It’s the human condition to never believe it’s going to happen to you. You’ll never get cancer, or have that heart attack or be hit by that hurricane. You definitely won’t be in a car accident. (Because we all know you’re, like, the best driver ever!) Soldiers who go to war all think they’re going to come home too, but the fact is sometimes our number is up.
It’s easy to put our heads in the sand and not think about getting prepared for an emergency or survival situation but when something bad does happen, you want to be ready. One thing I’ve noticed time and time again is that when people are prepared they are able to stay calm and keep their wits about them. Whether it’s a fight or just a math test, when you’re prepared you are calm and able to perform at your best. If there is ever a situation where you need calm thinking and actions it’s in a disaster or survival situation.
The best way to be ready for anything is to have a detailed bug out plan and a well stocked bug out bag that will allow you and your family to get out of most any situation to a safe place.
You may be amazed at how much you can reduce your anxiety and worry just by having your bug out bag ready. On this page you’ll find checklists, articles and guides to making the ultimate bug out plans and bags. All of which you can easily tailor to your own unique situation.
