Episode Synopsis

Stuck on an interstate overnight? Power out for days? This episode breaks down practical preparedness you’ll actually use—no LARPing, just real plans that keep your family safe. We unpack the difference between a Get-Home Bag (72-hour kit) and a Bugout Bag (long-term sustainment), when to “bug in” vs “bug out,” and how to build kits that fit your budget and your reality. In this episode, we cover:

Go Bag vs Bugout Bag: What each is for and how they work together
Real scenarios: Atlanta “Snowmageddon,” flooded highways, grid-down nights
Top-5 essentials: Water purification (not just filtering), fire starting, cutting tools, weather-ready clothing, light/comms
Redundancy rules: “One is none, two is one”—why backups matter
Family planning: Packing for kids, staying put safely, when to move
Night vision basics: PVS-14 vs duals, why low-light mobility is a superpower
Cold/rain strategy: Wool layers, footwear, ponchos vs noisy rain shells
