Who else has a 'bug out bag' or 'bug out vehicle'?

[inline 6]

I have a bug out bag that I keep loaded. It holds my ar, shotgun, 2 pistols, 9 mags for the pistols, and 6, 30rnd mags for the ar. There are a few pockes that I keep 100 rounds of shotgun in. I keep our very important documents in it as well. I have an old ammo crate in the garage that used to hold 2, 105mm rounds. I sectioned it off and it holds 1500 rounds of .223, 500 rounds of 00 buck shotgun, 300 rounds of 9mm and 400 rounds or .45. All this is addition to the mags that are in the bug out bag which are all loaded not including the mags I keep loaded in the ar, both pistols, and the shotgun. I have a rack that goes on the back of the jeep that holds 2, 5gal gas cans that I rotate out and pour into the jeep (and the lawn equipment) every other month. If it ever hit the fan I would stay put as long as possible unless the action was just too close. And only when absolutly necessary would I leave and then I dont have a clue. Probably going to squat from place to place trying to stay out of sight.

So if you disconnect the battery on a car, and it isn't running when the EMP hits, would it still be bad?

That won't work either. I just build Farady cages for shit I'll keep after an EMP.

Sorry I got to this thread a little late, but I have both a bag and vehicle... or so that's the rumor.

Following along FATHERFORD's EMP scenario, that extra 200 gal of fuel will get you nowhere. Any vehicle with any electronic control will be dead.
So if you're serious about a bugout vehicle, you need to switch to a carb and points style distributor.

It is possible to build a faraday cage and store additional electrical equipment to install on your vehicle pending an EMP event. Of course, that is if there is only one EMP event.

Best to have an old M35 2-1/2 ton truck. Runs pretty much on anything so fuel shouldn't be that hard to find. Diesel fuel, jet fuel, kerosene, heating oil or gas.

I don't need no plan. I live back in the woods, its just the woman and the kids and the dogs and me. I've got a shotgun, rifle, and a four wheel drive.

.......and a country boy can survive.

i keep lots of automatic weapons to take shit from queers like you...........

Ok, I laughed out loud on this one!

You mean from my Dallas place of residence to the airplane hanger? I guess I would walk. It would be maybe 1-2 hours by foot.

There is one road into my hold up spot, and it is many miles long with nothing but trees on each side. The peninsula is about an 8th of a mile wide for quite a ways and easily fortified.

Haven't thought too much about this, but this plan has always been in the back of my head.

This got me thinking, how long would our reservoirs last with no supervision? I mean don't people have to regulate water levels, repair the dam etc.? Seems to me they would last a few years/decades then return to their natural state.

I know not what you speak of....

[Forever_frost]

I have a few BOV's and quite a few BOB's. What the situation calls for depends on the one I have.

I expect when the shit hits the fan we will all be loaded into cattle cars as a field expedient extraction and taken to a government facility where they will care for us and keep us safe. I welcome the train ride because I have great faith in our leaders You should too!

Interesting.

My answer to the op---yep

Don't forget the free showers. You get awfully dirty on the train ride, ya know.

As for me, I'll retire to my secret lair inside of a hollowed out volcano.
