Even though my last post was on building a GO Bag, I wanted to point out the fallacies of using that as your primary plan and not as your contingency or emergency options.

When I had my Raptor ute, if i just threw my GO bag into the back, with the amount of food Id be carrying in that bag, there’s 5 days. In reality Id throw in the GO bag for my equipment bag then a duffel of dehydrated food supplies, another duffel of clothing, tools, Jerry cans of fuel, Jerry cans of water, larger medical kits, 6 months of my meds, larger solar array, chainsaw, generator, etc etc. There’s two months before becoming a refugee.

In my van I have three weeks of tinned food and a water filter on my sink and 6×8 trailer with 6 months of supplies and a secure place to sleep. Id need to find alternative sources of water after two weeks and I could only travel as far as a tank of gas and two Jerry cans filled with diesel could take me if my tank was full from the beginning. How far could you get carrying all this equipment on your back.

The second video is placed here to show your not only escaping a disaster but you have to work your way through major damage to infrastructure. Damaged roads and bridges etc.
