I am old and tired. Bugging out is not an option for me. Those that have that option am like good for them. Just wish I was younger but I am not. Keep up the fight. I do stand with you.

[jkholley]

To be honest, I'm not going anywhere. I'm prepared to bug in and I'm willing to die here. I have had a good life and live to enjoy each day for as long as I can.

[jerseystotler]

Yep that is good advise! But I'm to old and have too many pets to go running around all over the place!! I'll just make my stand right here, plus there's nowhere for me to go anyway!!!! God Bless!

Collapsible wagons are good to keep in the vehicle

We do have a bug out bag at our daughter's house, 15 miles away. She also has one at my house. We are rural and mountainous, our biggest threat is wild fire. Our bug out location is a half acre lot at the edge of a small town 30 miles away. It has carport and storage shed, that are both used as water collectors, along with a 3, 000 gallon water storage tank. Up here, the very most secure hidey hole for your stuff is a hole in the ground. We buried a couple of 20 gallon barrels of supplies.

I have used this incident in Ohio to show friends and family how it is not pointless to have an evacuation plan and a bug in/bug out bag. I always keep on in the back of the vehicle. Been made fun of by coworkers for taking it along on work trips. Funny how when you can change the perspective how people can change their minds on a topic. I have a friend, all his family was big on emergency prep... then one by one they all were diagnosed with diabetes except for my buddy. They said there was no point, even if they escape a situation they would not make it long without insulin. I used this Ohio thing to get him back into it. I asked if it was pointless for those families to leave the general area until it was safe or they figured things out. There are all sorts of reasons to keep some stuff handy.

The most important thing for survival is water. You can buy food grade barrels to store water at your home. Each human drinks more than 850 gallons of water every year. You can live without food for weeks, but you will die in three days without water.
I suggest that you buy a waterway map for your region. This will give you a map of every stream, river, and lake. Learn them, go to them, and explore. You might find a natural spring that requires very little additives as a purifier.

The bicycle tired baby stroller is great for hauling gear. Most can handle up to 150 lbs of gear or even your baby. Yard sales are an excellent place to buy them.

So you'll make your own life easier if you already have this sorted. Bug out bag (obv). Fireproof box for documents and pictures. Home toolbox, car toolbox, garden box. Camping stuff. Pet stuff (including their vaccine docs). DIY fast food (quick to grab, easy to prepare). In other words, organize your house for the little emergencies and you'll be ready for the big ones.

Thumbs up for counting pets. Too many people would just leave them behind.

I'm speaking from experience... Otherwise, it's a top channel, listen to what the man has to say. He thinks properly

I also am old. I cannot walk much and there for cannot hike. I have an EDC of many low price items. I have a. Bag for my car. On my farm there is an old milking parlor. It is a cement block building with a deep cement pit. I am treating it as my bugout site. I use totes for storage . I cannot wear a back pack. In the milking parlor building I am storing bug out items plus a lawn chair, solar lights various lantern, food, water plus ways to make water safe. Have some tools and many other items. This building is a place to go when we have some thing like a fire or severe damage to my home. My home is better stocked for emergencies but this gives me an alternative, if needed. First I amstocked my homes first floor, then I stocked my basement. Now the milking parlor. In emergency I would not be able to carry emergency supplies to the basement so a helper is helping to stow minimal emergencies supplies, in advanc. Same with the milking parlor.

Great video! I have several bug out bags, each one contains supplies for specific situations. Always kept by my front door is a backpack containing absolute essentials that I can grab at a moments notice. I also keep my cat’s go bag and carrier by the front door. I do this after having experienced a mandatory wildfire evacuation where I was given only 20 minutes to evacuate. I also have a list handy that has other items to grab if time permits. Don’t rely on your brain to remember everything if you have just minutes to act, especially if you are startled awake in the middle of the night by a loud speaker warning you to get out and now! More recently, I grabbed my by the door bags when I fled my 5th wheel during extreme damaging high winds. Thank goodness my cat enjoys hanging out in his cat carrier, it make it so much easier to evacuate with him.

Very good vid. One thing I did not hear was "Always keep your vehicles no lower than 1/2 full of fuel After all no power in a wide area NO fuel available!

[crazyrabbitlady]

Trying to take all that is unrealistic for me. I'll be dying on this hill.. With all my livestock and pets.

A good hypodermic needle is good to have also for smashed fingers. Blood under fingernails when smashed creates huge pain. You can carefully drill through a fingernail/thumbnail post smashed with a hypodermic needle to relieve pressure and pain. I have done this several times in life and the relief is immediate. You must be careful tho and not pput too much pressure on it because when you finally punch through the nail you could go too far. Take needle and place against center of nail between thumb and trigger finger and spin needle while applying a little pressure. Let needle drill hole. It might take a minute or two but once you get through the nail pull needle out and gently squeeze to release trapped blood. Pain will diminish almost immediately. Better to do this then have a throbbing finger or thumb. Especially if it is your trigger finger.

Good vid. I'll toss in sturdy footwear into the clothing section you mentioned. We even carry hiking boots in our vehicle year around, if they're not on our feet already. Out here in the Trans-Pecos area of TX, you wouldn't want to be walking even a few miles with sandals, flip-flops, high heels or even cheap tennis shoes across cactus and rocks--especially when the pavement is well over 150° in June! Another item to add could be the cargo carriers that fit most trailer hitches. Can carry up to 400-500 pounds of payload and can be had for under $100. Better than nothing if you don't have an SUV, Truck or trailer.

I have a 6x12 cargo trailer packed with enough supplies for 6 people to live for 12 Months off grid and have 5 acres deep in the Ozarks. My wife has a tahoe to pull our cargo trailer & i have a tahoe to pull our travel trailer & have a plan to meet a few family members & friends because strength is in numbers
Im lucky to know a nurse a electrician a mechanic and have a cousin that was a gunner Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps.
