Don’t Expose Yourself, Please!
By Brock Hileman Hileman
What are you going to do? The storm has turned and it’s heading straight for you, there is no choice, you must bug out. So it can’t happen here you say? Don’t be so sure, storms come in many forms. On the coasts hurricanes are the most devastating, farther inland the threat of tornados and floods prevail, and nowhere is exempt from a wildfire, earthquake or terror attack. How will you and your family make it through the days until help arrives? Will you be prepared to perform first aid? Can you keep hypothermia at bay? You’ve heard the tragic stories about people who survived a catastrophe only to perish later from exposure. Don’t allow that to happen to you. If you are forced to bug out here's what to take: a tent, a battery less flashlight and radio, a lighter, any essential medicines, snacks, water, water filter, baby food, diapers, blankets or sleeping bags, cot and pillows, identification, photocopies of valuable papers, playing cards, games, books, eyeglasses, hearing aids, dentures, special-diet foods, toiletries and of coarse a first-aid kit. These items can fit into a good backpack which will allow them to travel with you even if you’re on foot. Having these items pre packed in a bug out bag will help ensure you will have everything you need when you need it in a hurry. Be ready to set up a home away from home on the floor. Hundreds of other people may be in the same predicament, so be prepared to live with strangers at close quarters for an indefinite period of time. Remember to secure your home and shut off the water, gas and electricity before you leave. The best plan is to have a plan. Keep a bug out bag packed and ready to throw in the trunk or on your back. Pre-plan an escape route and prepare for the unexpected. Don’t expose yourself please, have a plan and the resources to keep your family dry, warm and safe. Visit my website for more details. |

Great intel, Brock.
I've never heard the term, "bug out bag", but it sure makes sense.
Keep up the good work.
Frederick
I thought it must be an American term until I read that Frederick hasn`t heard of "bug out" either, but I think you`re advice is very sound. Here in the UK we`re having our worst winter for decades and we keep being told to be prepared if venturing outdoors.

And if the storm passes, you can use the 'bug out bag' for camping! Fun!
