I'm always adapting it to new situations and ideas as they present themselves. But I am greatly encouraged by the number of people who have adopted this mindset. We will be the ones who do not succumb to hysteria and poor planning.Pam Kohlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678673505358164380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-72374303973929288632012-07-03T13:49:12.544-05:002012-07-03T13:49:12.544-05:00I loved that book!

And those personality traits have served me well. It's good to know how you think through different emergency scenarios and how to build on your assets.Pam Kohlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678673505358164380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-16469667789777106612012-07-03T13:45:03.027-05:002012-07-03T13:45:03.027-05:00The one thing I would caution you to think about i...The one thing I would caution you to think about is this: if there is an EMP event, your neighbor's cars or trucks will not run. I always try to think through a scenario where I will have to walk, and possibly for long distances. So you must have a bag that carries as many essentials as possible, but light enough that you can carry it. Lots to think about!Pam Kohlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678673505358164380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-13996647226300393652012-07-03T12:38:27.497-05:002012-07-03T12:38:27.497-05:00My family has been "bugged out" for over...My family has been "bugged out" for over a year. We live away from populated areas and have taken up gardening, raising farm animals, and have an off the grid water source. We all have bags and understand their importance during travel. But there is another potential use as well: What if we have to bug out from our bug out location? What if our homestead gets burned or washed/blown away? What if thugs run us off? We may be left with only with what we can carry (if we are lucky). So, with that in mind, the contents of such bag may change somewhat since we would have to essentially live without the food, shelter, and water that we have worked so hard to secure at home. Just a thought..

It presents different emergency scenarios and gives you good, common sense ideas of how to respond. Included in the book is also a quiz you take online to give you and idea of the type of survivor you are!<br /><br />Great blog!!!!Deannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03812179297803083012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-44290624148681984342012-07-02T19:19:30.337-05:002012-07-02T19:19:30.337-05:00I agree good post.

Last winter he did get stranded because of road closures due to snow. He had to sleep in the truck all night till they finally opened the road. <br /><br />The nearest grocery store is 50 miles away. I haven't thought about how I'm going to get home if something happens. I know I could call a couple of neighbors to help me if I have car trouble. I think I better start working on a plan.<br /><br />Piute PatriotAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-90032584622310032332012-07-02T08:17:57.984-05:002012-07-02T08:17:57.984-05:00It's never a mistake to be thinking how to opt...It's never a mistake to be thinking how to optimize your safety in any given situation, right?Pam Kohlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678673505358164380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-711943988867398642012-07-02T07:26:16.295-05:002012-07-02T07:26:16.295-05:00good post and some extra planning will make all th...good post and some extra planning will make all the difference!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
