EMP? Solar event? Yes, far fetched, but remotely possible nonetheless. Do you travel with a Bug Out Bag (survival kit)? Weapon? Can you walk home from where you are camping? Just curious. Thanks. * This post was edited 01/01/13 05:21pm by Pirate * Francesca Knowles • View posts Port Hadlock, Washington Senior Member Joined: 02/23/2011 View Profile Offline Posted: 12/30/12 05:04pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Since I'm always prepared to stay alive for a few days whether traveling or at home, I never give "bugging out" another thought.

It just takes time.

Am I suicidal? No, but I won't miss this life much either. And the ones I really love will be "there" with me.

Several years ago we had an accident and wrecked our TT and TV. We rented a car, filled it with the contents of the TT an drove home. Fortunately we weren't too far from home.

So you are traveling 60MPH down I-whatever, 200 miles from home, your RV and every other vehicle on the interstate fails to continue to operate. Now, what would you do. This could be from a solar flair or a scud fired off a container ship near the coast. I don't want to argue about the cause, just the after-effect.

Nothing left, no doctors, hospitals, dentists etc... You're back in the dark ages. Life expectancy has dropped from 80 to 30 You've already lived past your expiry date. Oh joy, great fun awaits.
