So I've been hitchhiking for 28 years, 25 countries and 48 states. I'm 47. I got 3 vehicles at my disposal (I get rides, what can I say) But I want more, I want a great host. All you have to do is keep up on your own or do trade and entertain us when we pass through your region, and be...

As a Prepper and a traveler, do you tend to stay closer to HOME while there may be issues abroad? I do prepping plus house sitting in other Countries. I'm wary of travel during certain times of the year (hurricanes), plus possible issues with other Countries (N Korea, issues in Ecuador and...

Anyone know if you can bring (small) Safety pins on a plane? I'm traveling from Aus to London with Singapore Airlines and they don't mention anything about safety pins specifically but I would like know as they form part of my survival kit. I'm tempted to just get rid of them to avoid any...

Hey guys, its been a while since I've posted. Been busy trying to sort my life out, new business and all. Prepping fell by the wayside and Until recently I hadn't thought about it much. But now I just cant help but feel something big is about to happen. For the first time ever.. I hope it...

The horrible attack in Tunisia yesterday really got me thinking about what I would've done (or been able to do) in that situation, and about how to be prepared when such a long way from home. I'm not sure how many of you travel internationally, but I assume that most of us do try and go on...

The wife and I are heading overseas for vacation in a little while and she insists that I get a carry on/daily trip type bag for daily use (no man purse jokes please!). I was actually taking a tactical bag for such purpose (minus weapons of course) but I was wondering what the security people...

Hello all, So I am in China for the next eleven months. It is wise to plan for the worst and hope for the best. Being said, in a serious thought. What would be ideal for a RTH "Return to Home" bag for a overland hike from lower mainland China to East Coast Europe. I have no plans on...

eh nevermind.. mods please delete

I'm about to take a business trip overseas (Not third world). I was wondering what are particulars you would take/knowledge to be ready for a disaster situation while abroad. This isn't the only one I will be going to and it seems like I will be traveling more and more to different countries...

Below is an extended ramble and listing of the items within my FWPB. I'm hoping for feedback on what I have packed, what is deficient, and what I overlooked entirely. Thanks everyone! Also, what do you carry when you travel? ------------------ Every Day Carry ------------------ Keys - large...

As many of you pointed out previously, when traveling on business, being prepared for disaster far away from your supplies is a challenge. Food, water, shelter etc are all things that are relatively easy to plan for and take with you. Firearms, however, present an entirely unique set of...

DH doesn't usually do too badly with flus and infections, but he was stuck with travel conditions this week. 3hr flights, airports, and half a week in Orlando. Currently: High (for him) fever, 100-103 Pulse running high 80s to mid 90s lying down BP above his normal, high enough that he won't...

Hey guys, Its that time again and I have to travel on business. When I travel I rely heavily on cash reserves to get me home and/or supplied if the SHTF while I'm away from home. Typically I carry $2,000 in cash. Here is how I carry my cash. How do you carry yours?

I just returned from a business trip to New Orleans. Not being the first trip since starting to prep, I was again faced with the harsh reality of still not having the first clue what I would do if I found myself stuck, out of town, during a disaster scenario. How would I travel thousands of...

I travel a _lot_. This isn't very condusive for survivalism. As a result I've often looked at things I can take with me. The problem is, even talking about it you get lumped in with money launders and drug dealers. So you can't even talk about something and this is astonishing! Certainly...

Hey everyone, my wife and I just started this discussion yesterday and it got me thinking. How far into a heavily populated area would you travel to retrieve/rescue loved one after a shtf scenario had begun? My wife and I live about one hour away from the greater Seattle area in a fairly rural...
