Have a No Go Point
-
Have your "E-Pac" ready - Emergency Preparedness Action Pack. Do it "right" now!
-
It takes discipline to "bugout." Your home is one of the most important assets in your life. You are leaving it behind for marauders. Bloom where you are planted. Your home should be an in home convenience store. You should be able to camp within the walls of your home.
-
Put your home in a smart location. Think about water, size of town, defensibility, distance to fire station and emergency services.
-
Predetermine what your limits are that would make you leave. What are your parameters to stay? Where are you going to go?
-
Keep your head together and be rational about the threat.
Your E-Pac:
-
The stuff you pack should be the stuff you use. If you don't use it now don't pack it for then. You will want comfort foods to calm you under high stress conditions.
-
Don't take other people's words for your salvation get out there and test out the stuff yourself. What do you need?
-
Where you are going will also make a big difference in what you pack.
-
If you have a medical condition you must prepare for it!
-
Production doesn't mean you have to grow it. Go buy it or pick it. Buy canned or packaged products now and keep them sealed.
-
Remember to pack toilet paper.
-
What is critical for your family? It will be different for everyone!
Food or Tools?What is more important to you?
-
Can you use the tool?
-
Don't buy secondary items until you have all the primary ones purchased!
-
What skills do you have to help with the restoration? You may want those.
-
Internal Frame Pack vs. External Frame Pack:
-
Either way, something is better than nothing.
-
Where are you going?
-
How long will you be there?
-
How large is your body and what can you carry?
-
How much water can you carry? Learn to filter it yourself!
-
You don't need the latest and greatest, it just needs to be serviceable.
