Nice, thats a proper bag! I will empty mine later and take a pic. Mine is also for 2.

I like your thread idea, I'll post in it if you want to start one. good topic!

first aid kit contents, all hand-picked, like the bugout bag:

I am not going be living off the ground. I have a small first aid kit, but that's it. In the event we have to evacuate, it would be out of the area or to a shelter. I'm not about to forage off the land.

you don't even know you live in an earthquake zone.

Your body needs clean water to survive. Im not an expert on earthquakes but from what i understand the drinking water can be disrupted for a week or more. Its a $19 dollar straw that weighs nothing and you could suck water from a freshly used shit pit in the Congo and not get sick.

Maybe swap out one of your laptop chargers and throw it in....

Maybe because they are imbeciles?

Еще веревку и мыло купи, чтоб повесится в случае чего. Клоун :1orglaugh

Dance ruskie!

knife, pocket flashlight, cigarette lighter, little bottle vodka for disinfection, portable radio set and phone + solar battery, gun+ammo, condoms, moni and ID )))

you missed all of that in the first pics I posted except for solar panels. and guns and ammo are stupid weight to carry in a bugout bag, the pic you quoted is only the first aid kit.

let's see your bugout bag.

This morning I read an article about a sixty-four year old woman who left her house and now it's destroyed - again - third time in ten years. You must be kidding me.

Like my cousin who lives in a "double wide trailer" in Florida, who has also lost her house three times in ten years. Time to move.

richard, you're a judgmental hypocrite and a nitwit.

Solar бядь pales? During a hurricane??? Are you real that stupid? A hurricane will bring you the electricity you will never be able to consume, because it will bring a billion times more than you need but you really rely upon a solar energy??? Really? Why you are so stupid, ah?

Dance american idiot, just dance...

These people live in a hurricane zone. They know it's coming. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. They don't keep supplies, they don't have plywood, and then they bitch when their houses get wiped out three times in ten years. The woman in the article this morning said "I'm exhausted" and "I cannot afford this again". Then fucking move.

Move some place where they don't have hurricanes and you have to rebuild every other year.

I am a hypocrite? Why, because I live in a earthquake zone? I've been here since 1989, we've only had one earthquake here, I lived through it, and had no damage other than losing whatever that was in my fridge.

you are even more drunk, hateful, and stupid than usual. do you see solar panels in my fucking bugout bag? of course not.

let's see your bugout bag drunkfuck.

richard, you are attacking a little old lady victim because you don't approve of where she lives. I could list a million reasons why people live where they live, many out of necessity, many because the locations are much much nicer than where you live, but that would all fall on deaf ears with you.

Man, I really don't understand these people. For example, I live in a non hurricane zone. My apartments are regular ones and not really expensive (I've paid about $200K USD). But every wall here is made of 20 centimeters of reinforced concrete. You can't destroy it even with AK47, which easily penetrates a brick wall. This house can easily stand a -40C winter and a nuclear blast. Literally.

you're too drunk, stupid, and full of hate to realize flood waters don't give a shit how thick the wall is.

when next time I will move in somewhere, I will make a photo my bag)

after hurricane.

And again, I disagree with you.

I'm sure many people stay because of their job, their family, they like the area, etc.... It's a choice. The woman in the article I mentioned earlier said she was "exhausted" and that she "cannot afford this again" but you already know she is going to turn around and build there again. More or less she cannot live in her own house two thirds of the time because it's constantly being rebuilt. She is going to spend the next two years renting a house some place else while her house is rebuilt, she'll move in for a year or two, and then repeat the process.

Isn't this the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results?

Another thing that bothers me is the small towns that constantly get hit with floods. The flooding happens every five to ten years, but they are going to be strong and they are going rebuild. Why? They already know this is going to happen again. (I bet they are also paying out the ass for flood insurance.) Why wouldn't they rebuild somewhere else? The next town over? Two miles over? On a hill. At least this way when the river crests in four years and Main Street gets flooded again, they won't lose everything. I get it, I understand. It's much cheaper for them to have the insurance company just repair the damage, etc, instead of taking down the building and rebuilding someplace else. I get that. But I can't have much compassion for someone when they say "This happened three years ago, and I don't know if I can go through it again". Well... It is what it is.

Whatever I guess. If they want to spend the next two years rebuilding that is there decision.

