Having seen a reference to the charity ShelterBox and the aid it provides it’s made me think (a dangerous situation).
My first choice in an emergency is to get home asap where our preps are and we would be safest.
If we need to evacuate our home on a temporary basis or bug out long term we would use our camper van which is always well stocked with food, clothing and bedding etc. for holiday use, and in a few minutes can be loaded with ready made up crates with extra supplies, freeze dryed food, water filters and jerrycans, medicines, extra clothing, a spade and tools.
But if there was a problem with the camper what then?. Over the years we have accumulated a lot of camping gear, if it was all together, tent, gas stoves and spare cartridges, billy cans and canteen sets, lamps etc, if it’s all in one box throw it in the car, box of food, meds and bug out bag and of we go.
If we have time I drive the camper and my wife drives the car, the more preps the merrier, and our long term safety is increased.
