We always had a safeword for our children when someone other than us picked them up however I never thought of a BOB for them in case we couldn't reach them. I just always assumed we could. Silly silly thought.<br /><br />Now our children are grown. I have several times thought about it now that they are grown and we have moved 2 hours away. We always hoped that if something happened they would find their way from the big city to our place here in the country. That is if they would come out our way and not just stay put. Fortunately however they all have a good head on their shoulders, love of family, and are very creative.<br /><br />Thank you for putting the spark back into my thinking. It is time to do a little more work on mine and my family's survival needs.<br /><br />- GenevieveHilltop Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11851437447741063776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-54270179389371385452011-09-01T11:13:51.664-05:002011-09-01T11:13:51.664-05:00Don - Welcome and thanks for leaving a comment.

They don't call em BOB's but same idea. I have one that's grown and gone and he always had one at school. Now I have two that just started the first grade yesterday. Kind of a timely post for me. Guess I need to get busy and equip my little ones. Very good advise.

If Papaw can find them, Papaw can get them home, on a front loader if need be. Thank God for big equipment and devoted grandfathers! <br /><br />Great suggestion on the mini-BOB...that may be something I implement in the very near future.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662745930080756613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-64603145699762000932011-08-31T20:42:29.417-05:002011-08-31T20:42:29.417-05:00One thing I might add to any bug out bag is one of...One thing I might add to any bug out bag is one of the survival blankets.Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13687590785527530194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-25368139965309957372011-08-31T20:20:33.624-05:002011-08-31T20:20:33.624-05:00Thanks for the comments.
