Maybe as time passes they will settle down into the prep mode. I know it seems like many are in survival mode here in Texas. We have had some wake up calls. Let's see who doesn't forget them.Hilltop Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11851437447741063776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-26709714646083335542011-09-09T09:50:56.149-05:002011-09-09T09:50:56.149-05:00Don, Thanks for that great observation.

You will have to have everything you need to survive for those three days in a bag that is light enough to carry. That means going miniature. <br />First aid kits can be bought complete and small. <br />Daily Medications, I vacuumed sealed at least a weeks worth of prescription and over the counter medications in different baggies with labels.<br />For all the other stuff I walked down the camping isles at every store I went to. I picked up the small stuff used for hikers because they are compact and light weight. <br />Do not get me wrong, my bag is stuffed and I even have things hanging off the outside. I also had to have a food and water bag to be attached to the main bag. It holds all the MRE's, energy bars and water bottles. <br />I hope this helps and if you need anything else like a list of what I have in it just let me know.Modern Day Redneckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682843961510053146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-13260140061278518572011-09-09T09:26:37.129-05:002011-09-09T09:26:37.129-05:00I have started getting my bob together after your ...I have started getting my bob together after your post the other day not to sure about the food stuff tho and nmaybe first aid stuff not a whole lot of room in those bags for much got any ideas and this posting was very interesting it is what I have been thinking for a long time nowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-3178290823254928152011-09-09T09:13:01.342-05:002011-09-09T09:13:01.342-05:00MDR, your statistics just prove what i've alwa...MDR, your statistics just prove what i've always believed.

It's the truth. <br /><br />Fire in Bastrop is 70 percent under control, more than twice the percent they were saying yesterday. Wind is calm and though it's sunny and probably 95 degrees outside, it is refreshingly COOL compared to the heat wave we've endured in recent months. Technically my vacation started today ...but in reality my 'work' for today just shifted from my paid job to my domestic duties. I'm spending today getting this house and Yeoldfurt prepared to do without me for the next few days. I'll only be gone three nights and I'm sure he'll survive. He might even enjoy his total autonomy for the first couple of days. Then he'd better start missing me. He better be missing me a lot by the time I get home Monday. If not, then I'm not doing my job as his wife very well, am I?!HossBosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13444735851486747330noreply@blogger.com
