Good questions and comments.

I am in central California at the moment, but actively looking to relocate north out of state. From time to time I also visit friends in the far south of California and the topic of trips to Mexico, particulary fishing trips, comes up.

I will be getting a passport soon and I just began wondering how this community used a passport as a survival /preparedness tool.

In an emergency I do not think I want to have to get to my safe deposit box.
