Prepper's Blind Alley

This weekend was thinking how we all put things away for some distant future
event that may or may not happen. This weekend, I spent doing it for
real….got out my best pack…took all kitchen equipment I thought I could
use and put into the pockets…got out my tent and lashed my sleeping bag to
the pack along with the tent. And then, I stood back and thought some
more…my new sleeping pad, mattress got folded and tried ahead to make sure
it inflated and put into the pack. Here is my bug out packs…my medical
pack, my kitchen pack with tiny stoves and necessary matches etc. pots pans,
my knives, compass, etc. my sleeping bag, tent, and self-inflating mattress.
Next, here is my food packs with food for Harpo good for a month, mine a
week or two, and one pack of clothing for the winter.. worry about summer
when it comes. Make sure you have hats, gloves, socks goes with you…not to
forget as our winter is cruel here. I think hey if can’t stand it may become
the first blind beach bum… But at least my bug out bags are ready. Got one
suitcase ready in case I do get the chance to train with another guide
dog… Other stuff camp furniture goes into storage if I get apartment, or
maybe if I don’t can haul just so much around and with packing Harpo’s stuff
and mine, need four wheels to drag away, a car. His stuff consists of:
medication heartworm meds, mosquito meds. towels, a couple of toys…bones
for chewing, his food in another pack, his grooming equipment… God knows
like packing for a kid. He has his own bags besides mine. Of course his
metal dishes too two barrels of food…small ones to fit someplace. That is
all…enough can’t cart all out in one pack impossible. Other stuff for
storage are footlockers if I can’t find someplace to live here. Well, that
is all…everybody get ready…soon something big comes our way…many
choices as to what will be, but feel it in my bones….Karen and Harpo the
great dog who sits through ten dental surgeries last two years!!
