I was real interested in most of his scenario, but as soon as he gets in to getting a fake ID made, and then renting storage space under that fake identity is a real dumbass idea, IMO. Try explaining to the cops that the reason that you're renting w/ a fake identity using an illegal ID and creating offshore bank accounts is "just in case" you're the victim of a government conspiracy... It'd make for a great movie (Conspiracy Theory w/ Mel Gibson was great!) but I'd really suggest that no one goes out creating a 2nd identity in case "the man" strikes.

I do agree w/ a lot of his ideas though, about cash, food, guns, camping gear... (the bank account isn't a BAD idea, but you might as well just use cash) - basically one of "our" bug out bags, but make sure to have plenty of cash and calling cards, which is something that Ron mentioned in his list I believe.

Good link Ted - it really made me think!

One thing I always think about is if The POO really hit the fan, would cash really be that useful? And would the phone systems work?

I don't suppose, you have a picture of the actual bag itself......I always hate website pictures.

Nope, they have a shelf life of 25 days. See here: Forever Twinkies

What would make good currency in the worst situation would be things like: gold, silver, (small amounts like “junk” silver coins, can’t buy a loaf of bread with a gold bar) fishhooks, ammo, toilet paper, medical supplies, liquor, cigarettes, tools, nails, cordage, food, etc. Anything that someone would want to make life more comfortable, improve their way of life, feed their addictions and cravings, etc.

Yep, info is quite useful. Learn that kind of stuff now while you have access to information and materials. Alcohol can also be used for lighting, sterilization, drinking, fuel, fire starting, etc.

If a female may join the discussion, the BOB is one of my favorite topics.
We also use the dual BOB method. I personally use the Maxpedition Proteus and the old Baby Condor backpack. The proteus goes wherever I go.
I also agree with the importance of knives and firemaking. I keep multiples of each, both on my person and in each bag.
I like the idea of the braided paracord on the keychain... I will have to add that.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Lupa - Howdy and Welcome to the Scrap Yard! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Please feel free to join in on our discussions, as all ideas are welcome. Personally, I like to see other people's ideas and then adapt them to my possible use. Same reason I keep a small library of survival related books - many ideas from different people from different locations. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Tom
