Get Out Of Dodge Tips For Your Bug Out Vehicle

4 GOOD Tips That Will Put The Odds In Your Favor During A Disaster Evacuation

A lot of people think that "preppers" are a little crazy having a bug-out bag ready to go on a moments notice. They commonly argue that, in a disaster, they'll just hop in the family Bug Out Vehicle and be safely on their way with no worries.

Something you need to consider though, is while it may be true that you'll start out in a vehicle, that option might quickly become a death-trap down the road.

You see, when a hurricane is coming... a power grid goes down... a toxic spill contaminates an area... a wildfire is headed your way... or any number of other emergencies force you to evacuate, it's complete chaos. Normal rational human beings become panic driven, irrational jackasses.

Everyone is in a mad panic, all scrambling to get out of dodge at the same time - you're practically guaranteed to get caught in the resulting traffic jam. Not to mention the resultant road-rage type fist fights and other ensuing mayhem.

Cars stall... overheat... run out of gas.. get into accidents in the mad rush... Some pull over off the road - and some just park there, dead, in the middle of the road, blocking traffic for thousands behind them. Idiots will still do idiotic things, mostly likely in a much worse fashion than normal.

You can NOT afford to follow the "herd" when it comes to Getting Out Of Dodge due to a disaster evacuation!

Instead, here are some bug-out tips:

  1.  Store your bug-out bag in your vehicle. This way, it's always  
     ready to go, especially if you're not at home when you're forced to  
     evacuate.  Being first on the road will get you ahead of the  
     morons who weren't prepared.

  2.  Map out back roads. While people are headed to the  
     interstate "parking lot", taking back roads will be less  
     crowded.

  3.  Store extra fuel outside the vehicle. People forget that  
     fuel pumps need electricity to pump. If the power goes out,  
     it doesn't matter how much fuel is in the gas station's tanks.  
     Besides, fights break out at gas stations along evac  
     routes as people with short tempers argue over others "taking too much". Store  
     2-5 gallons of fuel on a roof or tail rack at "go time" for  
     emergency evacuations.

  4.  Be prepared to leave your vehicle. There may come a point  
     where you're forced to leave your vehicle behind and trek  
     the rest of the way to safety on foot. This is, again, where a  
     bug-out bag is necessary. You need to just be able to grab  
     it and go at a moment's notice. (BOB weight is very important here!)

Again, when most people think that they'll be able to just drive to their bug-out retreat, they tend to over pack their backpack with stuff that's just too damn heavy! When you are forced to walk (possibly carrying a child??), every little ounce of weight in your BOB will most definitely affect how much ground you can cover and how fast.

The Extreme Bug Out Bag guide follows an "ultra-light" plan that will make you as efficient and mobile as a Navy SEAL on the run - and still provide you with all the advanced survival gear you will need for any emergency.

Like I've said, there are over 27 unique bug-out secrets included in this guide that most people have never even heard of before!

Whether you're just starting out and don't have a bag at all... or if you're "experienced" and already have a bug-out bag, this program will open your eyes to a more advanced way of looking at how you get yourself and your loved ones to safety during a disaster.

Common Bug Out Bag Mistake That Could Get You Killed

This Simple Bug Out Bag Mistake Could Cost You Your Life - What Color Is Your BOB?

Don't feel too bad if you're guilty of this. . .

Honestly, it's probably the most common "bug-out bag" mistake most people make.

BTW... it's because of mistakes like these that I recommend you check out the program that teaches you how to build an Extreme Bug-Out-Bag.

Bugging out can be a lot like a military mission. You're trying to get from Point A to Point B during a disaster, and along the way you're trying to evade looters, military, law enforcement, beggars and those bent on stealing what you've got.

So naturally, most people who go out and buy a bug out bag choose a "military" style bag in the color of...

  *  Coyote Brown  
  *  Khaki  
  *  Olive Drab Green, or  
  *  Camouflage Pattern

But what if I told you that every single one of these colors is like a giant neon sign that screams "ATTACK ME!" to everyone around you. Why?  It's simple really...

Think about it...99% of the people you'll come into contact with while evacuating a danger zone are going to be desperate. They'll be hungry... thirsty... tired... panicked... and looking for anything they can get their hands on to ease their suffering or anyone to take out their frustration and anger on.

Then along comes you... all decked out like a soldier with your camouflage backpack. Your military-like stature shows that you were smart and prepared... and that you have really cool "survival stuff" that THEY would love to get their hands on! See what I'm saying?

