MOCK BUGOUT

BEING UNEMPLOYED HAS SLOWED ME DOWN A BIT ON MY PREP'S BUT I PLUNG ON. I HAVE ADDED A FEW THINGS TO MY PREP'S LIST--- 1 STAINLESS STEEL COFFEE POT .IT'S AN OLDER ONE AND MAD FAR BETTER THAN THE CRAP TODAY . I ADDED A FEW PEICE'S OF TUPPERWARE GREAT STUFF WATER TIGHT I USE IT TO STORE MY BUG OUT SILVERWARE . AND A 7 DAY SUPPLY OF COFFEE. ALL ITEMS COST ME LESS THAN 3 BUCK'S AT A LOCAL FLEA MARKET. ON THE BUGOUT FRONT WE HAVE TAKEN THE FREE TIME TO DO A MOCK BUG OUT AND ALL DID NOT GO AS PLANED . IT TOOK US AN HOUR TO LOAD THE EXPLORER NOT A GOOD START. WHEN WE MADE CAMP IT WAS A SMALL CIRCLE JERK. ( WE DID THIS WITH MY BROTHER AND SISTER IN LAW) FIRST THEY TRIED TO SET UP THERE TENT IN A AREA THAT WAS A WATER RUNOFF INTO THE LAKE. HEY THERE MY INLAW'S NOT THE SMARTIST OF FOLKES. SO AFTER 30 MIN OF EXPLAINING TO THEM WHY THEY SHOULD MOVE THERE TENT THEY RELENTED AND DID . GOOD NEW'S NO RAIN.

SECOND MISS FIRE NO CHAIN SAW OR AX ONLY A HATCHET SO WE WERE FORCED TO SCROUNG FOR TRIG'S (CHAIN SAW ANS AX IN BARN ) BUT WE MADE IT THROUGH THE NITE . THIRD MISS FIRE WAS I BROUGHT THE ONLY FLASHLIGHT MY BIG MAG LIGHT . WE DID HAVE MY 3 OIL LANTERN'S I BURN KEROSEN IN THEM NOT LAMP OIL. THIRD MISS FIRE WAS OUR SUPPLY'S TO BUG OUT WERE IN 4 DIFFERENT BUILDING'S AND MY MESS SETUP WAS WELL TO BE BLUNT SHIT.

SO WE HAVE MADE SOME CHANGE'S I WOULD LIKE TO INTERDUCE YOU ALL TO RUBBERMAID TOTES-- NOW OUR BUG OUT SUPPLY'S ARE ALL IN ONE PLACE . CAN BE LOADED IN MOMENTS NOT HOURS I HAVE BROKE IT DOWN IN TO 4 TOTES ANS 2 MILK CRATES . TENT'S SLEEPING BAGE'S AND KNIFE CASES ALONG WITH HAND AX IN ONE. KITCHEN IN ANOTHER ,PAPER GOODS IN ONE AND 7 DAY'S OF FOOD IN THE LAST. IN ONE MILK CRATE ARE 3 LANTER'S AND 2 GAL OF FUEL . STOVE FUEL IN THE LAST. STOVE, CHAIN SAW ,SPLITING MAUL ,AX AND BUCK SAW ARE IN THE CORNER WATING TO GO ALONG WITH ITEMS TO BE LOADED ON OUR SMALL TRAILER WITCH INCLUDE 2 SHOVELS,PICK, HOE,RACK ALSO TOOL'S GO IN THE EXPLORE . TOTAL LOAD TIME INCLUDING TRAILER 22 MIN OUT THE DRIVE. WITH FOOD FOR 90 DAY'S .

WE STORE ALL OUR PREP'S IN TOTE'S SO IT'S AS EASY AS SNACH AND LOAD AS FOR OUR FROZEN STUFFS WE KEEP 4 ICE CHEST'S ON BACK PORCH ALONG WITH 12 2 LTER BOTTLES IN FREEZER FOR ICE. ON THE FUEL FRONT I HAVE 5 GAL KEROSENE IN BARN ALONG WITH 35 GAL OF GAS 15 OF IT IN JERRY CAN'S ATTCHED TO SIDE OF TRAILER THE REST IN GAS CAN'S ( RED WALMARE CAN'S) 2 SPARE'S FOR TRAILER AND 3 FOR EXPLORER ONE UNDER BODY 2 IN TRAILER ALONGE WITH SPARE PART'S I'M LACKING A GAS COMPRESSER BUT PLAN'S ARE UNDER WAY TO BUILD ONE INTO THE TRAILER SO THAT'S WERE I'M AT -----------KEEP PREPPING--MADDOG---
