Editor’s Note: A few months ago, we posted about What Really Happens in an Economic Collapse. Today we are looking at a real life bug-out situation. It is my hope we never have to evacuate our homes, but hearing such a story from someone who has been there gives us a glimpse of what it’s really like so we can better prepare ourselves.

This post is by Bernie Carr, apartmentprepper.com My last post discussed possible alternatives for dealing with liquid waste while trying to bug out without having to stop.

This post is by Bernie Carr, apartmentprepper.com Close to a year ago, while we were focused on building our home preparedness items, I wrote about toilet paper substitutes in this post.

It is said that if you slowly increase the water temperature, a frog won’t notice and will eventually and passively die in the pot. The following is a guest post from David Spero at Code Green Prep. Yesterday, Bernie wrote about Five Reasons Why You May Have to Bug Out Even Though You Don’t Want To.
