Adult-Diaper "Prepper" and/or "Bugout" concerns?

[Amyuser]

Well if the grid goes down I can throw the breaker and switch to solar cells feeding a large bank of AGM batteries, I still can use a map and compass I don't need GPS, I have radios out the wazoo that do all bands and all modes with 100 watts native and turn on the amp I can go 1kw including on 11 metres ( Civilian CBs put out 4 watts maximum) but in a worst case scenario to save lives I can use any frequency at any power to get the message across, I also have access to TV equipment to send live audio video , and have encrypted digital at the push of a button, I have my own weather station that gives me everything from wind speed and direction to amount of solar radiation and soil conditions.

When I was a Paramedic/ Firefighter I was the department decontamination specialist for radiological and hazardous materials officer, I am also trained in airbags both how to keep them from going off after a motor vehicle accident and how to trigger them for usefull purposes which can be many things in a disaster.

Bug out bags are helpfull but so is hardening your home so that you can shelter in place if needed, because nothing beats years of experience in an area, what belongs and is "normal" and what is a danger, if you are near rail lines you can use Google to find the ins and outs, where they go and where the yards and sidings will take you, and what can be had in those yards.

Many of these measures are on my {extended} "to-Do" list--somewhere after a new roof, a better "good-car" vehicle, & numerous house-items. As some famous person once said: "The house always wins."

"If you build it they will come" that thing would have remained a cornfield but underneath would have been a nice little place , and one or 12 cornstalks would become periscope's and air changers, weapons Mounts, Dorothy Kansas sure has Changed! Yeah President Trump killed everyone , Genesis put out "Land of Confusion" to soon , let's have a a Donald remix before that fake tan and dead cat for a hairpiece gets the office,no good can come of this, except finding out MAD wad worse than we imagine.

I have enough diapers that a resupply mission would not be neccasary for a few years if I were alone, my radio gear is very portable , I have provisions "staged at multiple locations" since what is hospitable today may not hold true tommorow, I am not a prepped of any sort , I am someone who has been a volunteer for many many years as a CERT member , my chief duty is be prepared to fen for self and assist others as needed were possible to sustain life and support the relief rebuilding effort of an endangered "community" ( this can be one , or many) , so I could be prepared for a day that never comes in my life , or a mission that starts tommorow and takes the rest of my life, either way I was raised by a mother who survived the war years ( food and water lotteries, rationing , no activity after sundown , candle light only used in "secure" areas of the house to maintain darkness so bombers could not " target "areas) and learned all that stuff and then learned all the modern protections and counter measures against the more modern stuff, I can hold my own and help support a group or town of cooperative individuals ( finding individuals to cooperate could be the problem" to many chiefs and not enough Indians, most places " ) I am not a person who believes the guy with the biggest gun is in charge, it's the person who has the most relevant info for the moment, it's a give and take situation that few people are prepared for. Surviving is like a good marriage, he who remembers to put the seat down lives longest.

I used the term "Prepper" for its name-recognition thanks to:

http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/doomsday-preppers/

At the time I saw the show first, one of the channel-guide sources listed "Doomsday-Preppers" as part of a larger NG-TV project called "OUTLIERS."

I still tend to visualize a camo IZOD

Here's an afterthought on my recent >5000-mile Roadtrip. If you find yourself facing the return leg of a long Roadtrip wearing & irrigating a Foley, it might be VERY good to stock-up on the medical pure-water & saline-water before leaving the town where you got the Catheter.
