When people think of bug out vehicles, what often comes to mind is a huge and expensive military truck tricked out with booby traps and cool gadgetry and painted in camouflage. But for the everyday person such as yourself, the vehicle that's going to have to carry you and your family to safety in the event of disaster is simply going to be the car that you have in your garage or driveway right now. Regardless of whether you have a Toyota Camry sedan, Subaru Outback wagon, Honda Odyssey minivan, Chevy Tahoe SUV, or a Ford F-150 pickup truck (or any other makes and models in those categories), any one of those will work as a bug out vehicle! While bugging in will almost always be safer than bugging out, you may be ordered to evacuate by the authorities or you may be forced to anyway if the danger of staying at home is too great, and this is why you need to have a designated bug out vehicle. In the event that something terrible occurs, you need to make sure that your bug out vehicle is prepped and ready-to-go, and this is includes having a fully stocked survival kit in your bug out vehicle all set up. You should already have a survival kit handy in your car anyway, but for your chosen bug out vehicle specifically, you will need to make sure that this kit is extensive and complete, because for all you know you could be dependent on it for several days if not weeks while trying to escape the danger and reach safety. In this book, we are going to cover how to assemble a complete survival kit for your bug out vehicle. Topics we will cover include: Basic Rules To Follow For Assembling A Car Survival Kit Signaling, Communication, and Navigation Shelter and Comfort Items Fire Starting Devices/Lights/Warmth Food and Water Tools and Weaponry First Aid Kit Repair Tools BONUS CHAPTER: Staying Alive In Your Car During A Winter Storm Remember, the point of this book is not to discuss how to choose a bug out vehicle or how to modify it, but rather just how to put together a thorough collection of survival items to keep in your car at all times and to keep you alive when you are stranded or need to bug out. Let's dive right into it!
