Bug Out Scenario

RE: Bug Out Scenario
Hi S13.

The OH and I are both in our late seventies so we won’t be bugging out anywhere unless it’s on four wheels, fortunately we’re lucky, we have the camper and as backup BOV the car. Our preference however has always been to bug in unless our lives are at risk.

We were both doing a lot of hill walking right up to our sixties, in all weathers and have used all types of waterproofs over the years. Waxed jackets are good for outside work and gardening etc but not for days at a time in a BO situation, too heavy and restrictive.

Modern waterproofs are breathable and layered clothing will keep you dry and warm enough but in a severe storm three hours without shelter can still kill you. Steady heavy rain is not too bad but with gale force winds it’s an other ball game, you can’t fight the wind it saps all your strength.

Still clothing is all a matter of personal choice. Find out what works best for you.

Shelter, security, water, food, cooking, heating, lighting, first aid, medication, communication,
power (electricity), transport.
