If it works for you and you're happy, rock on.

I live in a 2nd floor apartment not far from Chicago and within a 20-minute drive of one of the country's largest refineries.

I've got an emergency bag in the truck, another in the apartment. A few gallons of water in the apartment, 6 liters in the truck, emergency rations in both. Still intend to put together somethiing closer to a truer BoB with some clothing, toiletries, etc. and to throw some MREs in the truck and in the apartment.

What's it all for? Darned if I know ... but I feel better knowing it's there.
