“:I’m using the old ping list so if anybody wants off it just let me know.”

If you would put me on the ping list that is ok.

For a few days now I have been looking at the “Bug out Bag” stuff online. Some are ok some are stupid what to put in that bag are interesting it is a personal choice.

My family have bug-out bags, but I don’t know what’s in them (it’s my daughter, SIL and grands). They didn’t make one for me lol so I’m thinking I’m not bugging out any time soon.

I think that for almost everyone, the home BOB is about going to a shelter or a friend’s home, so it should have all the things based on that, the one in the car should be based on living in the car for X days and/or hiking out under worse winter or summer conditions and for the longest distance to your home or occupied houses.

A lot of guys seem to base their BOB on moving to the woods and living off the land which makes zero sense.

yes, there are a lot of options. if I put everything I think I need together, I’ll need more than one bag!

please post what you decide to pack,I’m sure it’ll be helpful to many. Me included - I thought I had a place I could stay in,until I saw Maui. I’ll be leaving if they catch the forest on fire.

When I had a BoB, I sealed everything in foodsaver bags which makes things fairly waterproof.

A roll of TP sealed in foodsaver bag squishes down to about an inch thick. Good to have in a vehicle.

I wrapped utensils in a kitchen towel and sealed that as well which prevents rattling noise.

I moved to a very rural area and bought a few acres. I have no plan to bug out to any other location on the planet.

A small Bible wrapped in a towel that has an angel blowing a trumpet was another thing I foodsaver sealed.
