How to Bug-In: What You Need to Know to Survive a Grid-Down Disaster

November 2, 2012 By 6 Comments

Today, http://www.artofmanliness.com published an article I wrote title: How to Bug-In: What You Need to Know to Survive a Grid-Down Disaster

Hurricane Sandy is yet another sober reminder that none of us are exempt from disaster.  Sometimes, BUGGING OUT is not the best decision OR possible.  In this article I discuss a few thoughts about prepping for a potential Bug In Scenario.

Here is the link if you are interested in taking a look: http://artofmanliness.com/2012/11/01/how-to-bug-in-what-you-need-to-know-to-survive-a-grid-down-disaster/

Thank you to Brett and Kate McKay for the opportunity.

Remember, it’s not IF but WHEN,

    Howdy,

    A couple of comments on your excellent blog post on art of manliness. The water bottles, 1 and 2 liter can be used to sterilize the water too. Just fill with CLEAR water and place in the sun for a few hours. The uv rats will kill all the micro organisms very well. Emergency candles are long lasting , even if they are only making lit against the darkness. Most are not refillable. I made some that are. I have one in the car, my bag, and around the house. Here’s a link. You may use it if you like.

    Cool article!

    I’ve always been a fan of bugging in over bugging out, if possible.

    I mean… all my stuff is there.

    I find that growing your own food and stocking up on storable food is a great way to prepare for Bugging-in.

    One thing you should add is a light source…And loads of AA batteries…most things run on AA’s these days.
    Prepper friends who went through several weeks unpowered from Sandy said you can’t have too many AA’s

    Good article
