Too many preppers ignore this... When disaster strikes you might find yourself in a situation where you're not only forced to evacuate your home but have no other option than to walk to safety... and "safety" could be 100 miles away. Just 2 miles into your 100-mile journey, the reality will set in. Your sweaty feet are beginning to blister, you're losing precious time whenever you stop to drink water (which is quickly running out) and now that it's dark you're seriously terrified about getting separated from your kids or grandkids. You're learning a hard truth about bugging out every infantryman has learned the hard way: Your bugout bag is only as good as the gear you pack. You can have the best "bugout" bag in the world packed with high-tech gadgets and still end up dying 3 miles from safety because you overlooked the essentials. Last week I told you about the 10 essential features to look for in a bugout bag... this week, I'll share with you 11 things I learned (the “hard way”) to pack in your bag to avoid the pain and reach your destination safe and sound.
