Hey Smokes,
Yes. Different goodies for different locales.
What is correct and savvy for Nevada is dumb for South Florida.
There is no “high place” to go to. Just more flat and wet.
My “bug out vehicle” my family vehicle. a VW Jetta Diesel TDI.
Big enough trunk for everything I need plus a bit extra. large back seat area as well.
It will have to do. Don't forget this exercise is for an emergency, not for the casting call of Jericho.

Three, five days. Maybe up to ten. Disaster planning out of your car, with pockets of gold doubloons and diamonds sewn in your socks is not real or practical. It is NOT supposed to be for EVER. If it is and I am not,...I’m screwed.
Maybe I’ll just go under my desk until the all clear.

LOL! I live in North Dakota, but work from ND to Nevada as aa geologizt. Out of laziness, I have accumulated gear to work/stay alive from +120F to -60F in the van.

It did not take much else to make it the 'bugout' vehicle as well.

Back to basics, though. Water, Shelter, food, defense, (EMS), appropriate clothing, mobility. Throw in some knowledge luck, and the will to survive, and you will make it, wherever you are.
