0 Celeste 341 Report post Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Bathing suit, cooler, shot glass, bottle opener, cowboy hat, flip flops (well actually, those just stay on my feet all the time), music if possible, pistol. Edited March 8, 2012 by Celeste Because I come back for fun threads! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Adrian 155 Report post Posted March 8, 2012 Keep the pistol, shot glass, and bottle opener. Get rid of the rest since you keep your flip flops on your feet. Add some bug spray, anti biotics, and ammunition for that pistol, and some MRE's. Now, Beth don't tell me you and Rod don't have one. Get started on one, and quick !!!!! I'll let others chime in...

0 Scott Stone 604 Report post Posted March 8, 2012 Extra change of clothes, (sweats) toilet paper, food, water purifier, medicine and first aid kit, a couple of tarps, hand sanitizer, leatherman, wind up flash lights and wind up radio, stuff to trade. No guns or ammo. We put one together after 9/11 because of all the rumors that were happening, and we are down wind of a nuke plant. Since that time, we have just rotated the food, and from time to time fire up the flash lights and radios. Once you have it, it is simple to maintain. We have had to put larger clothes in as our kids got bigger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Beth n Rod 1,279 Report post Posted March 8, 2012 See I'm with Celeste. If' I'm packing a bag, it's for a getaway, because I'm DONE having it be the trip to the hospital bag. Did that twice. Beach bag works for me. Tomorrow I pack a Roundtable bag. Beth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Scott Stone 604 Report post Posted March 8, 2012 A better question is, if something does happen, where you have to evacuate and your family is separated, do you have a meeting spot? I am far from paranoid, but I do like being prepared. As for the hospital bag, or weekender, I don't worry about it. My wife loves me, and takes care of it for me. Of course, that is also because I am usually tying up last minute loose ends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only problem with that, Scott, is that historically the guy who bugged out with only a gun in his bag is likely to offer to trade your life for your bag. Bug out times change people.

0 Douglas Hicks 128 Report post Posted March 9, 2012 My bug-out depends on the situation. If there is an hour or two, food,water, fuel, gen set, cold weather gear go in the Sprinter. Then a trip to the shop to get the camp trailer. If weapons were loaded, the same brand and model as Scotts. if the **** really hits the fan, nothing is going to save your butte. The immediate problem is food and heat. In most homes, the heat goes off immediatly, the water within 24 hours. The average grocery store is refilled every 2 or 3 days. Withing a week, if you are still alive and in a city, sanitation and dead bodies become a real disaster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
