Most Americans are pretty
dependent upon their vehicles. It’s essentially how we get from point A to
point B. While we use our vehicles in
our daily routine, we often fail to include them in our preparedness plans. Time
and effort can be utilized more effectively if we do some advance planning.
Most vehicles have a wide
range of storage areas. Some are quite small, while others can hold a
significant amount of gear. This can be of vital importance if it becomes
necessary to “bug-out” in a hurry. Stashing a few extra but necessary items in
your vehicle ahead of an impending disaster can be an excellent means in which
to save some time and give yourself that needed edge. Sometimes a few minutes
can mean a world of difference if you have to bug-out.
Utilizing those extra
storage areas to carry a few extra items can effectively put you ahead of the
game. A flashlight and a multi-tool stashed in your vehicle’s glove
compartment, a good fixed blade knife hidden in a map pocket, a tarp tucked
under the back seat, or a 2 gallon cooler of drinking water tucked away in the
trunk can keep you ahead of the game. You
can even find space to keep a GHB (get home bag) in case your vehicle breaks
down. In most disaster scenarios, time is a valuable commodity and a little
advance planning will help you conserve as much time as possible. You can
always throw your bug-out bag in at the last minute.
Storage space is a terrible
thing to waste.
Got vehicle stash?

Don't forget a pair of BROKEN IN hiking boots or at least comfortable shoes, many office worker types wear clothing (especially women shoes) which are 'OFFICE FRIENDLY' but not very good for walking out.
Doesn't have to cost you a thing - an old pair of footwear you are thinking of retiring but still has useful life is perfect for this. Stuff them with at least two pairs of good socks so you can change them at intervals.
Thanks Riverwalker.
