I guess I should say my greatest addiction BESIDES needing my diabetes meds and blood pressure. BUT then again, if IT happened those problems could go away or be taken care of with minimal food to to get to, that is if We couldn't "Take it with us". We have several cases of corn, peas, beans of differents sorts, fruit... you get the idea. We also have a couple cases of bottled water just because we were given some. needless to say the back of the truck IF WE COULD DRIVE wouldn't be empty. And food wouldn't be the only thing back there. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Sometimes we could (do?)get swept up in an idea, Bug Out Bag, and ignore the preparations that we need to do and keep at home for times that emergency stores may be required but it IS NOT necessary to actually leave.

I read a book as a child (and several times as an adult) called Alas Babylon. they used a term I like. IRON RATIONS! Think of your BOB as your iron rations to get you to safety, in the event leaving IS NECESSARY, and your "Home stores" as your "just in case" items.
