Bug Out Bunker prepper prepping supplies supply checklist hi it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper did
you ever see any of the videos or tv shows about prepping emergency bunkers and where people have
their bug out bunkers and think survival bunkers that's only for really rich people wouldn't that
be nice to have something like that but bug out bunker doesn't have to be just for rich
people if you use your imagination and look at the resources that you have you may find that
you can have a bug out bunker also why might you want a survival bunker well think about an
emergency situations lots of people have emergency supplies in their home and they think they would
never leave their home everything is there they're comfortable but there are many reasons why you may
have to leave your home and that's why you need a secondary location for example my son's house
burned down he had no choice but to leave his home and abandon all of his supplies perhaps you
live in an area where there are hurricanes and you have to evacuate from your home what if a tornado
strikes your neighborhood and your home is no longer suitable to live in then you need to have
someplace else that you could go so there are all kinds of reasons some of them temporary and some
of them may even be permanent but we need to be aware of the risks where we live what could happen
that could cause you to leave your home and that's why you would want a bug out bunker or a secondary
location or something that you can have your supply of emergency items that you could use if
you needed to think about it what if an earthquake started shaking your house right this minute
that's what happens if you live in earthquake country and your home can be damaged where it's
no longer safe to stay in and just like that you need to leave your home so start thinking about
the risks where you live and then think about the possibilities of what you could use as a bug out
bunker maybe you have a shed in your backyard i have an old shed that i turn into what i call my
Granny Camp on some private property that i own in Alaska and it is my Alaska remote off-grid cabin
i love to go out to my Granny Camp i spend a lot of time out there but it actually could be a bug
out location because it has the necessities of things that you need it doesn't have any
running water it doesn't have any electricity it doesn't have any of the niceties that we have in
our comfortable homes but it still can provide all of the areas of the survival that you would need
maybe you have a travel trailer or an RV camper i recently bought one to keep in the Lower 48
then when I'm visiting my family members i have a place to stay i can take my grandchildren in
it and i can travel around but then i also have a Bug Out bunker because you can stockpile your
trailer or RV camper just like you could a bug out bunker because it's separated from your home
and in an emergency you could go there so think about the options you have for recreation
for places that you like to go and things that you have available to you it doesn't have to be
just for an emergency maybe you have a shed in your yard you could store some belongings maybe
you have a trailer that sits in your yard maybe you even have a storage trailer that you use to
haul things could you put some supplies in there and the more that you have the better it's going
to suit you should you need to use those supplies what are some bug out bunker basics for preppers
here's an emergency prepping list these are some prepping supplies that you would want whether
they're in your home or they're in your bug out bunker everybody needs fresh drinking water you
need to have some place that you can store extra drinking water no matter the emergency
every single emergency every single day people need fresh drinking water so it's vital that you
begin your preps with fresh drinking water next you should have some sort of water purification
system there are all different kinds all different price points you can get a Life
Straw which allows you to drink water right out of a stream scoop water up in a cup and suck it out
and drink it up through your Life Straw you can find emergency bottles that have built-in filters
water filter purification that i found is the Mini well water purification filter system that not
only can you screw Miniwell filter onto a bottle you can pour the water from the bottle into a cup
and filter it that way with Miniwell you can also fill up a bucket Miniwell comes with an attachment
that allows you to filter water from the bucket into another container there are all kinds of
different ways to have water filters and purification ways to use miniwell you need
to make sure you have some of those in your prepping supplies as well
the next Bug Out bunker basic is food think about emergency food that you could leave in a secondary
location if your location could freeze you don't want canned goods because they could be ruined if
you have critters then you need to make sure that you store the food into an airtight hard container
so that the critters can't get in it and the first things you should do just like your emergency bug
out bag and your prepper pantry is have some just open and eat foods that are already ready to eat
you don't have to heat them up but you could heat them up to make them taste better but it isn't
necessary you need to have several days worth of food that you could just tear open and eat
then you need some simple just add water maybe a little bit of cooking or two packages of things
you could stir together to make something to eat the bare necessities of the easiest types of foods
are what would be good for your bug out bunker basics if you can store canned goods that's good
you can open those foods make sure you include a can opener then you want to have some basic way
that you can heat up food and boil water if you need to to purify some so get some sort of a basic
emergency stove even if you just get a butane stove they're very inexpensive they're simple to
use the fuel is generally readily available but you need to make sure that you stockpile extra
of those kind of canisters if you have an RV then it probably has a propane stove so you made sure
that you have propane so that you can use the facilities in your bug out bunker RV or trailer
whatever your location is is going to determine the types of supplies that you want to include
in your emergency bunker everybody needs some way to start fires in an emergency and no you're not
going to start a fire if you're in an apartment building but even if you're just outside you can
gather up some sticks and make a little fire if you need to so you want to make sure that you
have a way to start the fire you need to have some lighters you need to have some matches you
need some fire starters and then practice that go to the park in the picnic area where they
have the little barbecue grills practice making little fires go to a campground and build some
in a fire pit it's a kind of skill that you need to practice so that you're comfortable
