As has been mentioned there is stay in place (bug in) or leave (bug out). Leaving could be almost imposable due to a number of factors.

I always believe that if one wants to be prepared then one needs to start at home first. And start small, learn and build. I am not an TEOTEAWKI kind of guy but I pray for the best and prepare for the worst.

If you work miles away from home then the "get me home bag" makes sense. And everyone here in CO should have a kit in there car to last them 3-4 days. Most here should have the weapons angle covered though I have noted some are a little short on ammo.

If the forum comes to pass I plan on bringing up many topics and even offering a class or two on some subjects that are near and dear to my heart.
