the 72hour BOB thoughts and realites.
Ever sinc FEMA created the 72 thoery the prepper/survivalst community jumped on that number
like white on rice.but let us look at this for a moment. the govt,s belief is that is all the time
they,ll need to restore whatever,tens of millions of thes bags have and continue to besold
why is that.
go to youtube type in bug out bags, and you,ll be blinded by the ammount of post there
my guess is by people who never even been camping let alone been in a survival situation.
posting photos of how they,ll survive, with six knives and more snivel gear than you could imagine
and not one single roll of toilet paper.
what are they mongrels they wont last a week. in a tru shtf enviroment sanitation and clean water
will be paramount to survival. dont believe me look at what happend in hatie a few years ago.
hundreds of thousands died from cholera just saying. far too many people have bought into the psychology
of the 72 hr bag when they have to travel any where from 200 to 600 miles or more
mainly by vehicle not my guess taking into account that if thier vehicle breaks down
or thier run and gun tactics did,nt go as planed you know a fubar situation. now they got to hump
hundreds of miles with a 3day loadout. these are the ones we,ll find on the roadsides in droves
dead as posts with all that new tactical gear oh my. everyone,,s needs are differnt no two
bobs are the same . the seven p,s trully apply here. sadly people some how believe that thier
72hr bag will get them accross country.all i can suggest here is plan,plan,plan and then do your loadout
whydo i need this or that? how will it affect my survival if i don,t carry it? what is a GSW,kit do
i need one how do i use it.what if my shoes wear out do i know how to make another pair.
will this bag as it is packed carry me for a month if worse come to worse? if one lives in a large city
a 72hr bag would be fine to get you to the otherside of town but not to uncle bobs farm
300 miles away. i know i,m preaching to the chior here for the most part but thier are a number of youngsters here as well not as seasoned as many of us here. too these i post this thread
post shtf the road will be cruel and unforgiving to you i say get all the survival training you can now
learn to be a scrounger at heart. heck ask the homeless how do you survive really.you would be suprised
i,m sure at some of the answers they give. so no matter how muchgear you may have in that day
the most important thing you,ll carry is the knowledge between your ears that will carry the
the day as well as your will to survive.
