Build a Bug Out Bag

[NorthernRaider]

I love dogs, HATE CATS, couldnt eat a whole dog in one session though, We have a Border terrier that thinks its a Were Terrier. My issues with domestic pets is thus, If we have a major SHTF situation and we lose power then we also lose water, gas, sewage, lighting and refrigeration, so unless we maintain insanely high levels of hygiene in our homes we will almost certainly be taken down by diseases. One of those steps MUST be not having dogs or cats wandering around outdoors stepping in god knows what, scoffing infected carrion then coming home to jump all over the house, licking people, walking on worktops etc.
So Kitty and FIDO really should be confined to the outdoors during the crisis.
