Why a Bug Out Bag?: S1E14 Green Berets No Nonsense Bug Out | Gray Bearded Green Beret

So you may be asking why start with the bug out bag if that's not your primary plan. The reason is you know your primary plan of course should be to bug in. That should be everybody's primary plan. We're already doing that. We live at home. But the bug out portion of it and having that backpack available is applicable to the other three plans within your pace. You know your primary plan is to bug in. Your alternate plan is to bug out to an alternate bug in location that's already pre-established and you have use of a vehicle. Your contingency is you're going to that alternate bug out location or alternate bug in location but you don't have use of a vehicle so you're on foot. And your emergency is you don't have an alternate bug in location to go to or you have one that you can't get to so you're living out of that bag with the resources at hand for an extended period of possibly. So the reason that I start with the bug out bag is because it's an integral part of every single one of those additional plans. Your alternate, your contingency, and your emergency plan. And if we're honest having a go bag even if it's just at your house integrated into part of your bug in system is going to make you that much more prepared in the event you need to move to one of those plans. So that's why I think it's the most important. I think it's easiest to set up and I think that if you have a go bag, a bug out bag, whatever you want to call it. If you have one of those and you have a pace plan and you have a system of caches in place that and you've you've kind of planned for and planned for those contingencies and you've planned for and recon your routes so that you know where things are and you can pre-stage things that are going to be useful to you in the event something like this happens to where you're living off of what resources you have available on your back and what you have out there then you know just having that bag and that pace plan and that system is going to put you that much more prepared than the vast majority of people out there. So that's why I start with this in the future. I want to talk more in detail about the other plans you know as far as bugging in prepping your home things that you can do so that while you have access to that if that plan is actually what you're going to be able to be using if you're going to be able to do that bug in things that can make that you know more beneficial more easy to do so some home preps I also want to kind of talk to you guys about vehicle preps in the future to kind of go into that alternate plan a little better and then establishing an alternate bug in location a lot of things that are part of this larger system but the first part of the system is that go bag a system of caches planning rehearsing and actually practice executing your plan if you've got that you're more prepared than the vast majority of people out there that's all I want to say about that got to give all your heart if you want to be set free sister said now don't you hurt me I come from the place that you brother took my penny for me with a cry oh not true you've got to give of your heart if you want to you've got to give of your heart if you've got to give of your heart
