I also hear the O.C. is under a typhoid scare?


It's actually a case of Typhus, not Typhoid in California. Murine Typhus is easily treated with antibiotics. It is transmitted by fleas carried by rats, raccoon, skunks and sometimes feral cats. It can be deadly if not treated, however death from murine typhus is unlikely. Typhus cannot be spread person to person, a human must be bitten by an infected flea.
 
That's a great start! Keep it going, do you know where you're bugging out to? Consider walking to the nearest high-school, which are often used as shelters during natural disaster. When bugging out, are you carrying the supplies to keep your k-9 alive as well?

i am carying the supplies for my dog as of right now, im going to get him to get used to carrying his own items. i need to get a dog bag or my wife can make one for him. he is a blue heeler, which are supposed to be smart dogs. but he is still a pup.
 
Blue Heelers are great animals. I raised a few in the past from great bloodlines. They are very intelligent and powerful, remember they are bred to be silent dogs so they can sneak up on cattle to herd them, so there use as an early warning animal is limited. Beware if you teach them to "speak" as they tend to not shut up after! They are however the perfect size for dog, not so small and not to big.
 
-Clyde- We had the same thing happen here on Fort Sill last year! Some ding dong ripped up a gas line in the housing development and they had to evac everyone. I didn't bug out but my buddy did. Said it was terrible how they (Civilian MP's) were just ripping people out there homes without anything. He keeps a bag in his car, so he was ready to go and so was his family. I'm guessing the car is the place to keep your gear during an Evac...

Clyde, what kind of deficiencies did you find? We may benefit from it, as we may have the same areas of improvement. Goes to show too, that no matter where we are, we may have to leave at a moment's notice.
I always keep some cash in the truck for a motel room (as I suck at driving long distance, so some times, we gotta just pull over). Of course, we have bank cards too, but you never know what could happen.

This incident got me to be more serious about having a get home bag.
It also got me to make sure my B.O.B. was more centrally located, and easily accessible.
 
If it's ever real again Clyde I have a guest house and we're only an hour away.
 
Many great ideas here. We have "no electricity days" here at my home at least once a month, to teach and show the younger ones how to go day and night, with no power. Helps them understand cooking ideas, heating, lighting dim areas, etc. We also have "It's TIME" drills to load up the vehicle needed (Diesel Pusher or Pontoon) with everything necessary for bugging out. Also, yelling "INTRUDER" at any point of the day will get several weapons pulled and ready within 2 minutes of said command, to defend our property and self's.
 
I personally had a bug out practice (forced) they evacuated the area where I work beocuse a package (later found to be a bail of marijuana) was strapped to a train full of chemicals and they thought at first it was a bomb.
 
reading all this earlier this morning got me to thinking about everything that id have to grab n go with if we had to get out fast as possible.just looking around here in my room,to thinking of whats in the other rooms of the house.i will definitely be leaving stuff behind whats needed if i had to get out due to bad rain storms to whatever.the items that i find important for a bug out,is scattered throughout the house.that includes my b.o.b eton radio flashlights first aid stuff under bathroom sink and other items
 
I did a mock bug Friday with my family. Like you I found some areas we were lacking in. Good news is got most of the problems taking care of yesterday. All in all everything else went fine.

Hello all!

Well today I got the chance to practice a real bug out.

My neighborhood was evacuated this afternoon due to some dumb ### using a back hoe striking a gas main on one of our main streets. There was about 400 homes evacuated.

the nice thing about this evacuation is it showed me what areas I am lacking in being ready for, and regretfully it is more than I thought or care to admit. At least now I know what I need to do.

The one area i do well at was time management. I was able to get the family loaded up and heading out in less than an hour. Mind you I didn't need to travel too far.

It is a good idea, at the very least, to run different scenarios through your mind.

Glad to hear it went pretty well.
The kids were busily updating their B.O.B.'s. The primary was changing shoes out, and other clothing that is outgrown.

did you feel ready???? or was it overwhelming
 
I'm slightly confused as to what bugging out is? maybe i missed the post where it describes it.
Also the evacuation sounds like good practice, down in san diego i dont get much practice at leaving my neighborhood in a scare.
However I do practice clearing each room of my house at night for intruders, just in case.
 
Bugging out basically is being prepared to flee your place of safety, whatever that is at the time..
 
yeah.like roni says. bugging out is when it's no longer safe to stay where your living.in which that'd be your bug in location=bil. and of course your bug out location,=bol be where you go to,to be safe from any possible threats,.
 
Ohh okay. Well right now my home is safe. I do daily patrols of my home and am always on watch of my area. Also I do drills in my house when noones home, I have my gun and my flashlight and (with no rounds in the gun) will practice going room to room clearing it checking different ways to approach my home and area. Anybody else do that?
