I made a bug out bag

Where you planning on bugging out to when it's SHTF?

To my camper if I have to, it will be parked out in the country. It’s being winterized right now.

Bugging in is my first.
If that fails, I’ll grab my bug out bag and get to my camper.
Most food preps will be at the camper.

Ive met people on a prep site and then those close to where I live formed our own group and are talking about things.

Everything is pointing to this Fall. I’ve been prepping hard since June.

I’m worried about people here, the writings on the wall, watching things is just a distraction from preparing for the balloon to pop.

Nice. You should also have at least one reliable firearm.

How about 4 :)

I’ve been busy!

I’ve got a good bug out bag and some food that’s about it finds are limited for a youngin can’t wait for the fall tho gunna be fun

Yeah 4 is good. Gives you more flexibility if you need to trade for ammo.

Hi Kate, wish you well. You don't know me, but don't TELL them everything. Online they survey your thoughts, which is why net online.

And if true, what you say...you got it all. I WISH I had a camper to camp out in. I wish I could stay mobile and am never a real threat in life. I don't envy you, but kind of sometimes wish we could date. Anyway, may God bless you.

may your bag rest in peace...

Well you’ll be more prepared then those that have nothing, hand to mouth right? Do your best, that’s all we can do.

When I was off work (lost over vaxx), I felt so vulnerable, I never want to feel that again!

Well done!

Agree, I’ve said enough already, I’m just trying to reach my friends here, we’ve all seen enough to be convinced bad things are coming, focus on getting ready!

Thank you Don! It’s been lots of work, I’m far from done though. The bug out bag was just one project.

How do you plan to fortify your home if you bug in?

Thank you.

I've been interested in camping stuff since just before Covid. It's amazing how The Most High God has been preparing me for the future. I only hope I can become stronger and it not become easier on me.

The only thing I can think of to share now is solar batteries, will it ultimately help? It may not since Yellowstone ash may block out some sun for awhile, when that happens. Gas? Idk, but don't count on it. I had been collecting camping stuff for several years now and God already had me practicing being off work twice now about six months each time, just before covid happened and got laid off too. But they invited me back after twenty years working there, but no more christmas bonus in thousands, which sucked...but oh well. We must carry on and get ready, yep. It will be chaotic. Great and terrible day.

Not much, it’s an apartment, that’s why I’ll take off to my camper, it’s out of town on private property. That’s the best I can do, but I’ll have lots to bring to the table.

Yes!! Or donate to someone homeless. But, I think things are biblical, the evil is over the top and keeps getting worse.

Please don't bug out to Idaho we are full

I got this at Moosejaw a year or two ago.

And I would ignore idahomac, if you didn't know the content they always post and afraid of acs all the time trying to dictate rules on board.

That’s really nice, wow!

If you but out you'll take off to the camper? Is it mobile or in a safe enough area? And if you bug in the apartment do you have a kit to seal up the doors and windows or anything for barricading them?

Maybe it's safer in Canada but in the states most places will probably be like the Purge.

Do you have food, water, solar radio, shit like that?

One thing I advise everyone to do is to think for all situations. Not everyone is in a rural area. Larger bug out bags are nice when you're already in the woods or in a rural area, but the absolute bare essentials in a common small student type backpack might be a better option if you are in a more populated area. That way you can walk through public without drawing as much unwanted attention, and you can run much faster if necessary. A person with a large almost brand new backpack full of stuff looks like a good resource target to a desperate person willing to assault you for what you have. The more used your backpack looks the better as well, because it creates a visual cue that you might know what you are doing and have more survival type experience. That makes messing with you appear more risky. Sometimes it's also better to appear weak instead of strong. Some of the most invisible people in society are the homeless. Looking dirty, walking slowly, and carrying their stuff in plastic bags. Dressing like one and carrying your stuff in plastic bags is a good bugout option for urban areas or for people who are not as physically fit.

Also, try to devise a setup where you can carry your essentials on your actual body somehow. That way you still have your needs met if someone is able to steal your bugout bag from you or if you have to drop your backpack so you can run faster or climb something.

Also, use your bugout bag stuff as often as possible. Don't just put everything in your bag and let it sit by the door. Use allows you to become familiar with everything you have and fine tune it over time. It also allows you to make sure everything is still functional and decent quality. For instance, once they have been used, some very popular brands of firesteel rods will actually disintegrate to dust if they sit unused for many months. Most people don't realize that. Even something simple like a knife can become an issue in an emergency. If you are used to using your home kitchen knives constantly, you create some muscle memory to the point where you can use them very rapidly without cutting yourself and you know intuitively how easily they cut through different things. If you switch to a different style or shape of knife in your bugout bag all those dynamics change, so you will be more likely to accidentally cut yourself when you least want that to happen. Find a good quality durable smaller sized knife (larger knives are easier to take from you if you ever get into a fight) that you enjoy using regularly in your home kitchen and then buy a duplicate of that knife for you bugout bag. Something simple like a plastic handled stainless bladed Morakniv are some of the best value knives made and they are extremely versatile. They also come with a simple plastic belt clip sheath. I don't think there is a better way to spend $12-15 on survival. Find a second extremely light and small folding knife and put that down in your sock for redundancy. Something like a cheap used Gerber LST is perfect.

Lastly, skills are always better than stuff. Knowledge and experience in your head can't be taken from you and it can make up for many missing resources or deficiencies of preparation.

I wish you the best OP, and everyone else reading this.

I was going to ask if you have a water filter OP? Then I assumed your answer would be yes.

Do you have one of these though? Water filters will be no good at some point. This is essential.

I have made my own with a cork lid. That’s if the way it is explained in the video is not possible for you or anyone to do

Also have you trained with that bag OP? Done dry run hikes under harsh conditions? I’d advise doing that. I did and it was tough under normal circumstances. So I scaled down. Favor mobility

It's good to do this if it makes you feel secure, but if things get so bad, it will be difficult to run. Should things get that bad, years worth of food and supplies will be required not weeks or months.

The best thing to plan for is a temporary interruption of supplies caused by panic buying and people scrabbling. Having a lot of even the most bland, cheap food on hand and water storage containers will save being caught up in a more likely disaster scenario.

Come a zombie apocalypse, survival will be down to (an isolated, fortified) location, having good like-minded neighbours and most of all luck.

I need to manifest a car and a new house with grass around it no stacked up neighbours but ohw the morning alarm clock really thinks of other things nowadays l:
