I have been meaning to comment here for a week now.
Ok, Car prep ideas. Well after assessing the situation when I am not at my BOL I determined that the best thing to do was to put my BOB in my truck. That way I kill (2) birds with one stone... Besides the reality of my situation is that I am either in my truck or near it when not at my BOL.
So here we go BOV something that has a good range, able to jump curbs and can do some off road stuff without looking out of place.
Here is what I am using:
Next, is storage, this vehicle I can throw in a bunch of stuff at any point as well as my puppies and wife, notice tarp is folded it will cover the entire truck if necessary.
Since this vehicle came with a joke for a spare I removed it and put my BOB there + some other stuff, it is a full blown 72hr kit ++ since I live in an area where there is cold weather I have all kinds of stuff, contents include:
- Food for 3days (for 2 adults and 2 dogs)
- Water & water filter (for 2 adults and 2 dogs)
- Lighters/matches/flint & steel
- Flashlights, Many
- Gas masks (for 2 adults)
- Sleeping bags and blankets (for 2 adults)
- 150' of rope
- Multi fuel stove
- Cold weather Gear (for 2 adults)
- Rifle with ammo
- Knives, Axe & Saw
- First Aid kit
- and much much more...
I re-pack every 6 months to update check batteries and so forth.
I have had to use my Car prep before This was a process, I had to learn the hard way what to pack. so I am confident that I have enough to get to my BOL and worst case scenario I can throw on the pack and move.
