My home here in the holler IS my bug out bag.
I’m not running anywhere. Unlike one famous FReeper, I have not built an ark to sail off in when the SHTF.
Will just stay put and do whatever the situation calls for.
Yeah, I don’t live near THAT much water like Matt (Travis) does..
Same here... And if it gets sticky here I have another 10 acres with everything needed for the clan on top of a mountain surrounded with cliffs waiting.
I disagree with staying put unless its a natural disaster - though you may get evacuated by Nat Guard anyway.
If its a plague disaster of some kind don’t hesitate to boogie, don’t wait for evac. Don’t wait to get in a Triage line. Just go! Maybe take a few bottles of anti-bacterial solution (stuff for cleaning baby bottles etc) as its gold. Baby formula too. Immodium too. You want to be of value to twenty-something men (prime of life) and they usually have a child who means everything to them.
I have a few BOB blogs... bicycles. Pack a puncture repair set in your BOB. Plenty of bikes will be laying down on the roadside with punctures... ear squishies( one person awake on picket, one person getting undisturbed kip).
Have a target, a goal, don’t meander all over.
