I was reading through that list of shhhtuff to throw in my BOB, and as I continued through the list I'm thinking this bag better have wheels. By the end of it, I'm thinking if I use my Chevy Tahoe as the bag, I may need a bigger bag.

I'm better off hunkering down right where I am. I have like-minded/well armed neighbors and feel our position will be well protected.

interesting thoughts. I've been considering the idea of a BOB not so much on the idea that if something like "Red Dawn" were to happen I would be making my way into the hills, but rather was considering it based on actual need to have a bag packed that might be useful while in the truck on a long road trip, or a camping trip, or some other event...

As I live in an apartment and I'm fairly close to Denver at this point in time, I have no personal feelings of security with either the community I live in or the security of my home...it's nowhere near secure from any real type of threat. The most I could say is, I'd like to have a way to throw something in the truck that's useful in most any situation should I need to make a quick exit.

Besides, everything I can think of that's useful for a BOB to go is also useful gear to have in general should a disaster strike and I need to hunker down in what I have, I think.

So, let's look at it from a different direction. Instead of a BOB, what's a list of items that's in your war chest for when the SHTF and you hunker down where you are? Also, what sorts of preparations would you want to make?

got that right, we already live in the hills, so bugging out means watching the road... the very few neighbors we have will either join or run...

but what I'm thinkin is:
I live where these guys want to bug out TO...

where I live the biggest concern is if the prisons somehow no longer imprison...
either the Federal complex, or the State facilities...
