I ordered one of these 2-pk waterproof storage containers and handed them to my daughter - said: Your task should you accept this mission is to configure one of the cases for a SHTF event to add to your Bug-Out-Bag. She said she will let me know when she's ready to start. She's been thinking about it for a couple of weeks so far.

Ya, youths today can put months and months together of "thinking about it"

That's true - daughter is my oldest...39. She was in Florida on a business trip this week, heading to a conference next week. Wife and I get dog duty. Son was also on a business trip out west, will be back mid next week. Looks like I'm going to be grilling for a day or two, weather is superb. Yesterday 12 May evening was getting flowerbeds prepped and flowers in the ground. Saturday's expected rain will hold off until late night so the garage will get my attention on Saturday. A lot of stuff needs to be thinned out and tossed or recycled. R/C aircraft and some balsa kits will be dropped off at the local R/C club, that will really make some room. Multicopters (drones) take up much less space.

OK 39, she missed all the significant delayed behavior.

Hahaha...you'r killing me, I laughed so hard my spousal unit came up to check on me. 🤣 She saw I was on G&G, turned around and left.

Cyrano, that's a good list and I want to highlight your suggestion about the Emergency Dental Filling Kit - you get a gold star - we never thought of this.
I will share one item she gave us for our Bug Out Bags, she gave us (wife and I) 4 tampons each...said - Mom doesn't need them any more and neither do you except they work great to plug a bleeding hole until you can get medical attention.

Cyrano, I will pass on your list and reading suggestion to daughter and son. Thank you for sharing - very good stuff. 👍

Cyrano, my daughter really like your list, she's been looking on the internet for some of the items. She also indicated some of the items in our bags needed to be updated. More to come.

To all the G&G family, Have a great Memorial Day weekend, I'm flying my US flag from Friday through Monday. Will be grilling, saluting, and remembering those that have passed.

My dad and all his brothers and sisters all served during WWII, all who were in combat made it home, one uncle (Navy) was at the docks at Pearl Harbor during the attack, got badly burned but survived. I listened to their stories growing up. One uncle would only give a high level review and I said something to the effect - If I'm old enough to ask you, I'm old enough to hear what actually happened. He never watered down his accounts after that. I was 10 or 11...

Cyrano, update - Daughter has been ordering some items to update our BOBs, not sure what all she got, will probably be during our Fall inventory, food rotation, and clothing change that she passes them out.

Cyrano, this excerpt above was from your 14 May 22 post where you provided a list of recommended items.
On Saturday 4 March 2023, a fairly heavy box arrived by FedEx. I let my daughter know and she said it's for our Bug Out Bags. I have no idea what she got but I am looking forward to finding out and will let you know. Might even post some photos. With everything that has been happening in the world recently, might be good to update and add a few new things.
This will revive an old thread but there is some good info posted on it for any new members.

And Cyrano, I might be older but I still remembered I owed you a response when we updated our BOBs - we didn't do a Fall update so now it's almost Spring
Take care my friend.
