+ Pensant Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I had a guy at an outfitters build a “bug out” bag for me a few years ago that even included tourniquets. It came to about $500. I even went to an all-day class conducted by EMTs on applying tourniquets and treating fractures and gunshot wounds. I do weird things sometimes.

BuffaloKyle Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 It's always a good idea to keep all your important paperwork in a flame and waterproof safe or somewhere easily accessible to grab in an emergency. Besides the things you mentioned also your social security card, birth certificate, titles to your house and car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Slater I keep copies of all those things in a safe deposit box, but I also keep copies of all of them in a file cabinet at home. I send copies of most things to my brother-in-law, who holds the secondary power of attorney, but not my will (I don't want family to know exactly what's in it); my lawyer also has a copy of the will. With all these copies available elsewhere, I don't see any reason to carry all of these things around with me in an emergency bag, which could get lost during an emergency. + Pensant and + Lucky 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Slater I will remedy that this week! I had a very close brush with death in an auto accident almost 4 weeks ago, so I now have an even keener appreciation for keeping these things easily accessible to my family.

dbar123 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I used to have a safe deposit box at my bank until the branch moved and I was asked to come and empty out the contents. I brought all the stuff home and realized that it was just a waste of money. My house deeds are all online and I no longer bother with life insurance….and my attorney has wills etc. I bought a small fireproof safe and keep it at home where it’s easy for me to get to. If a thief breaks in they will be quite disappointed unless they want copies of my old draft card and expired passports Kevin Slater 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSR Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Cash: Plenty of it. In a natural disaster, businesses might not be able to take credit cards. Plus you might meet a really hunky FEMA worker looking to moonlight. Water bottle w/biofilter: potable water can be scarce during/after a natural disaster. Gun & ammo: Crazy sh*t happens during a natural disaster. Ya never know. + Vegas_Millennial 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
