cheap camping tents for sale image
Winobot Du
I have decided to put together a bug out bag for a SHTF situation, and figured it would be a good idea to see what other people have so i dont forget something that would be useful. I have two US surplus day packs i will probably fill up. What do you have in yours and what is the bag?
Answer
I use many duffel bags that i got for free, and one wooden ammo case that I refinished. I also have a few unmarked cardboard boxes.
my BOB is something I stick into the minivan and get out of town asap. I have no plans to hike out of town, I live in the middle of a large city.
12 MREs handpicked, all my favorite menus
32 bottles of water- Kirkland 16.9 FL oz each

mountain house dehydrated foods, 36 units, favorites only
water filter

titanium knife-fork-spoon utensil
as many matchbooks as I can cram into a 1 gallon zip lock bag
several cheap Bic lighters

Camping Gaz piezoelectric 80W blue butane lamp
2x blue butane bottles (for the lamp)
1 wooden ammo case that holds lots and lots of glow sticks, and anything else fragile. its has tons of padding, it was designed to take a 33 foot fall without any glow sticks breaking. 33feet is because that's the highest I test the case falling. I threw it off the roof to the cold, hard concrete driveway below. I think its 33 feet, I'm really bad at math.

1 really obsolete 1978 detailed street map book of LA and Orange county - something my parents uses, i have it in case the gps breaks. I am not buying a new one, even if they're still in print.
1 book detailing wilderness survival
1 book detailing auto repair and troubleshooting
1 clear plastic ruler
1 book detailing medial aid
4 compasses- in case one broke.
for defensive purposes, my vehicle may be attacked, ambushed, or mobbed depending on the situation, I must be prepared for that.
a simple cardboard box holds 10x 30rd AK magazines, 12 clips of russian light ball for my mosin nagant, 5 clips of Czech AP for my mosin nagant, 35- 20 ga #3 buck, 50- 20 ga 3/4 oz slugs, orange and grey smoke emitters, two bricks of .22lr, various fireworks or firecrackers I believe may be used, and two machetes- one cheap walmart one for chopping and one expensive Ontario knife one for sawing. that would be put up front next to me between my passenger.
the few cardboard boxes part of my BOB holds even more ammo. 960 rounds of 7.62x39mm, 370 rounds 7.62x54mmr, 3660 rounds .22lr, 182 #7.5 birdshot, and many, many, many "firecrackers".
the BOB is to get out of the city into the forests and be able to live out there for at least 2 months with occasional ventures into the city for more supplies and such.

This might sound wierd how do you deal with being poor at 32. I have a roof over my head until my gram passes?

I have student loans up to my ears. I have an education but my is a job anyone can get. So, my education is useless. How do you cop with never having anything.
Answer
I actually like the other answers! :)
I agree - it's really one step at a time. I should know - I lived in a tent for a year working at a National Park cleaning hotel rooms and toilets. Now I am a college graduate living with a really nice husband and funny daughter and funny cat in the country and trying to make my own path yet again.
One step at a time. I started doing online surveys years ago for points to cash in for gift cards and funky prizes. You have a computer. Try these survey sites for real rewards:
http://www.harrispollonline.com - this site has been doing polls and surveys for years and points can be redeemed for gift cards like iTunes and stuff.
http://www.zoompanel.com -- this site offers surveys for points which can be redeemed for the funky prizes like off-brand mp3 players and crazy stuff.
http://www.globalopinionpanels.com --- this is a survey site that offer points for more gift cards for clothing stores, restaurants, and hotels.
http://www.mysurvey.com --- this is a survey-taking site that lets you exchange points for real money!
Now that Christmas and birthdays were taken care of without breaking me, I learned how to shop at thrift stores for things I needed or wanted (except socks and underwear, of course) I built up my "50-cent library" by buying books I wanted at anywhere from free to 25cents to 50cents to 2 dollars per book.
I learned to sew quilts from material from the free bin using patterns from old quilting magazines and a borrowed sewing machine. Even though I now have my own sewing machine, I still try to use up the free fabric in creative ways to donate quilts to charity.
I am not too proud to take free things when offered or pick up thrown-away objects by the side of the road. My goodness, at the last day of the rummage sale at the church they offered to give away everything outside on the grass for free and I came away with all kinds of camping equipment. Many times when I volunteer at the rummage sale the church ladies allow you to trade "even up", meaning I donate a bag of clothes and they let me take home a bag of all different clothes.
If you want beautiful flowers, you need to plant seeds and learn when to water and fertilize! A simple book can help you grow flowers where you live.
Learn to cook and learn what to do with a bag of free oranges or leftover chicken. (make orange syrup and coat the chicken for "orange chicken stir-fry")
As for student loans - a token payment is better than no payment at all. I have done some odd jobs to pay the interest rates while I am unemployed. If you become a full-time volunteer at a major charity, your student loans will be reduced.
Go to your local employment agency and sign up for temporary work. A lot of temporary jobs become real jobs when they see your work ethic. Any foot in the door and any payment towards your loans is better than nothing. Acquire what you need to survive for free or really cheap and put your money towards paying your loans. We have lived "on-the-cheap" for the past 10 years while paying off 2 credit-card debts and a car loan and they just ended last month. Now the payments can be rolled over into my student loans and hopefully we will be debt-free in 10 years. I plan on living that long!
Learn how to enjoy life without spending money. This summer we are back at the lake and the community pool. We swim in the river, we pack a sandwich and a coke and we are fine enjoying the outdoors. We watch the dollar movies at the theater and we go to the free music in the park at nights.
Life is every day and life is what YOU make of it. Time to make it!
