    Hmm BOL means Bill of Lading on my world.

    Picking one spot and relying on that may be short sighted. Your designated locale may be gone, contaminated or under water for instance. I think mobility and ability to make just about anywhere home is a better thing to prepare for.

    I like it on the cooler side, say 59F but
    if TSHTF, 68 will do nicely.

    59° it is. I NEVER allow minor setbacks to screw up a good meal.

    That is my exact way of thinking.

    No disrespect intended. I work in transportation and use that acronym daily.
    BOL=Bill of Lading
    AWB=Air Waybill
    LTL=Less than Truck Load
    FTL=Full Truck Load
    SOL= Sh## outta Luck

    Red Lake? Is that a company-supplied hat you're wearing?

    Not company supplied.

    I don't dress for fashion, I dress to "survive" the conditions. Working and playing outside at 30 below you need to be practical, not cool.

    So is this thread about Bug Out Locations or is it about my choice of headwear?

    I guess when you are making 1000 posts a month you need something to get that post count up.

    Wow, you guys post a lot. I feel like I should respond to each of you but for now just this one, which is actually On topic.

    I have also heard of Bill of Lading since I worked in Shipping in a couple different factories.

    And I know that a Bug Out Location is not for everyone but in my case at least it is perfect. And as I have said I hope to live up there someday if/when I get enough money to pay the no good property taxes, which are "only" $200 a year but living up there money would be rare to find or earn.

    It would have to be an extreme catastrophic event to destroy my BOL - retreat, except for a terrible forest fire which is Possible but hopefully unlikely since it is covered in snow from mid Oct. to mid June. And even August and Sept. can be rainy with the "monsoon" rains. That is what the weather guys call it.

    About contamination is it might be possible If Salt Lake City got nuked and the wind was right. Maybe even points on the West Coast but that is mighty far away also.

    And about being underwater is my mtn place is at 9,500 feet with good drainage. And is on a mountain side as seen in some of the pics in the beginning of this thread.

    AND I could be mobile If necessary and go into the wilderness, go to some other cabins If necessary, even go to town if truly desperate. Saratoga and Encampment are nice little towns that can be self sufficient if necessary with the large ranches etc. surrounding them.

    Anyway, it all does not matter what others think for I am trying to do what is necessary and even some of what I want to do. Such as camp, work and even Live as much as possible in and near wilderness.

    Hope everyone can do what they need and want to do also. Even come up and visit my mtn place anytime between July 1st and Oct. 1st when I am definitely on it and when it is the most snow free time. Nice vacation area. Two people from PA said they are going to the world's largest rodeo at Cheyenne the end of July and want to come up to my place to visit. I don't charge, just bring your own supplies...
