Great video! I am a "certain age" and bugging out just isn't feasible for me. I have bugged out for hurricanes in the past, but it was such a stressful ordeal, I have stayed in for other hurricanes. All of my real supplies, needs, etc., are in my home. I feel pretty safe, have good neighbors that don't leave. They aren't prepared for any kinds of disasters, either, but that's another story. 😏 I have prepped for several years now, and I feel secure in my home. Bugging out isn't a solution for everyone.

Just came back from a short city break. We did carry on luggage only with limited space (under seat) so chose a back pack to carry my items in. I am a 50 something small female who does not exercise regularly so was a little concerned about the weight and my abilities. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to travel and walk for hours with the pack on but I was very tired and my hips ached the next day. Going to keep walking from now on and build up my stamina gradually.

I think it depends on the situation, and as such I think it’s best to take the mindset of increasing your options. Definitely plan on escape if necessary, everyone should have a bug out bag and a location. There are very good reasons why your main location might not be safe. It could be that because it’s a big city, you are dependent on things being brought in and that isn’t going to happen long term. You may be a visual outlier (minority race or religion) in a time when that’s dangerous. Your primary location could be damaged or unsafe. There could be looting and crime. In any of those situations, leaving might be your best bet. On the other hand, if it’s short term and the situation is stable, staying home is the better default answer. It doesn’t create problems where there wasn’t one before. And it’s also going to make you at least something of a target if locals see your loaded down escape wagon and decide to risk trying to take your stuff.

I own a Jeep Wrangler. A few years ago I had a Jeep upfitter install a twelve-gallon auxiliary fuel tank to the space between my spare tire and the rear of the Jeep. It came with a long "shaker syphon" hose that makes transferring fuel from that tank into the primary. It cost roughly four-hundred dollars ($700 installed) and I couldn't be happier. It does block the rearview a little but not enough for me to be concerned over. The brand is TITAN. Hope this helps. 😁

Are you suggesting @14:58 that if your wife starts yarping for any reason...to set her off on the curb and use her seat to store an Anker (or compatible) solar generator? Just wondering... Good vid as usual. Comment on the tire thing: I'm late 60's and find it VERY hard to remove a flat tire that has been wrenched on with an impact tool (me using a 4-way or not). Wife doesn't change tires, never has, not going to. When I get my tires rotated on the BRONCO (read: not a Gladiator) or get new ones, I ask that they put them on by hand. Forgot this last time, got greeted by a flat not too many mornings ago, and almost wrenched my back out and tore up my arthritic hands changing the tire. Just a tho't. On the gas thingy, we never let our vehicles get below ¾ tank. Pain, yes, but we're assured that we have near maximum mileage at all times. Also, our stored pusholine in the garage is measure in miles, not gallons. At any time we know how far we can get if the plop-plop hits the rotary oscillator. Guys--if you watch, give a thumbs-up.

Just so you know, most passenger vehicle get their best milage somewhere between 58 and 62 miles per hour. You might also want to know that springtime in Wyoming can be defined with the following: Sunny but overcast, calm but windy, 65 degrees and snow and that’s just the first day. After that all bets are off.
