How long has it been since you checked your kids' bug out bag?
And your own?
So tonight, I was putting away my new rifle when I glanced at my son's awesome Monsters Inc BOB. I started to go on with business but then realized with the changing seasons, I should make sure it was up to snuff.
It wasn't.
Not only was it not, it was FAR from being acceptable for his current height, shoe size and needs. As a newish prepper, I must not have my autopilot on as well as I'd like to think. No, I don't let things go too long but even being a single shoe size too small would be miserable for my little guy - making it FAR from acceptable. So I switched out shoes, added warmer clothes, bigger underwear and socks, and put in a stocking cap and more warm weather gear. I'll need to buy him some gloves to go in it soon. I also changed out his few toys and books and put in some fresh food, water and candy.
Hope my experience tonight helps as a reminder to check your children's BOB.
Anyway, now I have a reminder on my wall calendar and my phone calender to check again in 6 months.
