I stock water all the time, despite owning some camping filters...

Two Tips:

1. always be prepared to camp or 'camp' in your house for a couple of weeks water/food/first aid/ etc.

2. visit your friendly neighborhood LDS/Mormon and get a tour of the basement - they know what they're doing in terms of being ready for a disaster

Please. Mormons are too busy boinking their cousins. Sex trafficking missionaries, and other **** like that.
That said like any cult, they stock pile food like crazy.

you need to go back to PARF

Bidet. A couple of squares of tp and a splash of water a day and you're clean as a whistle....

[herr_oberst]

Apparently in GB during WWII, soldiers were issued 3 squares of tp a day. One up, one down, one to polish was all you should need, said the men in charge....

I could never be a Mormon. I would eat all of my food and my cousins are fugly.

I've had one for years and years. Time to see what's in it. I know there is a portable water filtration system in it, some basic stuff like fire starters, knife, food.

Among many other items in my get home bag is a 2 LIFESTRAWS (I don't plan on bugging out anywhere, I live where most would want to go...a 10 acre farm near nothing). https://www.walmart.com/ip/Lifestraw-Personal-Water-Filter/22209336

That doesn't make sense. The tube is a very low density, low cost item. It would not pay to ship them.

I have a list of things to grab in case of a tornado before I head to the scaredy hole in the garage. Dog leashes (and the dogs), our meds, and cell phones and and the wife's purse.

I simply can't see a situation where water is a major need. The highest winds ever recorded on Earth 300+ MPH in the Moore, OK tornado flattened buildings and did significant damage. Yet just walk 1/2 a mile away and civilization was totally unchanged. We did not even have a power blink in our part of town that day.

We do have plenty of water in our shelter, and a 5 gallon bucket in case we are trapped down there. The shelter is registered with the city, and they know to send rescue teams to look in all the shelters, so help will be coming even if a F5 tornado drops a simi truck on our shelter.

I know we are totally immune to tsunamis, and hurricanes are no big worry. Massive earthquakes are just not likely at all. Wildfires are in the realm of possiblity, but really low worry. We live on a hill and I don't think there is enough water anywhere to ever flood us. Zombies are make believe. Extraterrestrial aliens attacking are unlikely with bigfoot and the unicorns to protect us.

So no, I don't have a real bug out bag.

I wish we had a Bigfoot and a unicorn to protect us here.

They were told to panic and like good sheep, they are doing exactly that. Mass, programmed hysteria.

Obviously you are not very informed on the subject, and now we all know that.

We are in the midst of a pandemic. Panicked people are running wild in the streets, filtering Corona beer through gas masks, and hoarding toilet paper. For God’s sake man, this is no time for logic and common sense.

In Rockwall TeXASS (white flight area 20 miles east of Dallas), area grocery stores, Target, etc., are all sold out of TP. Whitey is truly nutz!!!
