The 72-hour Kit: Gotta Rosary for the run?
By Ben Fisher - Jesus Be With Us Published February 13th, 2009
In the event of an emergency, do you have a 72-hour or Bug-out Kit? Gotta Rosary for the run?
A 72-hour kit is a bag, bucket, or box of everything you will need (food, water, medicine, …) to survive 72-hours as you flee a natural disaster, terrorist event, or civil unrest.
The idea is that you should be able to get where you’re evacuating to within three-days, or that civil authorities (police, national guard, etc.) will have brought the unrest under control.

Yep. Got one. Up here we call them “Blizzard Kits” or “Tornado Kits.”
Is 72 hours enough time to get out of Dodge when the Obama Corps comes calling?
No.
Shoot, a feller could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff!
I’m not a survivalist, but I am prepared to hold out for an extended time, which would include taking in my 4 kids and my 8 grandkids.
I do not intend to run.
But the idea of preparing for “field operation” might have some merit. I have lots of camping gear, but it is not organized. And commo gear.
We live in the “Big Nothing” in Texas, and the river breaks would be a natural for hiding and living off the land. Very possible.
But I cannot see that happening in Texas, no matter how insane the edicts from DC.
Survival plan? We have, and it’s a hell of a lot safer than your 401k or your flood insurance policy provider or your credit card issuer.
The only thing we don’t have at 668 is an able-bodied male. Fortunately we live nearly surrounded by badass war veterans — WW2, Korea, Viet Nam, and Gulf. They would go down hard...but when the need arises we should be able to trap a few of them. ;)
No. one item in a bugout kit should be some method of personal defense, else someone else who covets your bugout kit may just take it.
How many of the military do you think would actually fire on our own citizens?
I agree with you. My family and I were talking yesterday about some of this. Our concern is with Mexico imploding (and many more Mexicans coming here) and the recession or if it gets to a depression, fewer jobs, etc. people are going to be desperate and hungry and willing to do whatever to get what they need.
I found out this week about the number of gangs we have here (18 different ones) and those that are very dangerous gangs.
I will have no problem with defending myself or what I have. However, we are in town so living off the land could be a issue.
No bug out bag for us, we’re right where we want to be.
“Is 72 hours enough time to get out of Dodge when the Obama Corps comes calling?”
No!
THAT is why you need to be prepared to STAND AND FIGHT!
(different “kit”)

***None. But didn’t Hussein want to create some kind of “civilian” force? They’re the ones even our military should fear.
Absolutely.
Remember it took 130,000 troops to suppress Iraq, a country the size of Texas ans with the population of Kalifornia.
Considering how America-hating some ‘rats are, I’m sure some of them have joined for the chance to shoot up some Reds(staters).
