Have a 'bug-out bag"?

Back in the 70''s when survival-ism was a  big thing and stores that sold all sorts of gimmicks and gee-gaws sprang up all over the place I lived in Southern Ca.  It was two hours from my home to get out of the LA basin If you headed any direction but South (South was out to sea.  San Diego is due east of Long Beach, CA.) .  If you weren't on foot when the apocalypse hit you soon would be.  Just the traffic alone was mind boggling.  Think about 3 million people trying to get out of the LA Basin.  It is worse now.  LA. effectively extends from the Ventura County line to San Diego or the Mexican Border.

Friends of mine at the time talked about what they would take with them, and I could not help but laugh at the amount and weight of the items they chose to take.  Not only would a vehicle have been needed, but a couple of trailers most certainly have been necessary.  They laughed at my choice of firearms: my 1911 and it's 22 rf conversion unit.  As much 22 ammo as I could carry and one box of 45acp, along with food and water of course.  By the way most ground water here in the USA is not really potable.  I always thought that: " All I wanted to do was survive.  They wanted to conquer.".  Running and hiding made more sense to me than standing and fighting.  Now I am too old, broken down and fat for that option.  I think that I'll just stay here and kill whoever pees me off. 

Oh, Rick, I am within easy walking distance of the game filled Coconino Natl. Forest, but water would get to be a real problem.
