A. American wrote a great series. No doubt it will make you think about getting your stuff right.

Yeah he did, I'm finished with the first 2 but haven't read Forsaking Home yet.

That is what a lot of folks in NOLA thought too.

Thats why folks build on top of a hill rather than in a swamp

Funny, nobody carries a first aide kit.

Im way too old to "Bug Out"
My farm is well stocked with food and ammo so I'm going to just stay here

A bug out bag is also known as a get home bag. It is commonly kept in your vehicle. So, do you always stay at home?



Remember, a get home bag/bug out bag is only meant to keep you going for 3 days tops. You don't want to make it too heavy as it will end up slowing you down.

Thanks Backwoods, just downloaded Going Home

Just downloaded escaping home... yeah gotta make a bag

Funny, nobody carries a first aide kit.

Both of my vehicles have first aid kits in them.

Similar to most of these. I have a little more food and water/water purification. Also have a Survival .22 rifle and some ammo for it, as well as my AR is sitting right next to the bag.

Funny...most of us city slickers plan to bug out to "the farm"! You don't need a bug out bag... you have already bugged out!!!
