I’ve always been curious about the backpack kits... are they for people who live in cities or suburbia very close to cities? If your house has access to fresh water, and you are well armed and have some source for food. Why leave?

Your position may quickly become untenable if you're in a large urban/suburban area. IOW, sticking around may get you killed. I strongly urge you to make arrangements with friends / relatives who live well outside such areas and who also live in small communities. Complete isolation will work against you.

And have something to bring to the table. And by this I mean useful skills more than just stuff.

Be prepared to bail at the earliest hint of real trouble. If you hear the words 'bank holiday' in the media, GO! GO! GO! Because it's going to get really, really ugly, really really quickly.

Anticipate that you may well have to walk to get where you're going, and that you may have to fight to get there. At theend of the day, it comes down to what you feel that you life is worth. And the lives of your loved ones. Don't let them down.

THey some very good reasons not to be anywhere near a ‘city’ if it should hit the fan.

The term ‘Golden Horde’ is used.

I use ‘gust front’ to describe the leading edge of refugees..
