bugging out on foot in winter
I konw many of the young and energetic yet naieve survivalist dream of bugging out.
i,ll go to the hills and live off the land is the thing we allways hear. heck i even said
those very words 20 sumtin yrs, ago.i was involved in a vehicle rollover jan 5th of this year.
the tempeture was -50 belowzero at night in the country.when the car stopped rolling it was upside
down and the roof cavedin a foot which made the chevy aveo4dr even smaller.if i were say 6ft tall
oh say 200lbs i would have never made it out to go find help. my wife and i would both have died.
all the gear in the car was tossed around like in a clothes dryer, couldt find my gloves flaslight nothing.
i found a sm fire extingusher i carry and broke out the rear window crawled out my wife was hanging upsidedown in her safty belt i was not wearing one and it turned out to be a good thing too.
got out the back window and opend her door both driver side doors were buired in the snow bank.
i undid her safty belt and helped turn her over on the cars cieling and coverd her with the furs i carry in winter a pony blanket,lg,deer hide and coyote fur and a wool blanket.i then went for help i jogged across
the field to the farmhouse about a 1/4mile away no one home so i came back to the car checked on my wife
and then went back out down the mile to the corner in that amount of time i got 2nd degree frostbite.
lost fuction for the most part of my hands. finally was able to flag down a vehicle to call 911
and get an abulance and help.what if the vehicle broke down on you in these conditions? and you were buggig out.in a shtf senario with no 911 or someone to help youd die plain and simple my guess.
funny thing this all happend on our way home just two mile from the house.
