Emergency Evacuation Drill Close Shop Load Out Displace to Wilderness Camp

We started this evacuation drill by referencing a staged threat probability matrix on a white board on which we determined a power grid disabling solar storm would be most likely.

We proceeded to go through our preparedness binder which had an evacuation checklist that we worked through.

Many tasks were done to properly and securely shut down the facility including things like double checking locks, doing a final compost deposit, processing the last of the perishable foods, etc.

We staged our bug out bags (72 hour emergency kit backpacks) out on a large blanket to help make sure we left nothing behind. Bug out bag building has become quite a past time. As with anything, the more you use it, test it, force yourself to experiment with it for survival, the more effective they are. I've made quite a bit of use out of adapting bug out bags for a variety of conditions be it camping, survival experiments, travel, or even just to have supplies at the ready when you're out and about in the normal course of life. You'd be surprised how often a sensible collection of supplies comes into use when away from the home.

Once the car was packed we proceeded along a pre-planned route to a remote wilderness unofficial camp site and had a picnic to celebrate our successful evacuation drill mission.
