It can be one to get you to a friend's or relative's house even if that is by car. You can have a few clothes and some other essentials already packed . In your bag, you could add some extra survival stuff (fire kit, water filter, knife, etc.) while the rest of your family's bag is benign clothing/snack bars. Your packs could be something you use if you had a house fire, storm damage to your house, etc. Your packs could get you to hotel or someone else's house. No one has to know you are even prepping.

    Disclaimer...Do not run into a burning building to grab anything.
    I think you missed a key point in my not having a BOB: "Where do I go?"

    No friends who can support me even for a short while (closest lives in a rented room) or they are close enough (50-100 meters) for it not to matter.
    Family? No thanks, I don't want my kidney stolen or my children molested.
    "Every person’s life is theirs by right. An individual’s life can and must belong only to himself, not to any society or community, or he is then but a slave. No one can deny another person their right to their life, nor seize by force what is produced by someone else, because that is stealing their means to sustain their life. It is treason against mankind to hold a knife to a man’s throat and dictate how he must live his life."



    COFFEE!

    It happened before, it can happen again.
    It happened there, it can happen here.
    It happened to that person, it can happen to you.
    No one is immune to the trials and tribulations of life.

    I'm not allowed at the Zoo anymore...

    I bought back packs for my two dogs. I put leashes, individual meals that vacuum sealed, a collapsible dish in each of my dogs packs. My bigger dog also gets to carry their water bottle. I liked the idea someone mentioned about having muzzles in their packs as well.

    Good thread. Great reminders. Been so busy lately I haven't thought about any of this. Need to check the GHB's in the car and truck. Took the food out for the summer so they wouldn't spoil. They need refreshing with cold weather clothes.
    I've always got my Medical bag in order since I keep it in the house.

    It is getting to be that time of year to go back through your kits. Switch winter gear for summer gear. Bumped the thread!
