I have a few Bug out bags, as you call rucksacks. They are full but each one contains different items. I have all first aid and herbal remedies in one. The others are full of misc survival stuff.

I think a 4 season tent would be best with extra tarps and tie downs.

I bought a lot of those water purification tablets plus about 10 gallons of Clorox bleach to disinfect water, even though a few drops is needed. It would be difficult to tote the bleach and food storage but I have a truck, as well to get out of Dodge if needed.

Thanks for sharing that useful information!

You feel exactly like I do. When I tell friends or family about this they do not want to hear it. They call it glood and doom. I have one friend who listens to me but I also scared the cr@@ out of him. He has now bought a milking goat and chickens. I only have the chickens.

The reason I dont want a goat is they need to be milked twice a day without fail.

It's those of us that are prepared that will have a higher survival rate not if but when SHTF.

Something is in the air. DHS, NSA and FEMA are all set to go. I still havent figured out what it is but doubt it's the flu, as they claim. An economic panic and martail law is my first idea. Others have different opinions.

That is a great point about being able to identify each other in a special way; however the problem listing it on here is there may be federal trolls readng as well. Maybe in a U2U.

It will be a difficult time to trust anyone.

Been watching your thread... great info... and thank you!

I had posted somewhere on ATS under this same topic.... if you have young children and plan on buggin' out, there are inexpensive backpacks made especially to carry a young child. My child is nearly 4 yrs., 35 pounds and growing, but still fits in it and I can carry just fine for quite a distance. I'm small framed, but in good shape, and take my child on hikes often with the pack. Granted, my husband will have to carry the regular pack, but I can still wear a waist pack for basic needs and a front conceal-carry pack for immediate defensive needs. Together, we can move our family and necessities fairly quickly.

I'm praying it doesn't get to the point that buggin' out becomes necessary... I agree that it's much better to know your own fortress and have all you need stored nearby.

What concerns me the most is extreme weather. All the preparations in the world may not be enough for most people to deal with freezing temps.

I love the idea of a symbol to recognize each other. Has anyone thought about how to communicate the symbol on a larger scale, without letting the cat outta the bag for those who should not know?

S & F for you. By the way, I also love the avatar... very eye catching.

Long term?

Learn to make alcohol. Not enough to get you drunk from drinking a daily amount, but enough to sterilize.

You can also use tea to sterilize it I believe.

Thank you!

Yes it would be nice to know we could stay in our home and remain safe. I have the idea that Obama's National Security force will be going door to door to help and aid people to Fema camps for their "protection" This would be the reason I would bug out in a hurry.

I understand Fema can truly be a help but the odd thing is they are now connected to DOD, DHS, NSA. This tells me many will be seen as anti-government terrorists. Simply for not agreeing with their rules.

The threat of Martial law is scary and supresses the Constitution while it is enacted, We would have no rights.

With executive orders they can take our food, all modes of transportation, gardens, etc.

Yes It's good to know how to gut a Squirrel. I thought if everyone shot one deer there would be none left. Cajun or seasoned Squirrel may be all we have in times of despair.

I have a few small traps and snares in one of my BOB's. Plus a wrist rocket with extra ammo.

I also bought the hard liquor to drink, as well as disinfecting. Also a few bottles of rubbing alcohol and peroxide. You'd be surprised how much a person needs to tend to a bad wound.

I dont like the idea of sticking maggots in a would to eat all the dead tissue. Sorry to be graphic. I guess as a last resort maybe.

How many of us are really prepared for Survival? sure we'll run to the hills when and if something happens, but most all of us. (Talking about us who are aware something might and is going to happen in the near future) only have the plans in our head. We sat and thought about what we'll do, maybe we even Purchased the survival books, but i think that's about it.

My plans involve money, Buying land and setting up a farm style community for no more than 10-15 people. But these ideas involve buying land and that means cash or debt. The latter you don't want and the former I don’t have.

I got $3,000 in savings, my Cosco card (For bulk Purchases) and a getaway Truck. A quick stop at the shop for long life supplies and camping gear.

This is an old thread perhaps nobody will read it but: My #1 survival tip:

#1)Ever see video "footage" of panicked people mobbing a store after an emergency scrambling for every last battery and hoarding bottled water amidst a raging mob?

***Don't be those people... it's dangerous;stupid and unnecessary.***

YOU ALREADY KNOW "Something"(?) ( longterm power outage/ winter storm/flu epidemic/ Japanese radiation fallout/zombie hordes) will happen in your lifetime.
"How? I can't afford two cans of beans now is not an excuse.! Better to put some canned goods away now than "wait" for he planned ultimate underground yuppie survivalist bunker with the SOLAR 12v expresso machine that may never appear.
