Is resorting to a Bug Out Bag (BOB) a realistic way of life?

Looking back over time, I have had a few events occur in my life where I had to leave forever from where I was living as a last resort, literally with only what was on my back in a backpack; sometimes for months on end. If I was lucky and had some lead-time, I could sell possessions to have some cash on-hand, other times it was necessary to ‘abandon in place’ in order to leave quickly… your life is worth more than material items. I believe a true “bug-out” scenario truly is a last resort situation, which could result in an “I’m Never Coming Home” (INCH) condition, and it will be hard to abandon what possession you have, but like I said; your life is more important than ‘stuff’ and having a well prepared pack with life essentials would be advantageous.

The night that all the lights go out

In 1987, Ronald Reagan mused that if the world were about to be devastated by an alien force — perhaps a collision with a large asteroid — peoples of all nations, ideological persuasions and political parties would come together to save the planet and our civilization.

Top ten ways to blow your operational security

After a while people will naturally start to form groups and communities for their own survival and you can become part of (or the leader) that group if you have skills to offer. Skills are more important than "stuff" when trying to join an existing group after a major long-term SHTF event, because they will need your skills but they might just take your stuff...

Prepping for Death
