I made a bug out bag

.
Well done!

Personally I worry most over psychos ~
as in those around us,
especially predatory men...

I can take death and Skyfall
but 99,999% of other people disgust me!

Their stupid thoughts, weakness,
draining energy vampires,
narcissists, mental illness, etc

I read horror stories from New Orleans
as people got pushed into sports stadiums
after Katrina flooding...

Locked in with r@ppists, killers,
mentally ill who's without medicine.
Addicts, druggies with delerium...

Many men use / abuse women in dire stress.
Chivalry is dead,
as many are addicted to {{{Their P.0.®.N.}}}
which program men to be abusive...

{{{ Their P.0.®.N. }}}

The hatred of women is extreme nowadays,
just read posts online,
threads full of men hating women,
any thread here with female words in title
gets flooded with raw bullying & abuse...
and such men turn psycho in a crises.

A predator is never as charming
as when it's hungry...

They lovebomb you, then they strike...

So never drop your guard!

Maybe 20 years ago that would have been true but not so much now.

They sell bags with MOLLE all over them at Ross.

My main pack is a surplus multicam medium ruck with the small external frame and it just looks like beat up military surplus unless and until it's on my back over my plate carrier combat shirt and head to toe multicam.

But if I'm wearing all that you can bet I've got either my shorty AR pistol or my 16" AR slung and a Glock riding high on one hip.

At which point people can feel free to try to take my shirt, really it's fine I have another couple hundred rounds on stripper clips to refill my ready mags with and could use extra moving target style practice.

I get the feeling that at least half the people here who talk about people taking other people's shit are people who think they don't need to bother to prepare because they can just TAKE from those who wisely chose to prepare.

If that's the case and you're one of those people please do realize that the people who have chosen to prepare and gotten themselves ready for what's coming have long since made the decision that their stuff and their survival is worth WAY MORE THAN YOUR LIFE!

Most people who have chosen to prepare don't want to have to hurt much less kill anyone... (I didn't spend more than $1000 on medical gear etc solely for myself. If I see someone who needs help I will absolutely help them).

But we will hurt or kill people if we have to.

Realistically though, I have a dozen loaves of white bread in my freezer plus the stuff to make my own white bread after that's exhausted and a shocking amount of peanut butter and jelly as well as other stuff in my supplies SPECIFICALLY so I can help people who need my help when the time comes.

This isn't a survival video game, this is real life.

In real life community and trying to retain your humanity in the face of inhuman situations is my goal and should be most of your goals too.

If you try to bush whack me I'll leave you leaking dead where you fall... If you approach me peacefully and ask for help there's an overwhelmingly good chance that I'll just help you out from my own stocks or do my best to help you find a way to get what you need.

It kinda scares me how much negativity most people here are looking at the approaching situation with.

Just because we're headed into bad and trying times does not mean that we automatically have to become bad and selfish people.

In reality, trying times are what bring the best out in Many.

Don't tell anyone where

Wow, congrats Kate!

If the world only had more people like you - we'd have NOTHING to worry about!

No snikkers or chips?!
That's disgusting.

First I’m out of the city and moved for a job to a smaller town in May, so it’s better. However, if it’s food they are going after and people become hungry, it won’t be safe here either. That’s why I’m doing something with my camper right now, putting in a small wood stove and stocking up on propane as well.

Yes I have food, working towards a years supply. I’m roughly following a list. I’ll post it.

I do have water stored and I bought a berkey, I want to still get additional filters for it, they’re expensive!

My solar, crank rechargeable radio is on my bug out bag, you can see it, it’s hanging on a clip.

.

Yeah.. They all should have prepped bug out bags..

Stock up on some foods that need little if any cooking or water. Canned baked beans, tuna, salmon, crackers, peanut butter. Other canned meats, canned chili, turkey, chicken.

Keep most of that stash in your camper. If you need to hike a distance, dig a hide hole along the way with the above and water.

With a bullet to a brain.

US army style poncho/shelter half. Keeps you dry on the move or camping or use as ground cloth in good weather. Do not buy surplus (used) they're always patched and leak. Cabela's makes good ones.

Kate,

Excellent Job !

the best advise I or anyone else can give you, is to train with what you have. Take a long walk everyday wearing your pack loaded out to get use to the weight and make weekly trips to the gun range to train so you will be 100% comfortable with your firearms.

