I always envy you young kids! After fighting cancer for 20 years I'm just not in shape to bug out. If the feces strikes the air movement device the only option my wife and I have is to keep the barrels cool and the magazines loaded.
What I do learn from you is things I need to have on-hand here, now. Just because I don't plan on loading up and heading out, this information can still be used for guidance and to make me think.
Even if you start small - START! Do something today, and a little more tomorrow.
And you need to prep; if for no other reason than what a perfect time to be a witness for Christ.
Bugging out is an absolute last resort for us, as my disabled wife isn't capable of doing much more than going to a motel for however length of time is needed. Important items are all ready to go if needed, along with valuables, EDC and ammo. Otherwise, we're strictly a "bug-in" pair. I have to say I have some great neighbors who we all look out for each other, most of them are also seniors, and plan to support each other if and when the time comes. I'm fairly well-prepared for as long as a month, if needed. Our house is a corner lot, with neighbors on three sides, and across the street. It isn't an ideal defensible home, so dependence on others is key...
Thanks for the training in Lake Havasu City, I've used it to try to start a conversation at my church. Just a comment on your radio equipment: If you had the capability to use Winlink with that low power radio, you would have the capability to communicate with anyone, amateur operator or not, who has an email address. I use a Yaesu ft 817 which is also a 5 watt radio and I have never not been able to connect with a Winlink gateway station no matter how remote a location I have been setup in.
Hey Brother. That tool is called a Pulaski . It’s a cutting and grubbing tool. Think of the flat end like a rototiller. This is an awesome set up. Thank you for doing a video on it .
This is a great prompt for me to do a dry run with my get home bag. I travel 1-2 hours from home a couple days a week for work. My get home bag has enough provisions and equipment to sustain myself for 3 days, which is more than enough for me to walk home but I've never stopped and rehearsed collecting and preparing the items I have in my glove box and trunk to leave my vehicle. Today is one of those travel days, so I will rehearse before I leave for home.

Preach it Brother!

Good video Keith! I’m NW5C in Texas - I like your portable antenna system. I’ll look into getting one after I update my radio gear.
My favorite precious metal is brass.
