    Have always had a bag, never knew when I'd be stuck somewhere for a few days with nothing but that bag, but in our vehicles we have a get home bag, there are very simple, protein bars, water, first aid, fire, knife, multi tool, blankets or sleeping bag, depending n time of year, extra clothes, flashlights, and emergency radio. And of course, weapon and ammo. And my favorite, 100' of paracord. At the house the more serious bug up bags are always ready, and lots of cases of water in our pantry along with enough food in cans and dry containers to last a month. And f the natural gas doesn't get wiped out our whole house generator will keep the food cold, and we do know what that's like, cause a few years back we were without power for 12 days, life at casa Tc went on as normal with the AC running just fine. Plus a few neighbors freezers in the garage. I,m not a prep per or survivalist, but being prepared is just smart insurance.

    But if you really get down to it, all you need is a knife and a cool head,, most people don't die from lack food and water they die from lack of knowledge. Tc

    I think this pretty much covers it. Especially the cool head part. If you get all wrapped up and emotional, chances are you might not make it. Knowledge is a very powerful thing in the right hands...
