Reading an essay on planning I realized that we might be planning - and packing , for the wrong thing.
During most events 99% of the time we'll be 'bugging out' to a hotel, friends house or community shelter. Not a spot in the woods.
And if my car breaks down, I'm not walking home. ( ride, rail, stay at work, uber, bike...)
So why am I packing like a Boy Scout? Do I need a water filter, tarp and whet stone?? Its more likely that I'll need a phone charger, contact solution and clean shirt for work.
Thoughts?
