In the next few weeks I will go from having a well-supplied live in country refuge safely away from a dense population center to being right in the middle of the **** show without the vast majority of my preps and armaments readily at hand. To be fair I often find myself away from the compound and rely on my get home bag to help ensure that I am able to return. What's happening now however, is a whole other level of putting myself into the very place I don't want to be if survival is my primary concern.
My short term response to this is two fold: (1) Turn my Chevy Colorado into a well equipped ready to go escape and evade vehicle that will sit inside the storage facility with many other supplies, and (2) inventory and upgrade my 72 hour bag and make a plan with multiple contingencies to get myself, the lady and her daughter from wherever we are when the SHTF to said storage facility. I also plan to talk to the storage facility owner about making that unit my temporary BOL for the time being. In which case I would need or want additional supplies for that purpose.
I haven't sold my Honda Ruckus yet, and am starting to think maybe I should keep it and even buy a second one. Might be easier to flee the city in a small easily to maneuver vehicle than a Dodge Challenger. I only need to make it about 18 miles.
Anything else I should be thinking about?
