i have always had the idea of putting together a "bug out bag" and now with all these "prepper" shows on tv, my fiance and i are starting to get serious about putting together the essentials for ourselves and our dogs. stupid? maybe. but i always like to be prepared for every situation i put my self in and this would be no different.
i dont think the magnetic poles will switch, or the super volcano in Yellowstone will go off or getting nuclear fallout from Fukushima or any other crazy stuff like that. the only realistic thing that i could think of, would be some sort of terroristic threat.

does anyone else keep one ready? and if so, whats in your gettup?

steve, the magnetic poles WILL switch again. it only happens every half million years or so, and takes quite a long time to for the switch to occur - we're talking upwards of decades

Beer is in mine. And Slim Jims. And Moon Pies

chuck testa.

 

[gonefirefightin]

mine is actually 3 water proof foot lockers. just enough to get me to my storage unit.

jon, sorry i left out all the pertinent info. what i obviously neglected to say, was that it wont happen in my lifetime. it also last happened 750k years ago and generally takes 1000-10000 years, if you want to get all technical.

this kind of information is important if you are the highlander.

Everyone's moving into your basement hippie.

A pop up camper deep in the woods on private land in the middle of nowhere. Me and my two best friends have planned to bug out our families there. We still need to stock food, fuel and ammo though so hopefully TEOTWAWKI will hold off for a while.

wherever the peyote may lead us

Traffic Jams. When the **** hits the fan you better already be where you want to be when the poo starts to splatter.

 

[DaveW]

And that Westy is why you need to own a motorbike...... your riding a bit slower but "What traffic jam??"

Don't talk to me, I live on a boat. I have a bug-out-home. Fresh water could be a problem when it is dry. Crab traps and fishing poles can keep me fed for quite a while.

 

[DirtMcGirk]

Mine is a pelican case and a 60lb pack and an ammo carrier. Really don't want to do the walk of pain in it, but its just like boot camp all over again.

Like boot camp but you are fat, old and pathetic.

 

[DirtMcGirk]

I walked with the pack the other day up Squaw peak. It sucked, I took a week to do it, but I got it done and back to the truck. I didn't think throwing the rifle on and walking in public was a good idea.

I can still do it, I can still hack it, but I just do it in slow motion.

Yeah, it's been beat to death before.

 

[I Are Baboon]

If a time comes when one is needed, I think I'd rather die in the preceeding apocalypse.

 

[Straya]

I don't yet but I plan on getting something together. Not so much as I believe that Obama is going to personally kick my door in one day and come and take my guns and make me marry a man but for the fact that I live in a bushfire prone area and we are overdue for some smoke. will be simple clothing, radio, torch and some form of electronic backups of documents rather than a shipping container full of ammo though.

No need to plan. Primal instincts will kick in and people will just kill you for all of your fancy survival sh!t Just be one of those guys- stealing, killing with pieces of rebar, you know, hardcore and stuff.

I'm sure that'll work out well.

 

[Da Peach]

Geez. Engaged AND planning for the Apocolypse together! Must be serious.

Backpacking supplies. Water filter. Guns and ammo. I want a bow and arrow... easier to make arrows than ammo... our subaru and we have a destination. Personally, I would like this day to hurry up. Sounds like an extended camping trip to me. Sounds like no more desk job. Just working the land, hunting our food, and working to stay alive.

...in fact... who needs to wait for an apocolypse? Why not just go off the grid and move into an earthship?

[offsprung]

My backpacking gear, the only piece that isn't currently in it is my .357 mag

 

[jonKranked]

I would opt for Dr Henry Killinger's Magic Murder Bag

 

[4130biker]

You mean the suicide kit?

i cut up enough pallets as a kid for kindling to build a mcmansion or two....

My bugout bag contains my motorcycle keys and my hospital ID. Why spend one's own money on sad little shelters when there's a well constructed building with its own food and backup power supplies that I could just walk into?

because when hoardes of people go looking for meds and supplies, your fancy hospital will be on their hit list

i just keister a bottle of absinthe and a granola bar.

Anything involving keistering anything is just good advice.

who else will be hiding a wristwatch, in their ass?

 

[Westy]

Watched a few episodes of that prepper show last night. There seemed to be a common theme between most of the featured guests, they were ****ing morons. I like how most of them were preparing for the next great depression by hoarding guns, you because the last great depression was plagued with roaming hoards of zombies and drawn out firefights.
