I got to test this two nights ago. As the Almeda fire continued to progress to our town and the evacuation levels started getting called I started preparing to bug out. I don't think I did too bad. I had a list and 2 preprepared boxes. One with important papers and the other with bug out box of emergency food, water, first aid stuff. It didn't take long to gather some more items. Clothes, medicines, candles, flashlights, and dog and cat food and the extra stash of cash. I felt pretty good. In the end, we didn't have to go, we were spared. But my stuff still sits on the hallway floor ready to go as we have fires all around us and I dont' feel safe yet. Still I forgot some things, A collection of gems wasn't included in the bags. I forgot to do a last minute recording of the house and contents. I'm sure I forgot other things too. It was my first time ever bugging out and even though I didn't have to I don't think I did too bad. We had time to gather the things. So it wasn't a rush. If I had had to leave immediately I still think I could have gotten out with the two boxes. I had the cat corralled and ready to put into his carrier. The dog was easily brought. I had my handbag with necessaries in it. I think I could have managed a no warning bug out in about 5 minutes with food, cash, vital papers and some food supplies so I feel pretty good about that. It was good practice not having ever had to do that before.
