Show Notes
Stuck on an interstate overnight? Power out for days? This episode breaks down practical preparedness you’ll actually use—no LARPing, just real plans that keep your family safe. We unpack the difference between a Get-Home Bag (72-hour kit) and a Bugout Bag (long-term sustainment), when to “bug in” vs “bug out,” and how to build kits that fit your budget and your reality. In this episode, we cover:
- Go Bag vs Bugout Bag: What each is for and how they work together
- Real scenarios: Atlanta “Snowmageddon,” flooded highways, grid-down nights
- Top-5 essentials: Water purification (not just filtering), fire starting, cutting tools, weather-ready clothing, light/comms
- Redundancy rules: “One is none, two is one”—why backups matter
- Family planning: Packing for kids, staying put safely, when to move
- Night vision basics: PVS-14 vs duals, why low-light mobility is a superpower
- Cold/rain strategy: Wool layers, footwear, ponchos vs noisy rain shells