with it so that you know you can handle that if you need to next you need some kind of lights
look for things like headlamps and flashlights but also look at lanterns you can find solar lanterns
you can find battery operated lanterns you can even get a whole variety of different kinds of
little lights at the dollar tree and pick up a few extra batteries it doesn't have to be expensive
so if you have nothing get something and then upgrade prepping supplies as you can but always
make sure that you have something emergency supplies have a few candles have a way to light
the candles and make sure that you have a safe container to burn candles in because the last
thing you want to do is set your emergency bug out bunker on fire you want to be extra careful
anytime you're using something with an open flame you would want to include a carbon monoxide
detector if you're burning any kind of fuel so that you have that with you with your emergency
supplies so that you're aware if the carbon monoxide is filling the space where you are
you can't smell it you can't see it you can't sense it it's silent and it's very deadly so you
want to make sure that you have a carbon monoxide detector anytime you're using anything for cooking
or lighting that includes an open flame a fire extinguisher is also a great item to have with
your bunker basics next think about ways to stay warm and what if it's summer ways to stay cool
maybe you want to have a portable heater there's different kinds of portable heaters that are
safe to use in small areas you can also have an extra stack of blankets a few extra sleeping bags
and even when it gets hot perhaps you can get a USB rechargeable fan they're not very much
money you can clip them on wherever you want recharge them and then you have the little bit
of air that you can blow along and cool you if you need to having a bit of air flow can
make a lot of difference in keeping you comfortable in all kinds of situations
next make sure that you have some sturdy tarps this is not something you should buy at Dollar
Tree you need to get a sturdy heavy duty tarp what if something happens to say the roof
of your RV or your emergency shed and you need to use the tarp to cover over something from
wind damage or a tree branch blew through it or it just started leaking in the rain then you have
something that you can help keep your area safe you can also use that tarp to put up some
shade if it gets extremely hot and you need to be outside of your emergency bunker or your RV
you may have an awning but you may not so have something that you could build a simple shade
shelter there are all kinds of reasons to have a tarp that can help you in many survival situations
next get a good supply of first aid supplies you can buy a basic kit as a good starting point and
usually they will include the directions on how to render first aid and then you can look
around and think about what are the risks what are the first aid emergencies that you're most
concerned with and get additional supplies so that you can take care of any emergency situation
you'll also want some hygiene supplies you don't need every single thing that you would
want in your pampering spa day but you're going to want the basics from toothbrushes hair brushes
soap baby wipes chapstick bug spray and sunscreen there are all kinds of things that you would need
so start with the basics you can even get just a travel size of each of those
have them with your supplies add to your stockpile as things become available and you think about
that something you would like to have add it to your collection of supplies we need ways
to communicate most of us have our cell phone do you have an external battery that you could
charge it up if you don't have electricity do you have some kind of a radio so that you can find out
what's going on maybe even walkie-talkies that you can put in your bug out bunker so that you
can keep track and communicate with the people in your party if some of them go out and walk around
then you can still keep track of what's going on what do you see and where are you depending
on the space you'll want to have tools think about all the tools that you use from hammers
to shovels screwdrivers pliers all of the things that you would want to have start collecting
those items even gather them in a bucket and put them with your Bug Out bunker supplies
in many emergencies you need a copy of your most important documents you need your identification
your passports your social security number your insurance information you also need to have a
copy of your important phone numbers who would you want to call everyone from your boss to your
family members to your babysitter to your child's school write down all of those on a piece of paper
and keep them with your emergency supplies have a copy in your bug out bag and also have a copy
in your bug out bunker so that you can contact the most important numbers and people if you needed to
make sure you have an emergency stash of cash because in so many situations cash can get
you through to provide the things that you need you may have in a power outage your credit card
doesn't work and you need to get gas you may find that the stores are all closed but someone on the
street corner is selling bottles of water there are all kinds of reasons why cash could help make
your life better if you have a localized emergency and you have to leave your home you could use cash
to pay for a hotel room if you needed to there are all kinds of reasons and emergencies to have small
bills you don't want to have large bills because if you want to buy a bottle of water you want to
be able to give the amount and not give them a large bill and you can't get any change back so
think about all the different scenarios where you might want to have cash on hand and then make sure
that you have some of that and that you store it safely go over the emergency prepping checklist
make sure you have the supplies you need in your home make sure you have a basic Bug Out Bag that
has the 72 hour supplies that you would need have some supplies in your car in case you're away
from home when an emergency happens and then make sure that you've thought about where could i have
an emergency Bug Out bunker and how could i stockpile some of my emergency supplies there
to give me options during different kinds of emergency situations then make a plan with your
family so that you know how to contact each other what you would do if you're at home what you would
do if you're away from home and make sure that you have a way to communicate with those people it's
also important to have photographs of your family members in case someone goes missing you also want
to have a picture of your pet and have a picture of your pet with you so you can say here is a
picture this is my pet should something happen make sure you have the supplies that you need for
your pet as far as leashes food and all of the supplies that you use on a daily basis for your
pets as well as the people that you love prepping doesn't have to be complicated it's a challenge
