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 .
