Re: Bug Out vest?

You've given me some food for thought, the vest looks like a good idea. My basic plan for small time bo was to carry my cheap everyday backpack and wear a jacket that is too big for me with extra inner pockets(I cut from an old jacket and sewed inside).

Also had 3 ducks called dinner, lunch and tea, to remind everyone of there fate, which was tasty. Normally we take animals to the local abattoir a...

Agree that staying healthy is the best option. However depression is not something that only hits the unwell. I have once had a short and not too bad bout of depression, many years ago after a tragic death. This led me to work out the whys and wherefores for me, I stress ME, everyone is different, I...
