Bugging InThis is a featured page

Zombie Diaries 1What is Bugging In? Simply, it is the part of survival concerned with preparing your common everyday locations for disaster. The idea is to gather everyone together, ride out the worst parts (typically most of the death and destruction happens in the first few days of the Panic) and then assess whether the situation is now under control, or if it is necessary to Bug Out.

Bugging In is the first step in preparations for disaster. It is also the easiest and cheapest. Most homes need only minor modifications, a little extra shopping and some common sense applied in order to have a decent Bug In Location.

Excellent places would be somewhere with lots of food and water easily accessible inside,weapons and ammo inside,and idea lookout points.A good place can be a Folgers,a Wal-Mart if the doors are barricaded,or similar place.

Zee-Man Spring Cleaning 14 Mar 16 2013, 5:12 PM EDT by renet76

Today we rolled over our food stocks. It had taken a few months of stalling on the bi-monthly grocery trip but it had to be done, too many of the dates were getting old. So out of the closet and into the cupboards. Then off to the grocery store to get replacements.

Another thing that I like to advise folks to do in the spring time is get their chimneys cleaned. Not just your fireplaces and wood stoves. Oil and gas furnaces have chimney's also.

Spring is for changing the oil in the UEV as well. For the little driving I do oil change twice a year is enough. Some folks have to change it way more often so I consider myself blessed. My mechanic recommends every 2500 miles but says 5000 miles will do. It takes 6 months for me to get there, so spring and autumn.

When I was growing up spring was the time to prune the orchard and till the vegetable garden.

What are the things you do for prepping and homesteading that have a special focus in spring?

Zresistance Do you let them in? Do you let them stay? (your bug-in-location) (page: 1 2) 28 Oct 16 2012, 7:00 PM EDT by PedroAsani

If random people come knocking at your door post apocalypse, do you let them in? Do you throw them a can of beans and a bottle of water and tell them to get going?

If you let them in Who stays? Only the kids ? Only the people who can contribute to the needs of the family?

If you let them in how long do they stay? Until they are fed and rested? Or for as long as they want?

I want opinions, rants, whatever you've got on the subject. I know how I feel, and i will post as a response, how do you feel?
