Why won't GPS work? Im not saying rely on it but the satellites are still going to be there in most cases unless we get hit by a comet.
whats in my bug out kit and WHY?
ok so I have scoured numerious forums, looking for what people are putting into there Bug out bags/kits. I am by no means an authoritarian on this subject but I do have experience as a former member of the us military. so with that being said I will post up pics of my BOK and i will try to explain why i grabed those things to put into it , my kit is not definitive and is ever expanding so I will start with my small pack contents
