We believe it wise to prepare for the worst, but we don't do bug out bags..



Which is ironic because we were forced to evacuate our home about five years ago due to flooding.

After the last events, I think it's imperative to be prepared.



One thing to consider, some sort of gas tank.



Right now, gas is worth gold.

What do emergency survivalists plan to go?



Into nearby forests or in iron horse jockey's case, abroad?

If the shit hit the fan, going far abroad would be difficult.  Planes would not fly, and any kind of transit would be down.



Best to know a good place to go to locally.



Here I'm lucky...  The mountains are very close.  Could walk to them in a day.  The mountains would provide me with a bit of elevation, fresh water, and food...  berries, game such as deer, etc.

How bad would things have to get?

I live near a lot of rivers and lakes too. And plenty of forests also.



But many people would have the same ideas



If the worst happens. I'd imagine the people living up north in the Amazon or west in the pantanal mato-grossense would be better off



But where I am, definitely way better than the ones in Rio or Sao Paulo

Of course, this is imagining an imaginary situation which will most likely never happen, like when the zombies attack.   :laugh:



However, more importantly and realistic, is for when people do any kind of back country travel...  This is when having a bug out bag may come in handy.  You know, getting stranded out in the middle of nowhere.  This scenario actually does happen to people.

When my ex used to visit me, she had to travel over the Coquihalla Hwy, which can be a notoriously shitty highway depending on weather conditions, especially in the winter (Highway Thru Hell, Jamie Davis Motor Truck)...



I thought a bug-out bag would be something handy for her to keep in the trunk, just in case something happened on that shitty highway.

I live in a major city, but we are about an hour from alpine forests.

That's where you'd want to go then.  Find hiding there, to escape the zombies.

Honestly, I use to think if SHTF I would flee for a certain forestry area I know of. But, if the government were to seek out survivalists for reeducation camps or worse, they would deploy heat sensitive drones to find them. Guess I need to find a cave lol.

Zombie apocalypse cannot happen in real-life...





We now know how to kill them so they dont have enough zombies to take over the world.
