Bug Out Necessities for Preppers Prepping To Bug Out Or Evacuate there it is
we made it to Granny Camp Alaska Off Grid Cabin it's still buried in snow come on let's go
hi it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper I'm out at Granny Camp Alaska Off Grid Cabin I came out
today to see how everything looks it's still a lot of snow out here that's springtime in Alaska on
my way out here I thought what if I had to bug out what would I actually need to have if this
was where I had to come because it was no longer safe to stay in my home and that's something you
should think about when you set out for the day do you have a bug out bag 72 hour kit get home bag
with you or some kind of get home gear in your car the first thing you might want to make sure
that you always have in your car is a paper map if for some reason you don't have your phone your
phone dies the internet isn't working we rely on electronics when we shouldn't we should rely
on our own actual skills and being able to read a paper map and decide how to get from here to there
with just that map is a real skill that a lot of people don't realize that they
need to know anymore so get a paper map of any areas that around your home or where you might
be traveling in any kind of a situation you want to make sure that you keep your car full of gas
and you have the proper oil and fluids so that if you did need to take your car and go somewhere
and stay there you have the means to do it in a lot of emergencies the gas stations aren't open
or they're not working properly maybe there's a power outage a storm or the line is two miles
long because in an emergency everybody needs to go get gas if you've already made sure that you
keep your car with gas you don't need to get at the end of that line you've prepared ahead
for any kind of an emergency that could come along to bug out evacuate make sure that you only have
essentials with you you don't want to burden yourself with your load that's so big that you
can't fit the emergency supplies things that you need properly or that the people that are with you
aren't comfortable on your journey then you need to plan out your route if you live in a city area
it may not be safe to travel at night you have to decide what your route is and where you could go
and you always want to keep your doors locked at all times if you've ever seen on the news when
people get carjacked guess what they're sitting at a light or at a gas station or at a stop sign
and somebody runs pulls open the door and jumps in if the doors are locked they run on to the
next car so just that simple little thing of keeping your doors locked can help keep
you safe in an everyday situation make sure you have some open and eat foods with you this isn't
a time when you want your beans rice and pasta in an emergency you need things like granola bars or
instant open and eat meals meals that are already cooked that would be maybe heated up and be nice
but it isn't necessary you can buy emergency bug out bag easy MRE meals in a pouch a dish
you can even use some canned food and anything that you anything that you can open and eat and
oh look who's here Teddy
and make sure you have supplies also for your pets
have enough water that you have some to drink and make sure that you include a little dish so that
you can have water for your pet as well if you take life-sustaining medication make sure you have
some of that with you in your emergency gear so that you have at least several days worth so that
you can figure out what to do next if you have prescriptions keep a paper copy of it with you
because if you run out or if you don't have them or in certain kind of situations you can
go to a pharmacy and a pharmacist can help you figure out what to do next if you just want to
go in and you don't really remember the name of your medication or where you got it you're
going to have a lot harder time trying to track down prescription medications than if you can
show a copy and explain your situation so along with your paper prescriptions make sure you have
your identification your insurance information and any of the important contact information of
people that you would want to get a hold of in an emergency have some cold weather clothes in
your car because even in the summertime when the sun goes down it gets cold many places maybe have
a few blankets some kind of a sleeping bag some kind of a way that you could sleep in your car if
you needed to or whenever you got to wherever you were going you had some way that you could sleep
on every day-to-day situation we need enough food we need water and we also need enough rest to be
able to do the best of whatever situation is presented to us have some first aid supplies
and some hygiene supplies make sure you have a way to communicate even if it's just a radio
so that you can find out what's going on in your area if you do have cell phones and they're able
to be used make sure that you have them fully charged or that you have something like the cord
to charge it up or some of the little battery packs that allow you to charge it up some more
have some flashlights and maybe a few tools if you're going out in the snow you better make
sure you have at least a shovel so that you can dig your way out a shovel is also handy if you
get stuck in any kind of a dirt road situation a shovel is also nice if you find yourself looking
for a way to go to the bathroom behind a bush a little shovel is nice keep a roll of toilet
paper in your car keep it in a ziploc bag so that it stays dry and clean and you'll really
appreciate toilet paper if you ever need to use it we never know what the future holds we never know
what can happen we know that we like to stay in our homes we have the things we need and we're
the most comfortable there but we can't always have that option storms happen disasters come
along there are many reasons why you may not be allowed to stay in your home and you would need
to leave in your car or you go somewhere in your car and you become stranded those are all top
reasons to have supplies with you think about where you're going and what you can do always
be thinking about it because the more ways you think about how to face a challenge if it comes
along the more likely you are to make the best of it if it does come your way if you have any
