    Default Bug Out Bag

    If you have one, does it go everywhere with you or is it just sitting at home?

    I get quite the ribbing about why an old lady like me needs a Yukon 4 WD and why is it always full of stuff with moving blankets covering it up. Hah!

    You never know when TSHTF will happen. Could be on way home from dentist, or massage ..... might not be able to make it home. I live 15 miles from town and need to traverse desert to get there. Always have gallons of water in vehicle.

    If the freedom of speech is taken away
    then dumb and silent we may be led,
    like sheep to the slaughter.

    Pretty much all that stuff is up at the cabin... I think we're set up a little differently than most people.

    My home is where I'd want to bug out to. But I do my share of prepping.

    ALICE pack in closet. Take maybe a couple of minutes to "top it off" and I'm gone. Spare gear in the truck. Cammies, boots and a K-bar. Am I supposed to need something else?

    yup...similar set up for me. I know my kids have similar as well.

    I don't have cammies ..... got everything else covered.

    Lately, I'm debating whether I even want to survive whatever comes down. Definitely don't think I'm bugging out. Just making sure I can get home to hunker down.

    I would. Just to piss 'em off and kill as many of the enemy as possible and be as big a pain in the ass as possible

    Why not, Sergeant Major? Take everything I believe in and/or love away from me and I can think of only one reason to get up in the morning. Make life a living Hell for those that did it.

    Lol! I’m still in. If things are that bad, why not go out on one wild ride?

    Actually, I’ve said here before, if things go that crazy, I’m heading to Alaska and begging Rick and Sharon to take us in.
