Sierra's Journal, April 11th...
Dog carcass in alley...
... yeah okay I'm joking.
The first of my daily posts! We'll see how long I can keep that up, haha.
Well, despite the fact that it is my spring vacation, I am feeling greatly depressed. Mostly because I have no one to spend it with save my roommates who I already spend all my time with. Basically it's just a week where I get to do nothing. Oh well.
Today's topic of choice; survivalism.
I like it.
Well, I like the idea behind it, really. Self-sufficiency is something I would love to have, and being a little bit of a survivalist would only help in my quest for improved self-sufficiency. Plus I enjoy the idea of being prepared, so putting together a survivalist bag, Bug Out Bag or BOB, whatever, that idea makes me a bit of a happy camper.
Unfortunately I haven't done much in striving towards self-sufficiency apart from paying lipservice. So, I am going to plan a BOB and hopefully, eventually, be able to grab it and go in case bad things happen. It's like being a bigger version of a boy scout - BE PREPARED! :D
Things On The List:
Water
MREs/trailmix/energy bars
Money
Flashlight (need to look into the best kinds)
Ibuprofen
First Aid stuff
Pads (... what? They're good for stopping bleeding!)
I'm trying to decide what else I could use. Any ideas? Anyone?