Rochard, I'll give you a perfect example. Ellicott City, Maryland. Main Street is at the bottom of a hill. The leaders in the community decided to overdevelop the wooded land above the town. Because of this, flooding is now MUCH worse than it used to be.

https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...6c&oe=5C20AAB8

"For 200+ years the flooding in Ellicott City came from the rising of the Patapsco River and was mostly limited to lower Main Street. During major rain storms the water was absorbed into the ground in the surrounding woods north and west of town and the Tiber River, which runs east along Fredrick Road, was wide enough to handle the overflow that ran through town. (rivers have the uncanny ability to be just as wide and deep as they need to be) In the past 20+ years developers and Howard County zoning board have banded together to pave over all of those woods with medium and high density housing. The yellow area is mostly new construction built in the last two decades. When you pave over the natural terrain and add sewers and roads that lead directly to Main Street (red area) you get a high speed rollercoaster for the water to ride right through town. This “top down” flooding has nothing to do with Mother Nature. This is a man-made disaster caused by greedy and/or uninformed people who decided that building homes above this wonderful city was worth the risk of destroying it. Our county has an infill problem and the Zoning Board never seems to grasp the big picture. My house is on one of the highest hills in Ellicott City and every year that more houses are built in the backyards of my neighbors, the more ground water I get in my basement. My house was built 100+ years ago and when I bought it in 2001 it didn’t even have a sump pump because it didn’t need one. In 2011, during Hurricane Lee, and right after two new houses were built in my neighbors back yard, I had to cut a emergency hole in the floor with a pick axe through a foot of water to pump it out with a submersible pump.
The county executive may be right that this is a “once in a thousand year storm” but anyone who has ever been on Main Street in a rain storm knows that flooding is a common occurrence since the construction above town became so out of control. Now, in perfect irony, The state and county will spend more money than they earn on tax from new construction to fix the damage it created. This is a horrible disaster but nature had nothing to do with it."

The blame shouldn't rest on the people who live there.

:pimp

jtfc richard. you live in a fucking central california small town shithole that also is in an earthquake zone prone to levee flooding and you are not at all prepared for any of that while you point your finger at little old ladies.

Been here 12 years in this town, never had an earthquake. We have no levees near us.

I'm not going to waste my time replying to that gibberish.


so according to richard:

people can't on the East coast

people can't live in hawaii

people can't live in puerto rico

people can't live in california or Washington (unless they are clueless to their surrounding like richard).

and that's just the USA.

and if you are a little old lady living in any of these areas, richard will point his finger at you and ridicule you for being a victim.

all while richard is completely unprepared for any kind of emergency


and that makes sense to richard.

I'm glad we disagree.

Lincoln has had:
2 earthquakes in the past 30 days
22 earthquakes in the past 365 days

your town has a sand bag program for levee system emergencies and flooding:
Lincoln: (Currently only offering sand. Bags will be put out should a storm event arise.)

The direct link to the sandbag information page is: City of Lincoln, CA : Sandbags

Lincoln Library, 485 Twelve Bridges Dr.
Joiner Park, 1701 Nicolaus Rd.
McBean Park, 17 McBean Park Dr. (by the skate park)

People in flood zones don’t move because often they can’t afford to move. House is paid for and selling it isn’t an option due to the flooding. Even if sold, people need money to move and can’t always get loans. They’re stuck there without options and probably don’t have fire insurance.

We’re expecting rain and wind but not much.

This false storm will have people not leaving so fast next time.

Of course you don't. You live in some paper Barbie house which price you still pay right out your pocket every month. In case of a hurricane, your shitty house will be blown out in a minute. Congrats and have a luck at your american dream )))))))

P.S. Did I say anything wrong? Don't you really pay a credit for your paper house every year? I'm a guy from a poor (as you stupid may think so, because we have low GDP and low salaries) country, but I did pay for my apartments right out of my pocket (to be honest it was a case with cash). I don't owe anything to anyone. I have never took a single credit. In your reality I'm a non-existing man w/o a credit history.

Exactly. We call it a hopelessness.



dyna mo is a typical american loser, who lives in his paper house, but... he doesn't even own it. The paper Barbie house is owned by bank, and that loser has to pay for the loan every month. So course he can't move. He can bite and spit with vodka at everybody like me through the computer screen at the Internet boards, but he knows that actually he is a slave of the bank. Theoretically he is a free man who lives in a free country, but practically he is just a peasant with a good (I hope) credit history. The American dream as is...

Since the 2016 FEMA inspection reports rate Placer County with a high probability of disaster flooding with Lincoln being near the top and the fact that you live near a major fault line, I think it's best you move asap.

I know you are locked into the bad solar lease, but see if you can sell and get the buyer to assume the lease. Then head east to higher ground and away from impending catastrophic earthquake destruction.

If you stay and are still alive with your house destroyed, the last thing I'd want you to endure is coming on GFY and having everyone ask you why in the world you were still living there.

He wont understand why everyone is asking him.

Can you believe all those people still live in hurricane zones?

I don't understand people who live in wildfire areas.
