Be Prepared

[Paslode]

How about a critque of prep....blow some holes in it so I can tweak it.

For Bugout.

Fixed my wife up with a BOB containing first aid supplies, band aids, gauze, antibiotic ointment, burn creme, sting pads, snake bite kit, alcohol pads, eyewash, pain killers, ice pack, scissors, tweezers, peroxide, amodeum. Energy bars, compass, fishing kit, (2) trash bags, (3) Ziplocks, 10' 550 cord, tender sticks, pocket chain saw, 5 Bics, MRE Matches, Nylgene Bottle, whistle, signal mirror, 3 light sticks, four compact ponchos, 4 space blankets, (8) AA Batteries, (2)CR123 Batteries, CRKT knife, (2)micro lights and a GPS with routed rally point and destination.

I still need to get her a MIOX.

I got pretty much the same setup.

On normal week days my city traffic travels North in the morning and South at 5:00PM. I am figuring you have 30 minutes maybe 45 if during a weekday to get on the road and avoid the herd. It takes 10 to 15 minutes to reach the HWY driving the speed limit of 35.

I am generally working South during the day, my wife is North and she works nights, the school is less than a mile away. The plan is that if a senario arises that requires abandoning the city she or me (depending on the time of day), grabs the can with the 9mm, the AR and my marked ammo can, they get the kids and head to a rally point about 50 miles South of the city. When they reach the rally point they wait 5 minutes, if she or me doesn't arrive they are to continue on non-stop to the destination or drive as far as they can, ditch the vehicle and then hoof it, avoiding populated areas and possibly traveling by night and resting by day.

Haven't quite figured out what to do with the Dog. She can find game, even catch it, but she barks to warn of apporching strangers.
