Kids Bug out bag

[Timelord]

I would just like to clarify that there is not two perspectives on this. I have tried to point out that I am not putting up a different version of a what a Bug out Bag is and that I think it is superior or not. That is not what I have written. I do actually agree with you W&C on your strategy. BOL's & Cacheing is a very good system and I am not knocking it. I in fact recommend it for those that it suits. What I have been at pains to address this debate with, is the simple question I keep asking - What is your prep plan for if you can not reach/aquire your planned BOL or Bols and also for if you can not retrieve any caches?? Do you have one or is it game over at that point? This is not a debate about one system or another or mine is better than yours. It is a fundamental question about a preppers level of planning. Does a prepper stick ridgidly with one plan/system come hell or high water or does he/she have a back up plan in case the first can not be achieved?
My original post was answering the specific questions asked about how one would achieve a whole list of things, eg carrying a multitude of kit & surviving from a BOB - It was not to propose a rival system.
Bugging out is not always going to be an open option. Sometimes it will be stay or die... If as stated the intention would be to bug in/stay at home and then if going elsewhere later this would not be a bug out but actually a move that is not blind.... Is this not bugging out from your home? It would seem it to me & if it is done PSHTF, then you could not guarantee anything once you hit the road.
I do not recall a set of rules that says a BOB is just for getting you to a BOL. As someone else said, a GHB may do just fine for that. (that is their opinion by the way)
These definitions will be interperated slightly differently for everyone. It does not really matter. What matters is a preppers level & associated awareness of prep risks. We must all be careful not to advise inexperienced new enquiring preppers that our individual system is the one true way.
There are no guarantees and having any kit should not be relied on.

I will leave it at that on this thread, as I can not keep asking the same question in debate. I respect your views and experience & wish only the best for all. Sincere regards, TL.

That should read "stay & die or bug out" in paragraph 2.
