Thank you for this comment and you are correct you cannot be 100% prepared. The unexpected can happen.

The main points of this post was to make people think about the important aspects of bugging out rather than how they will charge all their electronic gadgets during a bug out and learn to fish while they are in a high stress situation also to realise that food stores has a time limit it’s the knowledge and experience that will serve you better.

Drill a small hole in the rat trap so it can be tied down securely lol

And yes I will be doing a variety of outdoor related posts and will revisit different aspects of the bugging out/in subject.

Thanks again
