be ready for whatever life throws at us.
I have a customer that lives about 15 miles from her office where she had her office wear and shoes and nothing else, I’m glad that she now keeps a BOB that has the stuff in it that she will need if she ever has to walk that 15 miles home under unpleasant conditions during an emergency, or even if she just has to spend a night or two at the office instead of getting home.
People who live day to day die tomorrow......don’t worry about em !........:o)
No. I'm not insecure or set off. I'm making fun.
This is a thread; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2250063/posts about two waitresses getting into a fight. Many FReepers are making fun of them and the situation but I don't think you would accuse the FReepers of “being insecure” or “being set off”.
