Emergency Preparedness Beyond 72 Hour Bug Out Bag reviews different subjects such as bug out vehicle, location and what to do once you are there.

This is the backup plan in case of a natural disaster or loss of power that occurs in the area. This goes beyond staying at home and hearing from officials, but it could be a bit more dangerous to stay at home, which is why having a so-called “bug out vehicle” in the driveway can help. Buy a mid-size or small travel trailer, clean it up, and have a working fridge and stove installed, if it’s not there. Then, stock up the mini-kitchen with all spices, mixes, and dried foods that are not perishable. This includes rice, beans, sugar, flour, salt & pepper, and dehydrated foods. Have drawers and shelves to hold plates, silverware, and other necessary kitchen items. Top off the kitchen with an indoor-safe portable propane heater.

Right by the kitchen is the bedroom, which can include a double bed and a storage unit under it to place various necessities inside – including a shotgun. Don’t forget the flashlight, batteries, and first-aid kit. Have space to create a small closet for clothing and shoes. Next, there is the bathroom and what can be placed in such a tiny setting. Get a battery-operated shower/tub, heat the water on the stove, and carry it into the tub or tank for the shower. The toilet – a five-gallon bucket – should be urine only; the other stuff needs to be taken outside (sorry!).

The rest of the trailer, mainly outside, should hold two full 35-pound propane tanks, cans of gasoline, tools, ropes, and other major necessities. Organize accordingly and the emergency trailer is ready for use when needed.
