Survive the End Days
apples, but you cannot actually find anything to hunt for a few days, eat a protein bar. Your body will benefit from both vitamins and proteins.
Provided you pack them up in resealable bags, these energy bars can last for more than 5 years, in optimal conditions. The son of a friend of mine, Luca, ate a whole energy bar when he was 7, which he had found somewhere in the shed. When Monica, his mother saw what he had done, she instantly panicked.
“ Nathan would you mind driving me to the ER? Jason is out of town and I didn’ t know who else to call”, she told me in a brittle manner.
“ Are you OK? What’ s wrong?”, I remember asking in a rather panicky mode. They have been my neighbors for many years now and I’ ve come to acknowledge that their family was beautiful. They were all kind people and I didn’ t wish for something bad to happen to any of them.
“ I’ m afraid Luca might develop some food poisoning”, she said. From the tone of her voice, I could almost see her quivering.“ I will come right now.”
Within a few minutes I arrived at their house and drove them to the hospital. After asking the little one a few questions and running a few test, the doctor came out of the lab, smiling.“ You have nothing to worry about”, he told her.
What Monica believed to be accurate was, in fact, wrong. The doctors advised her that her son was in no danger at all, as energy bars have a life shelf of more than half a decade, provided they are stored in cool places, like the shed was.
4. Clothing
Many times, people seem to forget about the importance of having a few extra clothes in your bug out bag. Assuming you will wear some sturdy boots to properly protect your feet in any situation, you will also need the following items:
� A pair of long pants � 2 pairs of socks � 2 shirts( 1 long sleeve and 1 short sleeve for layering) � An impermeable jacket � A hat
Why are these necessary? Take into account all possible scenarios. What if you fell into freezing water? What if you slip on mud? What if there’ s pretty windy outside? What could go wrong? What if it will pour with rain?
However, be careful not to carry too many of your clothing items and always be aware of how much you bag weights. The more it weighs, the more it will slow you down.
