Have you prepared your bug out bookbag? 🤔 Books emergencies bore several people yearly! Don't let it happen to you! 😜 @libraries@literature.cafe @Libraries@fedigroups.social @library @books@lemmy.world @bookstodon@fedigroups.social @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop @joinin@fedigroups.social #Book #Emergency #Bugoutbag #Library #LibraryMemes #Meme #Libraries #Librarians #Humor #Humour #Funny #Bookstodon #FantasyBooks #Books

The concept of a #bugoutbag is a very common and popular one, when thinking about #survival and #preparedness, the first thing you should do is assess actual #risks. The likelihood of facing an actual #evacuation scenario is infinitesimal for anyone who doesn't live in a place with frequent natural #disasters and very small for those who do. Growing up on the East Coast, hurricane evacuations aren't unheard of. Once, while I was at college in PGH, there was a train derailment/chemical spill.

Of the three realistic risks, only 1 of them applies to non urban areas: widespread natural disaster.

For most people, in most probable #evacuation scenarios, that is going to mean one of three things:

  1. a hotel stay
  2. a family or friend visit
  3. an emergency shelter stay

In none of these cases will it be necessary to pack a #survival knife in a #bugoutbag. In some cases, it might not be wise, or even permitted.

And why are you talking about packing 5 identical bags, anyway?

I see questions like this regularly, because I tend to hang around in places where #survivalism and #preparedness are discussed. If you are fretting over what (insert piece of gear) you should put in a #bugoutbag, a thing that by definition is something ready to go on a moment's notice and kept intact until and unless #evacuation is needed, first ask yourself whether or not its something you actually ought to be carrying on an #EDC basis. This is particularly true of #knives and #flashlights.
