If something can go wrong
It will and if you dont have redundancy built into your survival plan, you my friend are S.O.L This really hit home with me recently. You see, I just finished reading really good book and it left me speechless. Once I got into it I absolutely couldnt put it down
It exposed just how vulnerable we really are
The book was a piece of fiction dealing with a somewhat implausible threat, but it hit me right between the eyes over one simple truth. The guy was away from home and separated from his family when things went south
The story had a happy ending, but for only ONE reason
He HAD a well stocked Stow Bag actually a Get Back Home Bag, and if he hadnt had the forethought to pack and maintain that bag, well, I guess it would have been a VERY short book
Most of us familiar with the concept of preparedness already HAVE a bug out bag at home for that that Just In Case moment we hope never happens. What really got my attention in the book was the well planned and packed kit he had in his car. The hero of the story was hundreds of miles from home when the massive EMP attack, leaving EVERY piece of technology crippled and worthless. And he NEVER would have made it home without this kit
That situation really set me to thinking about just how many ways things could get bad enough that Id need to get out of Dodge in a hurry. Its not just an EMP attack, it could be any number of disasters, both natural and man made. The more I thought about it, the more I realized just how close to the edge we really are
After all, the 3 most likely scenarios that are likely to turn your neighbors into fearsome animals have already happened! Catastrophic Weather Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Floods, Earthquakes, Tsunamis- Lets not even bring up Katrina, 1 hurricane that left over 800,000 people scrambling for food and water for 3 days without any help from the government. Imagine being trapped along with 800,000 other panicking people
Now imagine if you could have just bugged out 2 days before disaster hit. Which would you rather put your family through a quick escape before the storm hits. Or spending weeks as a member of Club FEMA
Waiting in mile long lines for scraps of food and bottled water with your children in tow. This is a tinderbox of desperate people just waiting to explode
and youre right in the middle of it. But its not just weather you have to worry about
Every day we run the risk of
Not-So-Natural Disasters Not quite as likely as catastrophic weather, the fact is that a hostile attack planned and implemented by enemies of the US has happened already, and can happen again. Of course, we dont need terrorists for things to go wrong. Remember Swine Flu? 3 Mile Island? Out of control forest fires? LA Riots? Even if you trust the government to keep things running smoothly (which strikes me as a losing bet), you still have to believe some pretty big fantasies. Fantasies such as: A new virus or bacteria is never going to spread to our shores and cause massive panic That the Boston Bombing was the last terrorist attack the US will ever face That if the government cuts food stamps or other assistance programs, all those people are just going to quietly let their families starve An existing Virus cant or wont make a vicious comeback Think about it
There are literally HUNDREDS of scenarios where youd have to ask yourself do I really want to be locked inside a fortified house in the middle of a sea of angry, hungry, distressed or diseased people, all of whom are willing to take drastic and desperate to get what youve worked so hard for? But even that isnt what you should be really worried about
The scenario that I am most concerned with is complete and total
Infrastructure Failure This is far more likely than either of the other two. Im not talking about a black or brown outs
Im talking: Lights out PERMANENTLY
No power for the pumps that deliver running water
No heat or AC for DAYS, WEEKS, Months ( If The grid ever comes back online at all!)
Total, Complete, Crippling , Catastrophic , And Permanent FAILURE If you dont think this is likely, then you must not know the simple fact that a single tree branch took out the power for over 100 power plants, leaving MILLIONS of people without power. How Is That Possible? Its quite simple, really
Since 2012 our power grid has received a D+ rating. Heck, if just 9 substations were to stop working (either because of incompetence or a coordinated attack), the ENTIRE power grid will go down for at least a YEAR AND A HALF! When I had the startling realization about just how easy it was for civilization to slip into chaos and how fast we could be tossed back into the dark ages, I knew at that VERY moment that I NEEDED to put something together that was well conceived, well supplied and ultra affordable for the average person. It needed to be lightweight, stocked to the gills with EVERYTHING that matters and 100% devoid of frivolous crap. Thats why Ive been working with some of the top manufacturers to bring you something like youve never seen before. This is a complete kit that is perfect for whether you need to shelter in place or hit the ground running! Introducing the all new Survival Life STOW Bag 2.0. everything you need to survive for 72 hours no matter what sort of disaster strikes. You should already have a bag like this in your home, but much larger. Your standard bug-out bag should be equipped to help you and your family survive for as long as the lunatics are still running the asylum. Theres only one problem
How often are you ACTUALLY home? Most of your day is likely spent working, running errands, traveling, visiting friends and family most folks spend weekends, nights, and early mornings at home and thats it. This means that if something bad happens, not only will it be pretty sudden, it also means that your bug-out bag will be completely USELESS
unless you manage to get to it. Look, no one is hoping for a disaster, natural or otherwise, but you gotta understand what I am saying. Its SOOO much better to be prepared for a disaster that may not come than unprepared for even a mild calamity!