The bottom line is, the more "prepared" you look, the more likely you are to attract attention from displaced opportunists who will beg, borrow, or STEAL your stuff.

Now, I DO recommend a military style packing system (with plenty of "MOLLE" straps for attaching extra gear), but the big question here is...

     "What color SHOULD your bug-out bag be?"

Well, the #1 best color is actually "navy blue".

This color is common enough that it won't draw attention, but dark enough to blend into the night so you can lay low and avoid detection.

If you can't find a navy blue military style pack, your next best choice is "black", as it's still a very common color but doesn't necessarily scream "military" as much as green or camo. Are you starting to get the picture?

With all that said, now may be a good time to re-evaluate your choice for a bug-out-bag as well as the gear you're putting in it.

And right now you can get the ultimate "B.O.B. guide" for only $7 (limited time - till Saturday 11-17-12)

Not only will you get the definitive checklist of all the essentials you need, but you'll also discover 27 bug-out bag secrets you've likely never heard before, like:

  *  The 2 items you can pick up at your local pet store that can  
     save your butt in a collapse bug-out!

  *  3 weird survival barter items - during time of crisis these  
     can be more valuable than cash!

  *  A simple item you can use to make sure you're NEVER hassled  
     by beggars or looters (Just a hint: it's NOT a gun!)

  *  The superior alternative to rope that has almost as many  
     uses as duct tape (and no....it's not para-cord.  It's  
     potentially even BETTER!)

That's just a small list and it doesn't even scratch the surface of all the cool bug out bag tips covered in this one-of-a-kind guide.

CLICK HERE to see for yourself why this is so different.

Even the most experienced prepper will find several "ah-ha" items you probably never even thought of before!

Oh, yeah... Please... do NOT tell me that you won't have to worry about the color of your bug-out bag because you'll be "armed".

Hey, desperate people looking to take what's yours are NOT going to just walk up and hassle you. If they really want what's in your bag, they're going to ambush you from your blind spot or track you until you're alone, sleeping, and easy prey.

Your best bet is ALWAYS to lay low and go unnoticed. That's why the color of your bug out bag is so important. And if this tip was enough to open your eyes even a little, imagine what you'll find in the full version of the Extreme Bug Out Bag guide!

27 Extreme Bug Out Bag Items You Never Thought Of - Hurricane Sandy Evacuation Mistakes

Extreme Bug Out Bags are essential to your survival when disaster strikes.

The recent devastation of Hurricane Sandy was a wake-up call. With widespread power outages and massive flooding destroying homes and leaving others without food, water, and electricity for nearly two weeks so far.

Unfortunately, many people in the path of this storm didn't heed the evacuation warning. Sadly, they paid the ultimate price with over 100 now reported dead...

> Toddlers were ripped out of a mother's arms and carried off in the flood waters.

> A teen son stayed to help his father in a basement that within seconds was filled with water - both drowned.

> Parents were crushed in their car by a falling tree, leaving 2 children in the back seat orphaned.

Look, when a disaster is coming your way, there's a time to stay... and a time to leave. You and I both know that disaster can strike at any minute and you and your family could be forced to leave your home and "bug out" to a safe refuge.

But 99.9% of people are just NOT prepared to evacuate at a moment's notice.

Is that YOU? Do you have a plan? Could you have left your home on short notice and safely reached you "safe harbor"? So many people can not and are not prepared to do that.

That's why this week, we'll be looking at "bugging out" so you can prepare NOW for a time when you and your loved ones may be forced to "Get Out Of Dodge".

Starting with this...

     You MUST have a "bug-out bag" ready at all times!

This is the #1 rule of preparedness when you're forced to evacuate. A bug-out bag (B.O.B. for short) is your go-to survival kit you can easily grab and go, with all of the essential items you need to get to your next destination. At a minimum, you should plan for 72 hours - but it could be longer depending upon the crisis.

The million dollar question everyone asks is...

     "What should I put in my bug out bag?"

This is probably the most talked about topic in prepper circles and if you're like most people, here's what you do...

  *  Buy an "Army bag"  
  *  Google "bug out bag contents"  
  *  Copy the list - hit the sporting goods store - pack up and...

     Ta - Dahhhhhhhh!   "Instant bug out bag", right?

Wrong, wrong, wrong

Sure, there are tons of lists scattered across the internet about what to put in a B.O.B. - but most of these lists are pure crap.

Why? Well, remember... what you pack, you must also CARRY! Most lists are filled with too many unnecessary items and quite frankly, the WRONG items at that.
