Huuuuh, Uuuuhhhhhh hhuhuuhhhuuuuuuu, huuu huuhuuuhuhuhuhuuuuuu - Um, Beavis, I think this guy is lost. hhuuhuhuuuuhhu

 

I have a question.

How many 20L NATO Jerry cans Should I carry? I was thinking 4? or 5? with 2 spouts? - Thats roughly 20gal and with a full tank, that gives me ~600 - 800 miles range. - All things considered.

 

If you guys are looking for some great food choices, I ended up buying from Wise Foods. I have a 7 day bucket for each person in my family along with a couple one person 3 day kits.

I have a similar system with action packers - essential camping gear in 1 and the other for optional/as needed items.

I use the sawyer squeeze filter. Been using it backpacking for years. Small and easy to use. Fits in a glove box. And best of all - pretty cheap.

I wouldnt say it was boring but it wasnt the greatest... Just finished Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the End

$14 The Beginning of the End (Apocalypse Z)

http://www.amazon.com/Apocalypse-Z-The-Beginning-End/dp/1612184340/ref=pd_sim_b_1 and it was def more entertaining read. Cant wait for the next one!

 

Subd. great thread.

 

Anybody seen TheUrbanPrepper's channel on YouTube? Has a fan-fucking-tastic video write-up on his BOB and EDC bags. Truly one of the better setups and walkthroughs I've ever seen.

Then of course there is SensiblePrepper and sootch00. Been watching a ton of shit on YouTube about SHTF stuff.

Do you guys honestly worry about earthquakes quite a bit up there? I feel like it's similar to how us Floridians worry about hurricanes, except that we know when a hurricane is about to hit. True?

Only reason I ask is there is a remote chance that we will be relocating up that way soon and it's something I've wondered.

Fink

 

Interesting. Is it a pretty common fear/reason for prepping in that area?

I completely agree with this. The assholes in the movies who kill people for their food and steal their gear would be completely legit in a real world situation if things ever got real desperate. If some stranger dirtbag had a choice between stealing your stuff and/or killing you just to save their own ass, they very well would.

I don't know if anyone has seen The Road with Vigo Mortensen, but it highlights the times when things do get desperate. I found it is on Netflix now.

 

Just read your edited version and completely agree with you.

I was just curious if the fear of earthquakes played a large role in people's preparations in that area of the country.

I've heard similar stories. Again, completely agree with you.

Depending on how all of this stuff goes at work, we'd be looking at either Seattle or the Denver area. Really wherever we want, depending on the job market.

We'll be in Seattle next week visiting my brother that works for Microsoft, where I'll be interviewing, so we'll see how that goes...

...and sunshine.

 

Colorado is honestly my first choice.

There are a few jobs in Englewood that I have looked into. Any insight as to what that area is like? Any prepping concerns I should be aware of before getting too excited?

Winter is cold.
