Re: Bug Out Bag suggestion?
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Texagator</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I've been reading internet posts about "bug out bags" for years. The mall ninja, airsofter, wannabe, Red Dawn-militia bullshit associated with this topic can be staggering. This is especially true once one has some formal training in emergency management, homeland security, tactics, logistics, and weaponry. The notion that one is going to grab their magic bag and make it to the Free Zone is laughable, even if the chair is against the wall and John has a long mustache.
I don't have the time or energy to go into basic
emergency management doctrine but I'll say this: Keep some extra food, water, gasoline, batteries, and ammo at your home. Take a class on first aid and/or basic response to emergency trauma. Combine that with a cool head and some basic self defense and weapons training. If you can't get it done with that, then the problem is much larger than anything you and the Wolverines are going to be able to handle on your own when you try to flee to the mountains.

A bag is a start for emergancy issues but I think the bug out bag idea came more from military operations then conus type Wolverines scenario where we would have to be much more mobil to avoid detection and evade and escape.
I have multiple bags,
a couple medical bags, IV, surgical kit etc
water filtration, purification
various crap all dedicated to survival
ammunition
plenty of firearms
I keep emergency kits in all my vehicles! Chemlights, first aid kits, firestarting kits, space blankets, tools, jumper cables etc..
