Disaster pack
 
With all the weird weather going on, I've decided to be prepared. It's more time consuming than I thought. Maybe my mind is not organized enough to what I think I need. Dunno. I may over pack it. So, are any of you guys prepared if a natural disaster hits?

Surely a daily prayer is all the preparation necessary?

I have several plans in place depending on the situation.

I have a Bug Out Bag containing a few changes of clothes, a checkbook, basic first aid kit, rations for three days, a weeks worth of my medicine, a weeks worth of my wife's meds too, except for the insulin that remains in the fridge. And a couple of other things.

I also have a disaster plan, which includes my camper, which is stocked and ready to go within fifteen minutes. It contains a month's worth of supplies (food, medicine, fresh water, cash and weapons). I try to keep my LP tanks full and my truck at least 3/4 full at all times. Just in case a fire threatens or something like that.

Over in Allah land they say to trust God but tie up your camel.

Who's gonna take checks in an emergency?

ZenGum 06-30-2011 08:29 PM

and what are you gonna do with a tied-up camel?


Just remember the toilet paper, people, everyone forgets the toilet paper.

And your girlie things if you need them.

If you should ever have to evacuate from a disaster area in a hot air balloon, don't pickup any girls with little dogs ... they're trouble.

I'm thinking something small, like the house catching fire. Some emergency where I need to get out right now but only for a short time. It's grab and go supplies. Also, I'm too broke to be able to afford a cash stash. And my checkbook contains an ATM card.

For bigger emergencies, such as an evacuation ahead of natural disaster, I go hook onto the camper and head for my alternative site in the Ozarks. For that, I need up to 30 minutes warning.

For the end of the world, even cash won't matter. In that case, I grab more ammo and head to my secret lair.

If I told, it wouldn't be a secret!

ZenGum 07-01-2011 08:16 PM

and if he told you, then he'd have to ... replenish his ammo.

I used to have a pretty well-stocked bug-out bag. I sold the trauma kit for $250.
