So if the SHTF in most instances you plan to bug in, you have your generator, you have your food, you have a means of defense and you are prepared for whatever may come, or are you. Today we step back a bit from the obvious and from some common thinking that isn’t very realistic to examine how prepared we are for bugging in. Please note even if you “bug out” you are going to another location and once you get there, guess what you are going to be doing, bugging in of course.
Join in today as we discuss…
- Two new eBooks free for Support Brigade Members
- Storing food for everyone possibly even some for neighbors and definitely for your pets and stock
- The need for personal hygiene products, bigger then you might think it is
- Back up power sources both short and long term
- The advantages and failings of generators
- Why you need to plan to keep the garden growing
- The need for and functionality of “security protocols” including during increased threat periods
- Why you need to quickly contact all family/close friends at the beginning of a SHTF especially if you are bugging in
- The importance of taking an inventory and sorting into needs, good to have and don’t need it at all
- How inventory and sorting will help you in barter situations
- Keeping communications up as long as possible including radio, TV, Ham, MURS, etc.
- The importance of maintaining a sense of normalcy during a bug in
- How drills are about more then finding weaknesses, they are also about acclamation
