Spend all day getting mission critical stuff together for fast bug out (if needed). Good lord we have a shit ton of photos.
We pulled together:
Tax returns
Photos
I.D. (birth certs, ss cards, etc.)
Hard drives (have lots of drives storing video)
Video tape (original masters before we went 100% digital)
Clothing for two days
Meds
Weapons
Still need to pull together the kid's irreplaceable stuff -he's got a ton of artifacts ranging from fossils to early man stuff.
Also wife has some stuff from her mom she wants to keep. I reminded her we'll need room for two GSDs. I'm betting my wife will force me to rescue the hedgehog too.
The huge challenge is how we are situated - right on the edge of the forest. If there is a fire, we'll have very little time to react.
Plan is:
1. Move 64 across the street
2. Load truck with pre-prepared containers/dogs
3. Move truck and stuff away from fire to secure stuff
3a. if time allows attempt to thwart fire by wetting yard, trees, house (unlikely)
4. Split up - Drop off 64 at secure location
5. Go "somewhere" - don't know where yet.
We'll be living like this until it rains.
