Owning a bug out bag is one thing, what you put in it is another. About a year ago I had to evacuate my flat in a hurry because of a fire, I was out for a month. I left with only the clothes I stood up in, fortunately my wallet was in my coat pocket as I had buy all the essentials.
As a result of that I keep a bag next to my door with what I would most need if that situation occured again.
It is not a wilderness/zombie attack survival bag, just spare clothes, personal hygeine, essential documents and a bit of grub, sommat to drink, and a bit of spare cash.
Most of the end of civilisation scenarios are far fetched (for the time being) unless you live in a flood prone area, but fire is an ever present threat.
As for anything else my SUV (I was without a car last year when the proverbial hit the fan) is equipped with the kitchen sink, literally.
Hi guys and gals
I'm in to prepping. Check out this website if you are too or are interested in learning more...
www.thesurvivalpodcast.com
Daily podcasts of 40-60 minutes-ish, by Jack Spirko. American based but lots of useful info that translates directly. Everything from gardening, food preps, money, sideline businesses, preparing for weather events, etc.
Its not OTT and its not all doom and gloom EOTWAWKI type stuff. Some of the political stuff and certainly a lot of the gun stuff isn't relevant to us but I find myself strangely hypnotised by Jack's voice and find it interesting any way.
Download an episode or two and give it a try
BTW - they're all free. First 5 mins of each podcast is kind of advertising.

I think the only reason I might need to supply myself with a well stocked armoury including portable tactical nuclear weapons is to protect me from the American survivalist nutters.
i keep a jerrycan of fuel, portable generator - 95 quid in b&q -, petrol stove, paraffin & lamps, weeks supply of tinned/dried grub, bagful of cheap tea lights, some in my shed & some in the camper van. ie away from the house. i have a fire extinguisher (dry powder) in my van, & by the door. i may never need any of it, but it beats that worried feeling when you suddenly get a foot of snow forecast--
industrial can of vindaloo paste for me and being a hungry bugger i would probably turn to canabalising looters
Whats this vindaloo thing first time I heard it was watching Red Dwarf inquring minds need to know.....
Vindaloo is a very hot curry eaten by young men late saturday nights with approximately 10 pts of lager. Renowned for its after burn, might be a thread on it under firelighting skills.
Curry in general is probably the most popular dish eaten in restaurants here in UK. Throw back to our Indian empire days old chap.

I prepare and I bushcraft, I have food and water stored, we grow some of our own food and we keep chickens for eggs (worst comes to the worst its a chicken vindaloo).
Survivalism and Preparedness leave a nastey taste in many peoples mouths because of the tinfoil hat and wannabe Rambo brigade, many of us especially in the UK are nothing like that.

vindaloo is puree of garlic and chillies that makes for a hot curry although not the hottest if made right its very nice but some places think your taking the pee when you order one and crank in tonnes of curry powder where it becomes dry and crap if you get a nice one it becomes a way of life ( i have just finished 3 days of slow roast lamb in vindaloo sauce
I live in a big city right now and i dont think that stocking food & equipment here is of any use in an emergency scenario. When **** hits the fan, i'll try to get out asap! I have my stuff organized to get out quickly and i have three little buried caches with a bit of water, food and equipment. Used paint buckets are excellent for this task, since they are cheap, water- & smellproof and tough as nails. I wouldn't exacly describe it as preparedness, but it'll definitely help!
And you think 'they' would let you leave the city? Can't control you if your out in the countryside can they.

I would like to see how "they" put a ring of steel around any town, let alone a city. They might be able to put a road block up on all the roads leading in or out, but how would they stop anyone just walking out across the fields?
Forget about "they" its "them" you have to worry about.
I've strategically stored several rolls of Bacofoil, but I was careful to get sell by dates post 2012