Get these to throw in there.

where's your hammock (and rope) and your space blankets and how bout a change of undies? and a big garbage bag for the rain? a compass and a cell charger and flashlight and radio???

Not afraid of what is to come. The Christ is my bug out bag.

Right now my neighbour to the north lost her husband to a heart attack, she needs a hand or will wind up in the old folks home. Mom and I are helping how we can. My neighbour to the west has gotten a heart condition murmers. On some heavy meds with bad side effects. Neighbour to the east has legs so swollen he can barely move. His yard that was always tidy is a mess. I dont have time to help them all. They are all vaxxed.
The guy to the east knew about the problems with the vaxx but caved when travel was taken away from him. Lots of work. Friends and family are vaxxed. Many are starting to realize the truth and are in denial or affraid. I did what I could to warn them some even to the point of effecting our relationship. Even so, now I feel I should have done more...
some blame me for not doing more. I understand its coping mechanisms for grief.

Really down today but thats just a feeling, Truth is found in the word and the end is certain by the victory of and in the Christ.

Just want to encourage all believers that now is the time to become the beings that you were created to be.

Anything is possible in the Lord and you were made for this time.

I would fill a bag with bibles along with the preps. Oil for the lamp and press the word upon upon the heart sharper than any blade as this is all that matters.

If that is you in your pic then you should bug out here to FL. I have a boat, pool, decent sized home and alcohol to make cocktails. Nothing bad is going to happen so you may as well have fun while looking for it to go down. Just a thought. Live life and don't be afraid.

That's a great kit, Kate.

We have a set very similar to yours with basic "on your own" necessities and tools.

Not with intention to live indefinitely in the backwoods, but to be able to transition safely, successfully and with as much comfort as possible from a high-risk situation to a low-risk situation if that becomes necessary, over a period of many hours or a few days.

Our kits are focused more around the idea of transport and temporary lodging or for being able to make do in case of being stuck in a train station or bus depot for hours (or days) because transportation has been disrupted... also on being able to live out of our vehicles for a few days if needed.

We have other, longer-term supplies as well, but like you, they are centered around portable habitation in a camping trailer.

One item I might suggest for your BOB is a "water key" - it's a special handle for opening water spigots, the kind that are typically found on building fronts and back-alleyways for businesses, who don't particularly want hobos to be opening the faucets and letting them run... you know, the kind with no handle. I don't believe any reasonable business, during an actual emergency, would have any issue with one of us opening that spigot just long enough to fill a water bottle and keep moving. Doesn't weigh much or take up a lot of room - could be an invaluable source of hydration. Just a thought.

For other great inspirations check out a website called "Listening to Katrina" which has a lot of great info and after-thoughts on successfully managing a forced emigration from a disaster area. The part many people fail to really think about is what happens after they have left the disaster area, and are now in a place of relative safety - do you get to go back? Or do you now have to start your life over in this new place? And do you have with you the crucial elements to manage that transition effectively? Great food for thought.

Where are you going, and what would cause you to leave?

Thanks for the additional ideas! I was thinking about a canteen instead of the water bottles in the bag. I have tablets and a life straw in the bag.
I bought a berkey for my camper.

Just FYI, I’m always watching Sensible Preppers channel on YT, he’s good!

I want to you to prep your sexy coinslot for my massive trouser trout.

Cool. Good job.

You're a impressive person. My get home bag is to get home - 10 miles. Much smaller.

I've used these for years because good and cheap.

I think she already has toothpicks.

Well Kate, this is a conspiracy site. Many here try to see the "why" behind what is out there. I am wondering why an attractive woman would put her picture up here. Maybe you want attention, maybe you don't know the annoyance -maybe even dangers of internet stalkers. I wish you the best either way. Nevertheless, you might get a kick out of looking up the phrase "There are no girls on the internet."

It didn't take long to prove what I warn about
in my post, top of page 4
Thread: I made a bug out bag (Page 4)

Sigh...

Hey Nutmeg, I’m just building my Arc getting ready for the coming storm. :)

Yep - she might be a pasty fat overweight incel in mom's basement larping away. We'll never know.

Most important thing is your brain.

To survive you need shelter, fire, water. Food is last.

Learn how to play the fiddle.

You are smart to consider things.

In the beginning I bought all kinds of stuff, even a motorcycle.

But now I will just keep a knife and a water filter straw.

Since I can't afford to cover every possibility, I will live as long as I can adapt to whatever happens, or as long as I care to.

Let THE CREATOR sort it out!
