I do have a decent assortment of USB micro cables in various places. They are just lot more common outside iEcosystem: various lights, 2 way radios, readers, you name it.. More and more I think, some sort of solar charger and USB cables must be included in the pack. As for another fire starting option, how about magnifying glass? We are in CA, no? |

1) My overland built Tacoma (does all the gear with it count as part of the truck or do I have to get rid of the tent, awning, water/gas jugs, recovery gear, lights, solar kit to recharge the battery, power inverter to charge phones, laptop, rechargeable flashlights, 2 first aid kit, map of california, 192 piece mechanics tool set, dewalt 16 inch electric chain saw with 2 extra chains, Shovel, Axe)
2) the family 3) bug out bags for my family 4) as much food and water as we can load on my tacoma. ideally we would not leave since the home is barricaded, and secured. we have enough stock for a year with the family of 4 plus 2. we would only leave if it got really bad like break down in government or zombies. |

My opinion is that you should have, at least, THREE possible destinations to bug out to; whether your plan is to 'bug-in' or not.
If you buy into the thought that all (or most) of what you'd include in your list of things to take should serve multiple purposes, then so too should you have multiple options in terms of places to go. Personally, I'd think of multiple routes "out" and go from there in terms of selecting potential destinations. It doesn't matter if you have a bunker with 5 years of supply and hardened against near misses by 10 megaton nuclear bombs if you can't get to it. Likewise, heading to the mountains in December or January and trying to 'live off the land' may not be your 'best' option at the moment the flag goes up. By the way, those destinations and how you're gonna get to 'em can have an influence on the selection of items you choose to take. |

Hike down to Baja? LOL!
That's about 225 miles of the most desolate nothing on earth. Attachment 959444
