When I lived with my sis and BIL I had only the very basics of emergency preparedness -- a dozen bottles of water, some shelf-stable foods, some cash, etc.
Now that I live alone I cannot spread that risk around (like what I could not cover, perhaps my sis and BIL could, and vice versa).
Yesterday I felt the urge to put together a small BOB and set it near my bicycle at the doorway. So if something wacky happened I could:
1. Grab-and-go on my way out to my car.
2. Grab-and-go on my bike if there was a problem with the car/traffic.
But then I thought, is this really necessary?
